Specifies procedures for the pickling, descaling and oxide removal for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys using acid or alkaline solutions. It gives advice on preliminary cleaning, rinsing and drying procedures, and requirements for safety precautions and for the surface condition after treatment.

This Standard sets out procedures for preparing metal surfaces by immersion, or by other means, employing chemical solutions to remove oxidation products (scale), corrosion products and related foreign materials.It includes acid pickling and alkaline descaling methods for the following materials:(a) Steels.(b) Cast iron.(c) Aluminium and aluminium alloys.(d) Copper and copper alloys.(e) Zinc and zinc alloys.(f) Nickel and nickel alloys.NOTE: Advice and recommendations on information to be supplied by the purchaser at the time of enquiry or order are contained in Appendix A.
