ISO releases CD-Rom

March 2008 News

ISO has just launched the new ISO Standards collection on CD-ROM – Materials for the production of primary aluminium. It contains the full collection of 108 ISO standards for materials used in the production of primary aluminium, including standards for alumina, pitch, coke, electrodes, ramming paste and fluorides.  

The primary aluminium electrolysis industry produces about 30 million tonnes of aluminium a year with a total value of USD 80 billion. About 60% of the production cost is in materials. The ISO standards for this sector help professionals involved in the production of primary aluminium to make sure that the quality and the consistency of these materials are met, while the CD-ROM makes the standards available in a convenient, economical and easily accessible form, including a numerical index and full-text search.
