The ISRI specification is as follows:

Contamination should be limited to small metal parts such as clips, bolts and screws. No TPU or RIM Plastic allowed.”

ISRI says written appeals should provide “a rationale and a request for action” and should be sent to ISRI President Robin Wiener at [email protected].
