Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see
www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see

This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 3310-1:2000), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 3310-1:2000/Cor 1:2004.
ISO 3310 consists of the following parts, under the general title Test sieves — Technical requirements and testing:
—
Part 1: Test sieves of metal wire cloth
—
Part 2: Test sieves of perforated metal plate
—
Part 3: Test sieves of electroformed sheets
Introduction
As the accuracy of test sieving depends on the dimensional accuracy of the test sieve openings, it is considered necessary in this part of ISO 3310 to keep the maximum permissible error on the apertures in metal wire cloth as close as possible.
Requirements other than maximum permissible errors on the apertures, such as requirements for the wire diameter, have not been limited more closely than necessary, since the influence of these criteria on test sieving is of minor importance, and excessively strict requirements may make manufacturing unnecessarily difficult.
