Metallic Materials

In Germany alone, the metal industry employs 3.5 million people and achieved a turnover of 770 billion euros in 2009. Metals are at the core of all the world's economies.

Metals also play a central role in our everyday lives, whether in the form of household appliances, transportation, buildings or saucepans. Steel, iron, aluminium and copper are an important focus for standardization. Standards ensure that these materials are used safely and efficiently throughout the world.

We would like to inform you about new publications and standards about metals.
