How do standards help resolve disputes about how scrap was graded?
Short answer: A written specification gives both parties something objective to point to, so when a buyer downgrades a load you can compare what they say it contains against the definition of the grade you agreed, ask for the reason and evidence such as photographs, and raise the issue calmly, which works far better than an argument based on opinion.

The definition of the grade is the same for both parties, so the argument becomes about whether the load meets it.
Evidence matters
Photographs of the load before and after weighing, and the docket, make it easier to show what was delivered.
Agree the standard up front
Stating which specification applies when you agree the price removes most later arguments.
