2.3 SPECIFICATIONS<br />
The specificati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> copper vary for different end-use industries. The physical<br />
as well as chemical parameters are important factors to be c<strong>on</strong>sidered before deciding<br />
the end-use specificati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> copper. There are a number <strong>of</strong> industries where copper is<br />
c<strong>on</strong>sumed and the specificati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> copper c<strong>on</strong>sumed in every industry are different as<br />
per the requirement <strong>of</strong> the individual industry. Therefore, it is difficult to arrive at<br />
uniform specificati<strong>on</strong>s for every industry. The <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Indian</strong> Standards (BIS) has<br />
developed and published standard specificati<strong>on</strong> for copper c<strong>on</strong>sumed in various<br />
industries. The active documents in respect <strong>of</strong> specificati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> copper used in some<br />
major industries are listed in the Table: 2.4.<br />
