17、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 r
18、ight 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 procedu

ISO 2017 All rights reserved vPD ISO/TR 21275:2017ISO/TR 21275:2017(E) Introduction Fumes emitted during the rubber manufacturing processes were the topic of many studies. This comprehensive study was undertaken to c
24、ompile and review published data with respect to rubber fume emissions in the workplace. This review has provided a comprehensive bank of technical data for dissemination and further debate. It has assessed literature regarding the chemical composition of rubber fumes in manufacturing from a compreh
25、ensive range of processes. It has been postulated that fume emissions from rubber compound vulcanization can be considered a single chemical entity, cited as posing a carcinogenic risk to human health. Although many studies have tried to characterize rubber fume emissions, there is no known concise
26、study that provides a rational explanation for this conclusion. This study has tested this postulation and provided an insight as to whether it is a sound conclusion. The aim of this project was to evaluate, on a basis of sound scientific literature, whether it is scientifically robust to consider “
27、rubber fumes” as a homogeneous entity from a chemical point of view and, more importantly, in relation to measurement and control of occupational exposure risk for the rubber industry as a whole. An extensive literature review aimed at providing a compilation of literature related to rubber fume emi
28、ssions, this study has concentrated on the chemical compositional aspects of rubber fumes only and not on the toxicological or epidemiological aspects. In addition, although rubber dust and rubber fumes are being considered by the EU for a potential incorporation in the scope of the Carcinogens Dire
29、ctive, this study has only considered rubber fumes. This document provides detailed information on the study carried out, the results obtained from the literature reviews and the conclusions drawn from this information. This document comprises two main parts; the first provides a general overview of
30、 the key areas of rubber technology and the second provides an extensive review of in-house and external literature on the composition and nature of rubber process fumes. Natural rubber (NR) has been known to the civilized world since about 1493 when early European explorers found natives of Haiti p
31、laying with balls made from the exudates of a tree called “cau-uchu”. The term “rubber” was coined much later by the English chemist J.B. Priestly for its ability to erase lead pencil marks. The French scientist De La Condamine first introduced NR to Europe in 1736 and published his observations on
32、the material in 1745. Industrial application of rubber only occurred after Charles Goodyear in 1841 discovered the process termed “vulcanization”, which converted the rubber to a more stable and useful material, that paved the way for the growth of the modern industry. Synthetic rubbers were first p
33、roduced in Germany in the 1930s, and during the Second World War when the supply of natural rubber was interrupted, methods were developed for the bulk production of synthetic rubbers. Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) was one of the first synthetic rubbers to be developed and manufactured in high volu
34、me in the 1940s, mainly for the production of tyres and in an attempt to match the properties of natural rubber. Since that time, many different synthetic rubbers have been developed to allow the use of rubber in a very wide variety of environments and applications. Over the years, the importance of
35、 rubber to modern life has constantly increased. This is not always immediately apparent because rubber components are often not colourful, eye catching or are used in applications where they are not readily visible. Natural and synthetic rubber compounds are used in a highly diverse range of rubber
36、 products which are manufactured throughout the world for various sectors of industry and for a variety of end users, including, but not exclusively, automotive, aerospace, medical/pharmaceutical, defence, commercial, general industrial and others. Of the sectors where rubber is used, the automotive
37、 industry is of particular importance since tyre and tyre products account for approximately 60 % of the synthetic rubber and 75 % of the natural rubber used today.vi ISO 2017 All rights reservedPD ISO/TR 21275:2017ISO/TR 21275:2017(E) Table 1 provides an overview of the diverse range of rubber comp

47、ompounded material referred to as a “compound” or “formulation”, which may contain a large number of essential chemical ingredients. These ingredients will include the base rubber polymer(s), reinforcing and non-reinforcing particulate fillers, process oils, vulcanizing agents, protective agents, pr
48、ocess aids, etc. (all of which are available in many types and grades from many suppliers and can be included at different levels). The company or individual who designs a rubber formulation for a specific product has a vast number of ingredients to choose from and as such, many formulations are the
49、refore possible for a specific rubber product. The processing route by which the majority of rubber components are manufactured includes mixing the ingredients together in a controlled manner to produce a rubber “compound” or “mix”, shaping of the mixed compound to give the desired shape or form, then “vulcanizing” (also known as “crosslinking” and “curing”) the compound to convert it to a condition where it has permanent properties and shape. The type of rubber materials and manufacturing processes used will depend upon the individual product and are
