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.
International Standard ISO 11256 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 102, Iron ores, Subcommittee
SC 5, Physical testing for direct reduction.
Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard. Annexes B and C are for information only.

Introduction
Direct reduction processes are intended to reduce iron ores partially, or almost completely by thermal processes to
form high grade feedstocks for iron- and steelmaking. Several kinds of direct reduction processes are in operation
worldwide and others are still under development. The behaviour of the iron ores, as feedstock, may vary from
process to process. ISO 11256 was prepared addressing specifically the direct reduction by gas reforming
processes.
The obtained proportion of generated fines is a relative measure of the disintegration behaviour and the degree of
metallization is a measure of the metallization behaviour of the iron ore.
The results of this test should be considered in conjunction with the results of other tests used to evaluate the
quality of iron ores for direct reduction processes.
