This document classifies rubber materials into groups A, B and C based on their shelf life according to ISO 2230-2002. Group A materials have an initial storage period of 5 years with a 2 year extension. Group B is 7 years initially with a 3 year extension. Group C has the longest shelf life at 10 years initially with a 5 year extension. Common rubber types such as nitrile, EPDM, silicone and others are listed under their appropriate group. The document concludes that M Seals UK stores all rubber products according to the ISO 2230-2002 standard to take advantage of potential storage period extensions.
