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.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15968:2000), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
— to homogenize its structure and wording with other physical test standards;
— to contemplate the outcomes of the studies on mass definition.

Introduction
This test method has been developed to determine the apparent density and water absorption of direct
reduced iron in the form of hot briquetted iron (HBI).
Results of this test have to be considered in conjunction with other tests used to evaluate the quality of
products from direct reduction processes.
This International Standard 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.
The apparent density measured in this test can be used to certify that the HBI meets the apparent
density requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Code of Safe Practice for Solid
Bulk Cargoes.
