Accounting policies
This interim report was prepared in accordance with IFRS, applying IAS 34,
Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting and valuation policies were
applied as in the most recent annual report, with the exception of certain new
standards and interpretations, which are applied from 1 January 2009.

Revised IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements entails that items recognized
directly in equity that do not affect transactions with owners must now be
recognized in the income statement under the heading Other comprehensive income.
Sandvik has chosen to present other comprehensive income as a component in the
income statement and not as a separate statement.

on 4 May 2010.
