First published in 1919, ISRI's Scrap
Specifications have become the universal language
for scrap buyers and sellers in domestic and
international trades. The online version essentially
makes the specifications a "living document" that
can be updated more frequently than the printed
circular.
The specs are, in simplest terms, shorthand for
scrap transactions. They generally assign a word,
number, and/or letters to a specific scrap product
followed by a brief item description, then a more
detailed summary—the specification—of
the material.
For more information on ISRI's Specifications, see The Story on Specs in
Scrap, September/October 2005, from the
online article archives at scrap.org.
