Reading the tables

One alloy, five names

UNS (American) — C-numbers like C36000, used across ASTM specifications.

EN (European) — CW-numbers like CW614N, from the EN 12164/12165 series.

BS (British) — CZ-numbers like CZ121, still common in legacy drawings.

JIS (Japanese) — C-series like C3604, standard across Asian OEMs.

IS (Indian) — IS 319 and related Indian standards.

ISO symbol — the chemistry itself, like CuZn39Pb3: copper, zinc, lead.
