1.1.1 This standard does not specify the chemical compositionand the mechanical properties of the weld deposit.

1.2 Certain rods and wires specified in this standard are notsuitable for use with particular shielding gas. Suitability oftheir use with a particular shielding gas should, therefore, beascertained from the manufacturer while purchasing.
