ISO 19984 Standard for Rubber

ISO has published a series of standards focused on the biobased carbon content in rubber and rubber products, including polyurethanes. The published standards are:

ISO 19984-1 Rubber and rubber products — Determination of biobased content — Part 1: General principles and calculation methods using formulation

ISO 19984-2 Rubber and rubber products — Determination of biobased content — Part 2: Biobased carbon content

ISO 19984-3 Rubber and rubber products — Determination of biobased content — Part 3: Biobased mass content

These ISO standards are applicable only to rubber and rubber products which are made from biobased or fossil-based constituents. ISO 19984 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Subcommittee SC 2.
