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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 12315 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 226, Materials for the production of primary
aluminium.
This International Standard is based on AS 2879.11, Alumina — Guide to reporting Al O content of smelter-
2 3
grade alumina, prepared by the Standards Australia Committee MN/9, Alumina and Materials Used in
Aluminium Production.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12315:2010(E)
Aluminium oxide primarily used for production of aluminium —
Method for calculating the Al O content of smelter-grade
2 3
alumina
1 Scope
This International Standard describes methods for calculating and reporting the Al O content of smelter-
2 3
grade alumina, on either a dry or ignited basis, from the results of the determinations in accordance with
ISO 806 and AS 2879.7.
NOTE Typical values of a smelter-grade alumina, if reported on a dry basis, would be in the range of 98,5 % to
98,9 % and, if reported on an ignited basis, would be in the range of 99,4 % to 99,7 % mass fraction.
