— dates of delivery;
— material standard number;
— delivery condition and metallurgical code of products;
— dimensions and tolerances or reference to an appropriate dimensional standard;

5 Health and safety
The products in the delivery condition shall fulfil the current health and safety laws of the area of the
country where it is to be delivered.
A product safety data sheet shall be available.
6 Technical requirements
6.1 General
The product shall be manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the relevant material
standard and the applicable requirements of this specification. A manufacturing schedule shall be
established and applied in accordance with EN 2078.
Product shall satisfy the requirements of the material standard and/or order and shall be free from
irregularities prejudicial to the subsequent manufacture or use of this product.
Notwithstanding previous acceptance complying with this material standard, any product that is found
at a later stage to contain such defects shall be rejected.
Unless otherwise specified, the requirements in Table 1 and Table 2 shall apply in conjunction with
those of the relevant material standard. Table 1 relates to lines 1 to 29 (inclusive) of the material
standard and Table 2 relates to lines 30 onwards in which the sub-line format is also used. Lines 2 to 98
may also be opened in line 100 if the material standard details specific qualification requirements. If a
specific line number is not shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the requirement is stated in the material
standard and/or order.
6.2 Qualification requirements
Qualification requirements when invoked by the material standard and/or order are detailed in Table 1
and Table 2. The number of batches and casts shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.
6.3 Release requirements
6.3.1 Release tests
Release testing shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer.
The purchaser reserves the right to perform any of the inspections and/or tests required by the
material standard and/or order.
The test samples shall be representative of the product.
When required by the order, the manufacturer shall inform the purchaser of the planned dates for
extraction of samples and release testing in order that these operations may be witnessed.
Table 1 and Table 2 detail the requirements for each line of the material standard. Unless otherwise
specifically requested by the purchaser, a particular inspection and/or test for release shall be carried
out if corresponding acceptance criteria and/or values are stated in the applicable material standard
but see also in subclause 6.3.5.
oSIST prEN 4700-002:2024
prEN 4700-002:2024 (E)
6.3.2 Retests
If any requirement is not met, retests shall be carried out under the following conditions unless
otherwise stated in the material standard or order. Products shall be:
— rejected;
— 100 % retested and the conforming products accepted; or
— partially or fully reheat treated if heat treatment can rectify the cause of the failure and retested.
For condition of use material, the number of reheat treatments shall not exceed the number
specified in Table 1 (line 7). The reheat treatment shall be stated on the release test certificate.
6.3.3 Rejection
Any failure to meet the requirements of the material standard shall be cause for rejection.
6.3.4 Special tests
Special tests may be required by the purchaser. In such cases, the nature of the test, method, frequency
and technical requirements shall be specified on the order or inspection schedule and shall be mutually
agreed by the manufacturer and the purchaser.
6.3.5 Capability clause
Where the capability clause is invoked and where sufficient statistical evidence exists, the test need not
be carried out (unless specifically requested by the purchaser).
However, this in no way reduces the obligations of the manufacturer to fulfil the requirements.
If subsequent testing indicates that the product does not comply with the requirements, the batch shall
be rejected.
If sufficient statistical evidence does not exist, the test shall be carried out at a frequency agreed
between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
6.3.6 Statistical process control
Reduction in the extent of release testing, other than that specified in subclause 6.3.5 above, may be
negotiated with the purchaser on the basis of appropriate statistical process control and/or
statistical data.
oSIST prEN 4700-002:2024
prEN 4700-002:2024 (E)
6.3.7 Inspection and test report
The manufacturer shall furnish, with each delivery, a report conforming to the requirements of EN 2078
stating the following:
— manufacturer's name and address and, if appropriate, identification of the plant;
— order number;
— material standard number;
— method of melting;
— delivery condition and metallurgical code of the product;
— quantity and dimensions;
— manufacturing and inspection schedule reference;
— cast and batch number;
— all heat treatment, including reheat treatment and, where appropriate, straightening and stress
relieving parameters, applied to the batch;
— test samples heat treatment;
— results of the tests and any retests if required by the purchaser.
6.4 Traceability
Each product shall be traceable to the cast, production batch and/or heat treatment batch at all stages
of manufacture, testing and delivery.

Elements not quoted in the material standard shall not be intentionally added to the alloy without
the agreement of the purchaser, except for the purpose of finishing the heat (e.g. addition of
deoxidant); reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent their inclusion during manufacture.
The purchaser, in agreement with the manufacturer, may set a limit to the amount of one or more
such elements and may require the amount of such elements to be stated in the certificate of
analysis.
The specified ranges of chemical composition are based on cast analyses. Any subsequent analytical
checks shall take into consideration the heterogeneity normal to the alloy.
Additionally, for remelted products, the samples shall be representative for the remelted ingot,
taking into account any macro segregation.

3 Method of melting 1 General — —
The alloy shall be made by the process required by the material standard, unless otherwise agreed
between the manufacturer and the purchaser. If the specification permits alternative processes, the
manufacturer shall decide which of them shall be used unless the purchaser states a particular
preference on his order. In all instances, the process by which the alloy was made shall be indicated
on the release note.
