Scope

This part of ISO 7404 specifies a method of deter-mining the proportions of the maceral groups (and the minerals if desired) in coals. It is concerned only with determinations made on polished particulate blocks using reflected white light. If needed, the proportions of the individual macerals may be determined by the same procedure. It is not concerned with the deter-mination of the proportions of naturally occurring maceral associations (i.e. microlithotypes, see ISO 7404-4).
