International Standard ISO 9013 applies to materials suitable for oxyfuel flame cutting, plasma cutting and laser cutting. It is applicable to flame cuts from 3 mm to 300 mm, plasma cuts from 1 mm to 150 mm and to laser cuts from 0,5 mm to 40 mm. This International Standard includes geometrical product specifications and quality tolerances.

The geometrical product specifications are applicable if reference to ISO 9013 is made in drawings or pertinant documents, e.g. delivery conditions.

If this International Standard is also to apply, by way of exception, to parts which are produced by different cutting processes (e.g. high-pressure water jet cutting), this has to be agreed upon separately.
