IMS International Standards (2025)

International Mg Society Limited (IMS)

IMS International Standards are developed to support the production, testing, evaluation, and trade of magnesium and magnesium alloys across the global industry. They provide a shared technical foundation for stakeholders throughout the magnesium value chain, helping to harmonize requirements, facilitate communication, and streamline technical and commercial negotiations.

Drawing on extensive data and industry experience, IMS Standards distill essential technical content and introduce targeted adaptations that reflect the practical realities of the magnesium industry. They are designed to address current industrial needs while remaining open to continuous improvement.

Developed by the International Mg Society, International Mg Society Limited and expert members, these standards are made available for trial use, and feedback from all participants in the magnesium industry is actively encouraged—particularly with regard to technical content. Contributions and suggestions from researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and users are welcomed to ensure the standards remain relevant, robust, and internationally applicable.

International Mg Society (IMS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing research, development, and applications of magnesium and its alloys. IMS provides a global platform for academic and industrial exchange, organizes international conferences on magnesium, and supports the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Journal of Magnesium and Alloys is the official journal of IMS.
