Mg is the basis. 
 According to GOST 14957-76 the mass fraction of other impurities is ≤ 0.30%. "Other impurities" include impurities whose permissible content limits are not indicated (≤), as well as impurities not included in the table, the content of which is not determined. Beryllium is not determined, but is introduced by calculation.
