ISRI WILL UPDATE ITS SPECIFICATIONS, CREATE NEW INTERACTIVE, ON-LINE SCRAP SPECIFICATION RESOURCES, AND SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH TO INFORM STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND BEST PRACTICES. CURRENTLY PUBLISHED IN THE ISRI SCRAP SPECIFICATIONS CIRCULAR (WWW.ISRI.ORG/SPECS), THE SPECIFICATIONS SERVE BOTH AS BROAD GUIDELINES AND AS A STARTING POINT IN DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN SCRAP BUYERS AND SELLERS DOMESTICALLY AND GLOBALLY AND ARE ALWAYS SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATION BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER. ISRI IS UNDERTAKING A WHOLESALE REVIEW OF THE SPECIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO CREATE A HARMONIZATION OF THE TERMINOLOGY USED ACROSS ALL COMMODITIES AND TO CONVERT THE CIRCULAR TO A DYNAMIC, SEARCHABLE, INTERACTIVE, AND USER-FRIENDLY ONLINE RESOURCE. WE EXPECT THE NEW RESOURCE TO BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD BOTH BY THE INDUSTRY AS WELL AS GOVERNMENT ENTITIES THAT ARE TAKING AN INCREASING ROLE IN AFFIRMING THE QUALITY OF SCRAP IMPORTED INTO THEIR COUNTRIES.
