4.1.2 Symbol
The matenal symbol designation Is based on the desgnation system given m ISO 1190-1.
NOTE Although mateulal symbol designations used Wi this standard mç be the san, as those Wi other standards using
the designation system given Wi ISO 1190-1. the detaled composition reqi.sremenhs are not necessar*y the sane,
4.1.3 Number
The material number designation s in accordance with the system given m EN 1412.
4.2 Product
The product designation provides a standardised pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal descrtion of a product Is conveyed In communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international level w’tti regard to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard
The product designation is no substitute for the fuN content of the standard The product designation for products to the standard shall consist of:
— denomination (Copper master alloy):
— number of this European Standard (EN 1981):
material designation, either symbol, or number (see Table 1):
— material form (the blowing designations shall be used as appropriate ING for ingots. NOB for notched bars. NOS for notched slabs, GRN for granules and BPS for broken pieces) (see 6.2).
The derivation of a product designation Is shown in the following example
EXAMPLE Copper master alloy conforming to this standard. m matinal designated either CuPI5(B) or C18E. in the fom ci granules, shall be designated as blows
