3.6
purchaser's recovery department
department responsible for recovering the scrap produced by the purchaser and preparing it for
treatment by the scrap processor
3.7
scrap lot
scrap from the same alloy and same classification prepared by the same processor in accordance with
the same process schedule and processed at the same time
3.8
classification of scrap
scrap categories and sub-categories as defined by Table 1
3.9
