TABLE - Other elements
┌──────────────┬───────────────────┐
│ Element │ Limiting content % by weight │
├──────────────┼───────────────────┤
│ Fe + Si (iron plus silicon)│ 1 │

Metallic substances in which aluminium predominates by weight over each of the other elements, provided that:
(ⅰ) the content by weight of at least one of the other elements or of iron plus silicon taken together is greater than the limit specified in the foregoing table; or
(ⅱ) the total content by weight of such other elements exceeds 1 %.
