The adoption of the ISO Standard as a Malaysian Standard was recommended by the
Technical Committee on Physical Tests under the authority of the Industry Standards
Committee on Rubber and Rubber Products. Development of this standard was carried out by
the Malaysian Rubber Board which is the Standards-Writing Organisation (SWO) appointed
by SIRIM Berhad to develop standards for rubber and rubber products.
This Malaysian Standard is the first revision of MS ISO 188, Rubber, vulcanized or
thermoplastic - Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests.
This Malaysian Standard is identical with ISO 188:2007, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic
- Accelerated ageing and heat resistance tests, published by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO).
