Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at www.iso.org/patents . ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a thermoplastic polymer material that is commonly used in additive manufacturing/3D Printing. This document specifically addresses the following:

• a) specify various parameters such as the appearance, dimensions, chemical and physical properties;
• b) this document is expected to improve the quality management of PLA based filament for additive manufacturing applications;
• c) provide information on end-of-life management, use of renewable biobased carbon feedstocks vs. fossil based feedstocks, Carbon and Environmental Footprint, and methodology of a circular economy.

The document is expected to provide benefits to both consumers and industry. Consumers may profit from this document by relying on standardized specification. This document is also important for the development and growth of a new environmentally responsible polymer material industry based on PLA.

1 Scope

This document specifies the technical requirements, test methods, detection rules, marking/labelling, packaging, transportation and storage of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) based filament for use in specific additive manufacturing technology, such as materials extrusion (MEX).

The document applies to PLA based filament for MEX additive manufacturing applications.
