DIN ISO 16916:2017-01

This standard defines the description and specification of injection moulds to be used when requesting tools (stage of tender) and ordering tools. It also gives data for material acquisition, equipment, structural design of injection moulds including the surfaces of the tool. Information relating to machine-specific data, types of operation and warranty is also contained in this specification sheet. This standard does not apply to compression moulds and die casting dies. By using this specification sheet, the offers of various suppliers can be compared with each other. In consideration of these specification misunderstandings, misinterpretations or claims to damages shall already be eliminated or minimized at the time when the tools are ordered. This standard contains the German translation of International Standard ISO 16916:2016, which has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29 "Small Tools", Subcommittee SC 8 "Tools for pressing and molding", the secretariats of which are held by AFNOR (France). The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 121-03-03 AA "Press-, Spritzgieß- und Druckgießwerkzeuge" ("Tools for moulding") at DIN Standards Committee Tools and Clamping Devices (FWS).
