NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard {First Revision) which is identical with 180 404 :1992 ‘Steel and steel products — Generat
technical delivery requirements issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by
the Bureau of indian Standards on the recommendation of the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee and
approval ofthe Metallurgical Engineering Division Council
‘This standard was frst published in 1978. This revision has been taken upto align it with ISO 404 :1992 by adootion
under dual numbering system.
‘Tho text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without devitions.
Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is
Parttutarly drawn tothe folowing:
2) Wherever the words “intemationat Standard’ appear rforring to this standard, they should be read as ‘indian
Standard.
'b) Comma ()) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard while in Indian Standards, the
‘curent practice is to use a point () as the decimal marke.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain Intemational Standords for which Indian Standards also exist.

GENERAL TECHNICAL DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
FOR STEEL AND STEEL PRODUCTS
(First Revision )
1 Scope
‘This International Standard specifies the general technical
delivery requirements for all steel products covered by ISO
829, with the exception of steel castings and powder
meteiurgical products.
180 10474 describes the inspection documents to be used.
‘Annex A ges details of related standards.
Where the defvery requirements agreed upan forthe order
of specified in the appropriate product or material standard
differ from the general technical delivery requirements
fined in this Intemational Standard, then it i the
requirements agreed for ordering of ‘specified in the
appropriate product or material standard which shall apply.

3. Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard the
following definiions, in addition to those in ISO
4948-1, 180 4948-2 and 180 6929, apply.
31 inspection: Actviies suchas _ measuring,
‘examining, testing, gauging one or more characteristics
‘of a product or service and comparing these with
‘specified requirements to determine conformity,
(Betton taken trom ISO 8402 C1)
‘32 testing: Any operation or action to determine one
‘or more properties or characteristics of a material or
product.
3.3 continuous inspection: Regular inspection and
testing of tho characteristics and/or manufacturing
parameters of a product manufactured over a long
pporiod, normally in large quantities and always to the
‘same specication. The tests and inspection are carried
‘out according to a procedure agreed between the
manufacturer and purchaser. This agreement may
cover, for example, speciicaions on:ts 8910 : 2010
ISO 404 : 1992
— the characteristics or manufacturing parameters to be
tested or inepocted;
— the condition of the products at the time of testing and
inspection;
— tho assessment of the test results (roquently staistical
agsossments);
— the right of the purchaser to verity the proper carrying
‘ut ofthe test inspections.
3.4 non-specific inspection and testing: Inspection and
testing carried out by the manufacturer in ac cordance with
his own procedures, to assess whether products made by
the seme manufacturing process meet the requirements of
the order. The products inspected and tested may not
necessarily be the products actualy supplied.
NOTE 1 Currnt discussion incest thatthe tem inspection an
testing wilbe replaced by aspect
3.5 specific inspection and testing: inspection and
testing carried out, before delivery, according to the
{echnical requirements of the order, on the products to be
‘supplied or on test units of which the product supplied is
part, in order to verify whether these products comply with
{he requirements ofthe order. (See 3.4 note 1.)

‘who is/are either:
4) the Inspector(s) designated inthe oficial regulations;
) the manufacturer's authorized representatve(s), who
{sfare independent of the production process, acting on
behalf ofthe purchaser(s);
©) the purchaser's authorized representative.
3.7 test unit: The number of places or the tonnage of
products to be accoptod or rejacted together, on the basis
of the tests to be cared out on sample producis in
cordance with the requirements of the product standard
‘or order. (See figure 1.)
NOTE 2 This torn is sometimes referred to in other in
tematonal Standards as "inspection lo" or "batch"
38 sample product: Stem (a shoot, for example)
selected from a test unil for inspection and/or testing. (See
figure 1.)
3.9 sample; A sufficient quantly of material taken from
the sample product for the purpose of producing one oF
mare test pleces. (See figure 1
NOTE 3 in certain cases, the sample may be the sample
product ise
340 rough specimen: Part of the sample having
lundergone mechanical treatment, followed by heat
‘treatment where appropriate, for the purpose of
producing test pieces. (See figure 1.)
3.40 test plece: Part of the sample, with spectied
dimensions, machined or unmachined, brought to a
Tequired condition for submission to a given test. (Soo
figure 1.)
NOTE 4 in certain cases, the test plece may be the sample
{set or te rough specimen.
3.42 cast (heat) analysis: A chemical analysis rep-
resentative of the cast (neat) determined by the
stoelmakor in accordance with his own procedures.
349 product analysis: A chemical analysis carried
futon the product.
3.44 sequential testing: A group or series of tests
‘rom which the average and individual results are used
to demonstrate that the requirements of the order
‘andlor product standard have been satisfied,
4 Information to be supplied by the purchaser
4.1 The purchaser shall select the steel typo, the shape
of the product and the dimensions, taking the intended
Processing and use into account. He may take the
‘manufacturer's advice in making his choice,
The order shal provide all the information necessary or
describing the product and its characteristics, and also
details concerning delivery such as:
1) mass, length, area, number of pieces to be de-

to. drawing, for example);
©) the nominal dimensions;
4) the tolerances on the characteristics in lems a)
