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 3.
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 part of ISO 16120 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 16120-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee
SC 17, Steel wire rod and wire products.
This first edition of ISO 16120-2, together with parts 1, 3 and 4 cancels and replaces ISO 8457-2 (1989) which has
been technically revised and augmented.
ISO 16120 consists of the following parts, under the general title Non-alloy steel wire rod for conversion to wire:
� Part 1: General requirements
� Part 2: Specific requirements for general purpose wire rod
� Part 3: Specific requirements for rimmed and rimmed-substitute, low-carbon steel wire rod
� Part 4: Specific requirements for wire rod for special applications
