It specifies classification, designation and marking. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. ISO 31-0:1992, Quantities and units Ð Part 0: General principles. NOTEInformative references to documents used in the preparation of this standard and cited at the appropriate places in the text, are listed in a bibliography, see annex A. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard the following definitions apply. 3.1 unalloyed magnesium magnesium with a minimum mass fraction of 99,0 % 3.2 cast unalloyed magnesium unalloyed magnesium cast in a variety of shapes 4 Information to be supplied by the purchaser The enquiry and order shall define the product required and shall contain the following information: a) material designation; b) product shape; c) quantity (e.g. number, mass, etc.); d) any requirements for declarations of conformity; e) any additional requirements agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 5 Designation The material shall be designated either by symbol or by number (see Table 1). 6 Manufacture The manufacturing process shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering. NOTEThe manufacturing process covers all operations up to the delivery of the product. 7 Requirements 7.1 Chemical composition The chemical composition of cast unalloyed magnesium shall conform to the requirements for the appropriate material given in Table 1. If not otherwise specified in the enquiry and order, the chemical composition of the cast unalloyed magnesium shall relate to that of the samples taken from the melt at the time of pouring. 7.2 General condition of the product The product shall have a clean surface and shall be commercially free from visible and internal defects to a standard agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 8 Testing For analysis of chemical composition, samples shall be taken by the manufacturer to assure conformance to the chemical composition requirements given in Table 1 and shall be representative of the material delivered. 9 Rounding of numbers In recording chemical analysis, the number representing the result for any value specified in this standard shall be expressed to the same number of decimal places as the corresponding number in this standard. The rounding of numbers shall meet the requirements of ISO 31-0:1992, annex B, clause B.3, rule A or B. The choice shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer, unless the use of one of the rules is agreed by the time of acceptance of the order. 10 Declaration of conformity and inspection documents If agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser or when specified on the order, the manufacturer shall provide a declaration of product conformity or an inspection document listing the results of the analysis of the chemical elements given in Table 1, and of any other element which may have been previously agreed.
