| Standardization of general methods for mechanical testing, physico-chemical and nondestructive testing including if necessary the verification and calibration of testing equipment that is used to determine the properties of the steel. If the test standard is applicable to all metallic materials (in particular cases where the European Standard is based on an International Standard applicable to all metallic materials) the scope can be extended to all metallic materials.NOTE 1: where product specific testing is required, test methods must be prepared by the appropriate Technical Committees, unless otherwise decided by CEN/TC 459. |
