Gives guidance for the drafting of those parts of specifications for magnetic cores that are concerned with measuring methods for magnetic and electric core properties. Applies to magnetic cores, mainly made of magnetic oxides or metallic powders, used at low excitation level in inductors and transformers for telecommunication equipment and electronic devices employing similar techniques.
