Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide fed-
eration of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 tech-
nical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collabor-
ates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical Standardization.
--`,,,`,```,,,`,,``,,```,`,,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are

circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.

International Standard IS0 11949 was prepared by Technical Committee

lSO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 9, Tinplate and b/a&p/ate.

It cancels and replaces IS0 111 l-1:1983, IS0 111 l-2:1983, IS0 4977-I:1984
and IS0 4977-2:1988.

Annexes A and B form an integral part of this International Standard. An-

nexes C, D and E are for information only.
