PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Alumina and
Materials used in Aluminium Production, to provide an XRF method for the analysis of
alumina.
The objective of this Standard is to provide those responsible for the analysis of smelting-
grade alumina with a standardized, validated procedure that will ensure the integrity of
the analysis.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is for information and guidance
only.
