2、e year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 jurisdict
3、ion 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 edition
4、 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 fo
5、r various sections and provides a templatefor drafting B05 product 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 exist
6、ing ones 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 requirement
7、s have 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.

23、nce 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, Committee B05recognizes
24、 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 wording, or both, for su
25、ch sections. An elec-tronic template including committee adopted language isincluded in the Appendix.74.3 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 andStyle Manual to ens
26、ure 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 develop-ment; in which c
27、ase, 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 Society. The headings id
28、entified with anasterisk (*) are a 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 specificationdoes not contain re
29、ference 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 RetestsB05ScopeASTMSp

34、for B05 specificationsAWhen reference is made to a general requirements specification, the se-quence position of the General Requirements section in the product specifi-cation should be prior to the first section referenced, which is usually Termi-nology.BTest methods that are detailed in specificat
35、ions shall contain all of themandatory headings shown in Part A, Section A1, of the Blue Book.5.4 Subject Headings shall precede each section to orientthe reader. Section and text paragraphs shall be numbered inaccordance with the Guide for the Use of the ModifiedNumbering System in Part D of the Fo
36、rm and Style for ASTMStandards manual. The following is an example of how itshould appear in a standard:1. Scope1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for.etc.6. Section ContentsNOTE 3Explanations of section content requirements are detailed inthis section. In the Annex and published se
37、parately on the B05 Main Pageunder Additional Information, is an electronic template containing recom-mended language for each section. In this guide, the examples wereremoved to avoid redundancy and inconsistencies.6.1 TitleASTM6.1.1 The title should be as concise as possible, yet com-plete enough
38、to identify the material, product, system, orservices for which 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
39、 two numbers of the year of acceptance or lastrevision. Reapprovals 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
40、 product application.6.3.2 A statement shall be included in this 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
41、, when one or more test methodsare included other than by reference.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 li
42、sted as References at the end of thestandard cited by number if 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
43、 footnotes to this section indicating the sourceof the documents. 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 B577).6.4.3 Do not use the year of issue when listing th
44、e refer-enced documents unless there is a technical reason for 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. General Require-ment
45、s specifications are B248, B248M, B249/B249M, B250/B250M, B251, B251M, and B824. When a product specifica-tion refers to a general requirements specification forapplicable requirements, the reference shall be made in thissection so as to alert the user that the details of the require-ment(s) shall b
46、e 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 mandatory; however, it is recommended sinceconsiderable repetition within a group of similar documentswould be avoided.6.5.1.2 In the cas
47、e where a section in the general require-ments section has been referenced and the same titled sectionappears in the product specification with requirements thateither supplement or supersede the referenced general require-ments section, use the explanatory clause 3.2 in the electronictemplate.6.6 T
