1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for the material, dimensions, and workmanship, and the properties of extruded, compression molded and injection molded acetal sheet, plate, rod, and tubular bar manufactured from acetal.

1.2 The properties included in this specification are those required for the compositions covered. Requirements necessary to identify particular characteristics important to specialized applications may be described by using the classification system given in Section 4.

1.3 This specification allows for the use of recycled plastics as defined in Guide D 5033.

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard in all property and dimensional tables. For reference purposes, SI units are included in Table S-POM and Table 1 only.

1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portions, Section 11, of this specification:This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
