Annexes A, B and D form a normative part of this International Standard.Annexes C and E are for information only ISO15165:2001(E) Introduction The detail of the classification system has been developed by international collaboration under the auspices of VAMAS Standards Research and the Japan Fine Ceramics Association.Its construction has followed an international survey of requirements amongst manufacturing and user industries [1], discussions at an international workshop at Ispra, Italy, June 1990 [2], a consultant's study [3], and a final report of the work of VAMAS TWA14 [4], The use of this International Standard has been reviewed by VAMAS TWA14 in an international project to test and demonstrate it. Based on the findings of this work, modifications agreed by VAMAS have been made to the original VAMAS Report[4], INTERNATIONALSTANDARD ISO15165:2001(E) Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics)Classificationsystem 1 Scope This International Standard describes a system by which fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) (see clause 3) may be classified. The system has been devised to cover all types of fine ceramics in the form ofinorganicprecursorsforceramicpowderproduction,powders,granularforms,fibres
