The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. has released the 2006 edition of its Scrap Specifications Circular, which features a new design to make the document easier to use.
The 2006 Scrap Specifications Circular contains several changes approved by ISRI’s board of directors in April.
Some of the changes to the circular include updated specifications for nonferrous grades Honey and Zorba; and new guidelines have been added for Tally, Elmo, and Shelmo. Nonferrous specifications have been sorted by type of metal rather than alphabetically, and the guidelines for Paper Stock Domestic Transactions contain new language.
The circular provides guidelines to help buyers and sellers in trading processed scrap materials and can be particularly useful when trades occur between parties that speak different languages. The circular covers grades and classifications of scrap, preparation and transportation of materials, and rules and procedures for adding, amending, or withdrawing the specifications. It also discusses the arbitration service available through ISRI.
The 57-page 2006 Scrap Specifications Circular is currently available for download at www.isri.org/specs. Printed copies will soon be available through the ISRI Store link on the Web site.
