ISRI Board Considers Changes To Specifications The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) board of directors plans to consider two new and one modified non- ferrous metal specifications along with proposed changes to the guidelines for paper stock contained in the ISRI Scrap Specifications Circular at its upcoming summer board meet- ing that will be held July 16 inWashington. The newly proposed nonferrous specifications are: Saint Nickel Bearing Scrap :Any nickel bearing alloy scrap that contains a minimum of 3 percent recovered nickel. Nickel content to be determined by recovery after buyer’s evaluation minus any nonconforming material or contami- nation. Balance of elements contained to be discussed be- tween buyer and seller. Material is to be free of any foreign material. Final material specifications to be determined be- tween buyer and seller. Reels Mixed NonferrousWheel Weights :To consist of non- ferrous wheel weights that are a minimum of 60 percent (overall) nonferrous and no more than 40 percent Iron (Fe). Anticipated nonferrous material may be both lead and zinc weights.To be free of foreign material. Final material specifi- cations to be determined between buyer and seller. Additionally, ISRI’s board will consider a proposed modifi- cation to the nonferrous specification for ropes lead wheel weights. The proposed specification states that ropes lead wheel weights would consist of lead wheel weights with or without iron clips, not to include scrap lead, lugs or plates unless specifically agreed to. They are also to be free of foreign material, and the final material specifications are to be determined between buyer and seller. The association’s board will also consider three proposed changes to its guidelines for paper stock. First, ISRI will con- sider a proposed change that would adjust the definition of outthrows to “all papers that will make the pack undesir- able and unsuitable for consumption as the grade specified.” Second, ISRI is considering a proposed change to adjust the definition of prohibitives to “will make the pack unaccept- able and unusable as the grades specified.” Finally, ISRI will consider adding new components to its guidelines Paper Stock Section to add a review date and a section or page showing when and what changes were made.
