Describes material, performance requirements and test methods for table cutlery (knives, forks, spoons, carving sets, ladles, children's cutlery and other serving pieces). It is also applicable to stainless steel cutlery and to silver-plated nickel silver, or silver-plated stainless steel, cutlery.

This part of this Standard specifies material, performance requirements and test methods for table cutlery (knives, forks, spoons, carving sets, ladles, children’s cutlery and other serving pieces).

This Standard is applicable to stainless steel cutlery and to silver-plated nickel silver, or silver-plated stainless steel, cutlery. It does not cover cutlery made wholly of precious metals, aluminium, non-stainless steel or that made entirely of nickel silver, nor does it cover gold-plated or chromium-plated cutlery.

Three minimum thicknesses of silver are specified for silver-plated cutlery.
