Scope*1.1 This guide covers the editorial procedures and form andstyle for product specifications under the jurisdicti
3、on 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 for
5、 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 existi
6、ng 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 requirements
7、 have precedence. If aconflict exists between this guide and the nonmandatorysections of the current edition of the Form and Style Manual,this guide has precedence.1.5 When patents are involved, the specifications writershould refer to the Form and Style Manual section on patentsand trademarks.

Inorder to promote consistency in the style and content ofproduct specifications under its jurisdiction, Co
24、mmittee 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 wor
25、ding, or both, for such 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 a
26、ndStyle 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 dev
27、elop-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 Soc
28、iety. The headings identified 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 specificati
29、ondoes 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
