I have been asked about SPI surface finishes, A1 and B3. Is this a specification? If so, where is it available?

Thanks,

SPI standards are from the plastics industry and the standard can be found on the Society of Plastics Industry website. www.socplas.org

letter 20910 explain what the SPI standards are and where to get them, and how we got from the numbered finishes to the lettered finishes. Good luck.
