This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Technical Committee on General Methods of
Test for Plastics under the authority of the Plastics and Plastics Products Industry Standards
Committee.
This Malaysian Standard is identical with ISO 604: 2002, ‘Plastics – Determination of
compressive properties’, published by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), which has the same title. The text of the International Standard is recommended for
publication as a Malaysian Standard without deviation. However, for the purpose of this
Malaysian Standard, the following apply:
a) in the source text, “this International Standard” should read “this Malaysian Standard”;
and
b) the comma which is used as a decimal sign (if any), to read as a full point.
