1.1This specification covers the material requirements for high-purity, dense aluminum oxide for load-bearing surgical implant applications.

1.2This specification does not cover finished parts (for example, femoral heads, acetabular inserts, dental implants and the like). It is intended as a qualification of the material as delivered to the parts manufacturer.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
