AS ISO ASTM 52907:2021 Additive manufacturing – Feedstock materials一Methods to characterize metal powders.
This document provides technical specifications for metallic powders intended to be used in additive
manufacturing and covers the following aspects:
— documentation and traceability;
— sampling;
— particle size distribution;
— chemical composition;
— characteristic densities;
— morphology;
— flowability;
— contamination;
— packaging and storage.
This document does not deal with safety aspects.
In addition, this document gives specific requirements for used metallic powders in additive
manufacturing.

4 Technical specifications
4.1 General
The supplier and customer shall choose the test methods appropriate to the customer’s requirements.
4.2 Documentation and traceability
To ensure traceability, statements of conformity and inspection documents shall specify the following:
— a unique document reference,
— the name and the address of the supplier,
— the reference of powder lot,
— the product description, including chemical composition, standard and/or trade/common name,
— the nature of powder production process (including e.g. type of gas used, environment conditions).AS ISO ASTM 52907 pdf download.
