This European Standard specifies characteristics, chemical composition and metal yield of aluminium scrap consisting of skimmings, drosses and spills. It also applies to the metallics obtained by dry processing of drosses and skimmings.
Full lots of dross fines with a particle size smaller than 0,8 mm, or lots of drosses with a metal yield less than 30 % are not within the scope of this Standard.
