2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This guide covers the editorial procedures and form andstyle for product specifications under the jurisdi
3、ction of ASTMCommittee B05 on Copper and Copper Alloys.NOTE 1For standards other than product specifications, such as testmethods, practices, and guides, see the appropriate sections of Form andStyle for ASTM Standards (Blue Book).21.2 This guide has been prepared as a supplement to thecurrent editi
4、on of the Form and Style Manual, and is appro-priate for use by the subcommittees within ASTM CommitteeB05 on Copper and Copper Alloys. This guide is to be appliedin conjunction with the Form and Style Manual. The Appendixcontains a copy of the B05 electronic template which includesadopted language
5、for various sections and provides a templatefor drafting B05 specifications.NOTE 2The contents of this guide were previously maintained as awhite paper under the title, “ASTM Committee B05 Outline of Form ofSpecifications.”1.3 Subcommittees preparing new product specifications orrevising existing on
6、es should follow the practices and proce-dures outlined herein, and be guided by the latest specificationscovering similar commodities.1.4 If a conflict exists between this guide and the mandatorysections of the current edition of the Form and Style Manual,the Form and Style Manual requirements have
7、 precedence. If aconflict exists between this guide and the nonmandatorysections of the current edition of the Form and Style Manual,the guide has precedence.1.5 When patents are involved, the specifications writershould refer to the Form and Style Manual section on patentsand trademarks.

19、 B 846.4. Significance and Use4.1 The Form and Style for ASTM Standards manualprovides mandatory requirements and recommended practicesfor the preparation and content of ASTM specifications. Inorder to promote consistency in the style and content ofproduct specifications under its jurisdiction, Comm
20、ittee B05recognizes the need to provide a supplementary documentpertaining to the types of products and materials covered byspecifications under its jurisdiction.4.2 This guide contains a list of sections to be considered forinclusion in a specification for copper and copper alloys,recommended wordi
21、ng, or both, for such sections. An elec-tronic template including committee adopted language isincluded in the Appendix.4.3 Persons drafting new product specifications, or modify-ing existing ones, under the jurisdiction of Committee B05,should follow this guide and the requirements of the Form andS
22、tyle Manual to ensure consistency.5. Subject Headings of Text5.1 The following is the heading sequence for the specifi-cations text. The headings listed are those most generally used.Other headings may be included for specialized subjects whenthe information is pertinent to the document under develo
23、p-ment; in which case, all instructions and guidance for thatparticular section shall be applied, and these headings shouldappear in the most appropriate place and sequence dependingon their relationship to other sections.5.2 SuperscriptsThe headings identified as mandatory arerequired by the Societ
24、y. The headings identified with anasterisk (*) are guide for Committee B05 documents, whereapplicable, either by inclusion or by reference to a generalrequirements specification.5.3 Not all of the headings may be required for a particularstandard specification. For example, when the specificationdoe
25、s not contain reference to any other standard within the text,it is not required to include a section on Referenced Docu-ments. Or, in the case where no physical property requirementsare given, the physical property section is not required.TitleASTMSamplingB05DesignationASTMNumber of Tests and Retes

33、 the requirements are established by thedocument.6.2 Designation and Year of IssueASTM6.2.1 DesignationThe alphanumeric designation is as-signed by ASTM Headquarters.6.2.2 Year DateAfter the designation, a hyphen is fol-lowed by the last two numbers of the year of acceptance or lastrevision. Reappro
34、vals are the last date in parentheses. Footnote1 is not changed with a reapproval.NOTE 4The Form and Style Manual includes definitions of date ofissue and year date.6.3 ScopeASTM6.3.1 The Scope should be a brief summary of the productand product application.6.3.2 A statement shall be included in thi
35、s section as towhether inch-pound or SI units are the standard, if thespecification has a companion specification or is a dualdesignation specification.6.3.3 Include the prescribed caveat on safety hazards permandatory blue book language, when one or more test methodsare included other than by refer
36、ence.NOTE 5The safety hazard caveat shall also appear in test methods,guides, and practices that involve the use of materials, operations, orequipment.6.3.4 Related documents not referenced in the text may beincluded as a footnote, or listed as References at the end of thestandard cited by number if
37、 more than five are cited.6.4 Referenced DocumentsB056.4.1 List in alphanumeric sequence the designation andcomplete title of all standards and other documents referenced,including standards and codes of other organizations.6.4.2 Provide footnotes to this section indicating the sourceof the document
38、s. When referenced later in the text, us only thetype of document (specification, test method, practice, guide,etc.) and the designation letter and number (for example, TestMethods B 577).6.4.3 Do not use the year of issue when listing the refer-enced documents unless there is a technical reason for
39、 requir-ing a specific issue.6.5 General RequirementsB05,A6.5.1 This section should be used for requirements that areavailable in a General Requirements specification and areincluded in the specification by reference. When a productspecification refers to a general requirements specification forappl
40、icable requirements, the reference shall be made in thissection so as to alert the user that the details of the require-ment(s) shall be found in another document.6.5.1.1 The utilization of a general requirements section inthe drafting of a new specification or in the revision of astandard is not ma
41、ndatory; however, it is recommended sinceconsiderable repetition within a group of similar documentswould be avoided.6.5.1.2 In the case where a section in the general require-ments section has been referenced and the same titled sectionappears in the product specification with requirements thateith
