Q. Hi, I'm a process engineer in the plastics moulding industry in the UK. I am being asked to get one of our mould tools re-textured to the Society of the Plastics Industry specification #6. This is an American standard and our British toolmaker needs to know the VDI equivalent. I can find no comparison table and I need to be able to let our tool maker know what is required. Can anyone help?

I cut and pasted your question into google.
One click got me the SPI website
The next click got FAQ and guess what was No 1
Give it a try; and don't mention the Bear in Ruardean!
