scope:

This Standard specifies low carbon steel wire rods (hereafter referred to as wire rods) to be used for the manufacture of the low carbon steel wire, zinc-coated low carbon steel wire, etc. It is not applicable to wire rods for core wire of electrodes.

NOTE: The International Standards corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 16120-1: 2011 Non-alloy steel wire rod for conversion to wire-Part 1: General requirements

ISO 16120-2: 2011 Non-alloy steel wire rod for conversion to wire-Part 2: Specific requirements for general-purpose wire rod (Overall evaluation: MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.
