(b) “zinc alloys” means metal alloys in which the mass content of zinc exceeds the mass content of each other element contained in the alloy, but the total content of all other elements is more than 2.5 % by weight.

(c) “zinc dust” means dust produced by condensation of zinc vapor and consisting of spherical particles smaller than particles of zinc powders. At least 80 wt.% of zinc dust particles pass through a sieve with cells of 63 μm (micron). Zinc dust must contain at least 85% by weight of zinc metal.
