25、Use4.1 The Form and Style for ASTM Standards manual provides mandatory requirements and recommended practices for thepreparation and content ofASTM specifications. In order to promote consistency in the style and content of product specificationsunder its jurisdiction, Committee B05 recognizes the n
26、eed to provide a supplementary document pertaining to the types of productsand materials covered by specifications under its jurisdiction.4.2 This guide contains a list of sections to be considered for inclusion in a specification for copper and copper alloys,recommended wording, or both, for such s
27、ections.An electronic template including committee adopted language is included in theAppendix.74.3 Persons drafting new product specifications, or modifying existing ones, under the jurisdiction of Committee B05, shouldfollow this guide and the requirements of the Form and Style Manual to ensure co
28、nsistency.5. Subject Headings of Text5.1 The following is the heading sequence for the specifications text. The headings listed are those most generally used. Otherheadings may be included for specialized subjects when the information is pertinent to the document under development; in whichcase, all
29、 instructions and guidance for that particular section shall be applied, and these headings should appear in the mostappropriate place and sequence depending on their relationship to other sections.4 The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced on www.astm.org.5 Available from

37、ould be prior to the first section referenced, which is usually Terminology.B Test methods that are detailed in specifications shall contain all of the mandatory headings shown in Part A, SectionA1, of the Blue Book.5.4 Subject Headings shall precede each section to orient the reader. Section and te
38、xt paragraphs shall be numbered inaccordance with the Guide for the Use of the Modified Numbering System in Part D of the Form and Style for ASTM Standardsmanual.

39、 Section ContentsNOTE 3Explanations of section content requirements are detailed in this section. In theAnnex and published separately on the B05 Main Page underAdditional Information, is an electronic template containing recommended language for each section. In this guide, the examples were remove
40、d to avoidredundancy and inconsistencies.6.1 TitleASTM6.1.1 The title should be as concise as possible, yet complete enough to identify the material, product, system, or services forwhich the requirements are established by the document.6.2 Designation and Year of IssueASTM6.2.1 DesignationThe alpha
41、numeric designation is assigned by ASTM Headquarters.6.2.2 Year DateAfter the designation, a hyphen is followed by the last two numbers of the year of acceptance or last revision.Reapprovals are the last date in parentheses. Footnote 1 is not changed with a reapproval.NOTE 4The Form and Style Manual
42、 includes definitions of date of issue and year date.6.3 Scope ASTM6.3.1 The Scope should be a brief summary of the product and product application.6.3.2 A statement shall be included in this section as to whether inch-pound or SI units are the standard, if the specification hasa companion specifica
43、tion or is a dual designation specification.6.3.3 Include the prescribed caveat on safety hazards per mandatory blue book language, when one or more test methods areincluded other than by reference.NOTE 5The safety hazard caveat shall also appear in test methods, guides, and practices that involve t
44、he use of materials, operations, or equipment.6.3.4 Related documents not referenced in the text may be included as a footnote, or listed 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
45、 and complete title of all standards and other documents referenced,including standards and codes of other organizations.B950 1636.4.2 Provide footnotes to this section indicating the source of the documents. When referenced later in the text, use only thetype of document (specification, test method
46、, 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 the referenced documents unless there is a technical reason for requiring aspecific issue.6.5 General RequirementsB05,A6.5.1 This section should be used for
47、requirements that are available in a General Requirements specification and are includedin the specification by reference. General Requirements specifications are B248, B248M, B249/B249M, B250/B250M, B251,B251M, and B824. When a product specification refers to a general requirements specification fo
48、r applicable requirements, thereference shall be made in this section so as to alert the user that the details of the requirement(s) shall be found in anotherdocument.6.5.1.1 The utilization of a general requirements section in the drafting of a new specification or in the revision of a standardis n
49、ot mandatory; however, it is recommended since considerable repetition within a group of similar documents would be avoided.6.5.1.2 In the case where a section in the general requirements section has been referenced and the same titled section appearsin the product specification with requirements that either supplement or supersede the referenced general requirements section, usethe explanatory clause 3.2 in the electronic template.6.6 TerminologyB05NOTE 6For use of terminology in B05 standards, refer also to the Committee B05 Terminology Management Policy.6
