Iron ores for blast furnace feedstocks — Determination of low-temperature reduction-disintegration indices by static method — Part 2: Reduction with CO and N2
ISO 4696-2:2015 specifies a method to provide a relative measure for evaluating the degree of size degradation of iron ores when reduced with carbon monoxide and nitrogen, under conditions resembling those prevailing in the low-temperature reduction zone of a blast furnace. ISO 4696-2:2015 is applicable to lump ores, sinters and hot-bonded pellets.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 102, Iron ore and direct reduced iron,
Subcommittee SC 3, Physical testing.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4696-2:2007), which has been technically
revised to address the care needed during hand sieving, to introduce the mechanical sieving and to
exclude the reference to ISO 4701.

ISO 4696-2:2015(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 4696 concerns one of a number of physical test methods that have been developed to
measure various physical parameters and to evaluate the behaviour of iron ores, including reducibility,
disintegration, crushing strength, apparent density, etc. This method was developed to provide a
uniform procedure, validated by collaborative testing, to facilitate comparisons of tests made in
different laboratories.
The results of this test have to be considered in conjunction with other tests used to evaluate the quality
of iron ores as feedstocks for blast furnace and direct reduction processes.
This part of ISO 4696 can be used to provide test results as part of a production quality control system,
as a basis of a contract, or as part of a research project.
