Euronorm Standard List: Copper Materials

The creation of the EEC (European Economic Community) has made it necessary to establish common standards named "European Norms" (EN), therefore standardizing the common language across Europe. Since 1988 a new series of 'mandatory' European standards (EN) has been created, to replace national standards, such as BS, DIN, SS and NF, throughout 18 countries of Western Europe.

European copper standards are unified through a system developed by the Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN). The European standard specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of different castings and ingots of copper and its alloys.

For more information on the EN designation system see Introduction to the Euronorm Standard Designation System.

The list of standards below cover among other things:

  • A range of copper alloys used for general use and for multiple applications
  • Copper alloys used in various electrical applications
  • Numerous alloys for the production of rods, sheets and tubing for general and specialized applications
