The scrap shall be free from containers filled with liquid or gas. The scrap shall be free from free plastics or paper even if metallized. No manufacturing scrap from pharmaceutical blisters production is permitted. The scrap shall not contain more than 60 % (mass fraction) volatile substances unless previously agreed between supplier and purchaser. NOTEThe typical content of volatile substances removable with a thermal process can vary between 25 % and 60 % (mass fraction). 5.3 Form of scrap The scrap shall be supplied in bales having dimensions not exceeding (800 × 1 000 × 1 200) mm and mass not greater than 500 kg each. Alternatively, the scrap may be supplied as briquettes which shall not exceed 30 kg by mass and (300 × 300 × 400) mm by size. The scrap shall be free from pieces with a size exceeding 400 mm in any dimension or exceeding 600 mm as total of the three dimensions. It shall not contain pieces exceeding the capacity of two litres. 5.4 Chemical composition The aluminium scrap of this standard, after decoating, magnetic removal of free iron and appropriate melting shall have the chemical composition, as shown in Table 1.
