Scope

1.1 This specification establishes requirements common to wrought copper and copper alloy wire and shall apply to Specifications B16/B16M, B99/B99M, B134/B134M, B159/ B159M, B197/B197M, B206/B206M, B272, B301/B301M, B453/B453M, B967/B967M, B974/B974M, and B981/B981M to the extent referenced therein. 1.2 The chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties, and all other requirements not included in this specification shall be prescribed in the product specification. 1.3 Units—Values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other and values from the two systems shall not be combined. 1.4 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test methods described in this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
