National foreword

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee, NFE/35, Light metals and their alloys, to Subcommittee NFE/35/5, Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys, which has the responsibility to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this subcommittee can be obtained on request to its secretary.
