7 Cleaning after examination and demagnetization

Unless otherwise specified in the order, parts shall be cleaned after examination.

Demagnetization can be necessary for special applications, further processing and before carrying out retests.

After demagnetization, the use of magnets for handling the castings shall be avoided.

NOTE For further information see EN ISO 9934-1.

8 Test report
The test report shall be in accordance with EN ISO 9934-1. A model of a trilingual magnetic particle test report
is shown in Annex E.
