ISO International Standard

ISO 28238:2010 specifies the characteristics of components of gating systems used in injection moulds for the processing of thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics and elastomers. These are gating systems for solidifying sprues for externally heated gating systems, internally heated gating systems and cold runner gating systems.

The purpose of ISO 28238:2010 is to establish coherent terms for the different gating systems in professional terminology.
