1.1 This document specifies the principal requirements applied to the testing of parts produced by additive manufacturing processes.

1.2 This document

• identifies quality characteristics for feedstock and parts and the corresponding test procedures,
• provides the specific procedures to build specimens using additive manufacturing process, and
• recommends the scope and content of test and supply agreements.

1.3 This document is aimed at machine manufacturers, feedstock suppliers, AM system users, part providers, and customers to facilitate the communication on main quality characteristics. It applies wherever additive manufacturing processes are used.

NOTE It is the intent to include, in future versions of this document, other characteristics such as thermal properties, electrical requirements and physical and physico-chemical properties based upon material types.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
