| ASTM A1101-16 NdFeB magnet specification | Public standard scope covers NdFeB material, workmanship, finish, sampling, certification, packaging, and magnetic properties such as Br, HcB, HcJ, and BHmax. | Converts an arc magnet RFQ from size-only buying into certificate and inspection evidence requests. | Accessed June 8, 2026 |
| ISO 10123 adhesive pin-and-collar shear test | The standard describes shear-strength testing for adhesives using a pin-and-collar specimen geometry. | Useful only as an adhesive screening reference; it does not directly certify coated curved magnets in a rotor. | Accessed June 8, 2026 |
| IEA Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025 | IEA says permanent-magnet demand from EVs and wind power continues to increase the need for magnet rare earths, while supply shocks can hinder diversified energy-technology manufacturing. | Supports cost and lead-time risk disclosure for NdFeB arc magnets that depend on rare-earth supply chains. | Published 2025; used June 8, 2026 |
| EU Critical Raw Materials Act permanent magnet provisions | EU policy adds traceability and recycling-information obligations for products containing permanent magnets. | Flags destination-market documentation risk for export programs, especially EV and industrial motor assemblies. | Regulation entered into force in 2024; used June 8, 2026 |
| Public supplier catalogs for neodymium arc magnets | Catalog and supplier pages commonly expose OD, ID, length, angle, grade, coating, pole split, magnetization direction, MOQ, and custom quote signals. | Supports the checker inputs and the split between catalog screening, custom RFQ, and engineering review. | SERP and supplier spot check on June 8, 2026 |
| Permanent magnet material property guides | Material guides consistently distinguish NdFeB, ferrite, and SmCo by strength, temperature behavior, corrosion risk, and cost. | Justifies material-family branching without pretending that one generic arc magnet grade fits every duty cycle. | Accessed June 8, 2026 |
| IEC 60404-5:2015 permanent magnet measurement methods | IEC defines methods for measuring magnetic flux density, magnetic polarization, magnetic field strength, demagnetization curve, and recoil line for permanent magnet materials. | Keeps the checker from treating a material family or shape as proof of Br, HcJ, recoil, or demagnetization margin. | Published 2015; stability date 2028; used June 8, 2026 |
| IEC 60404-18:2025 open-circuit permanent magnet measurement | IEC 60404-18:2025 defines DC magnetic-property measurement in an open magnetic circuit using a superconducting magnet and methods to correct self-demagnetizing-field influence. | Adds a current measurement boundary for small or non-ring magnet samples where open-circuit test method details matter. | Published February 20, 2025; used June 8, 2026 |
| ISO 17887:2025 rare earth traceability | ISO specifies traceability information for rare earths moving from separated products to permanent magnets, including supply-chain parties and locations. | Turns rare-earth traceability from a vague sustainability claim into a supplier-document request for rare-earth permanent magnets. | Published August 2025; used June 8, 2026 |
| CPSC 16 CFR part 1262 magnet safety guidance | CPSC states that subject consumer magnet products manufactured after October 21, 2022 must meet the federal magnet safety standard; industrial and commercial-only products are excluded from that subject-product scope. | Separates industrial motor arc magnets from loose consumer magnet products and flags repackaging or marketing-scope risk. | Rule effective for products manufactured after October 21, 2022; used June 8, 2026 |
| Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1116 | The 2026 implementing act lists products, components, and waste streams with relevant critical raw materials recovery potential, including permanent magnet traction motors. | Adds a current EU recovery-potential signal for EV traction-motor magnet documentation and end-of-life planning. | Adopted May 26, 2026; used June 8, 2026 |
