This European Standard establishes a material designation system either by symbols or by numbers for cast iron.
The designation system by symbols is applicable to
a) standardized cast iron materials (see 3.1);
b) non-standardized cast iron materials (see 3.2).
The designation system by numbers is only applicable to standardized cast iron materials (see 3.1).
NOTE. The standardized designation by symbols does not necessarily imply that the material is standardized.
