1 This International Standard describes the macroscopic methods used in current practice for assessing the content of non-metallic inclusions in wrought Steel products.
2 Macroscopic methods are those dealing with non-metallic inclusions visible to the naked eye or with the aid of a magnifying glass with a magnification of not more than X 10. Only inclusions equal to or greater than 1 mm long are taken into consideration.
3 The methods usually applied and defined in this International Standard are :

- the step machined test method;
- the magnetic particle inspection method.
