Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Coil coated sheet and strip for general applications - Specifications
This document specifies the particular requirements for wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip for general applications. This product is generally supplied in thicknesses up to 3,0 mm.
It is applicable to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated by the coil coating process both with liquid as well as with powder paints, either in the final width or slit afterwards, and to sheet obtained from such strip.
It does not apply to coil coated sheet and strip used for special applications such as cans, closures and lids which are dealt with in separate EN 541.

Ta dokument določa posebne zahteve za kovan aluminij in aluminijeve zlitine v obliki kolutno prevlečenih pločevin in trakov za splošne aplikacije. Ta izdelek se običajno dobavlja v debelinah do 3,0 mm.
Uporablja se za hladno valjane aluminijaste in aluminijeve zlitine trakove, prevlečene s procesom kolutnega premazovanja, tako s tekočimi kot s prašnimi barvami, bodisi v končni širini ali kasneje razrezane, ter za pločevine pridobljene iz takih trakov.
Ne velja za kolutno prevlečene pločevine in trakove, ki se uporabljajo za posebne aplikacije, kot so pločevinke, zapirala in pokrovi, ki so obravnavani v ločenem standardu EN 541.

Overview
EN 1396:2023/prA1 is a European standard issued by CEN that specifies the requirements for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip intended for general applications. This standard is applicable to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated via coil coating processes using either liquid or powder paints. The standard covers products supplied in thicknesses up to 3.0 mm, whether provided at full width or slit to size, as well as sheets produced from such strip. It is not applicable to coil coated sheet and strip for specialized uses such as cans, closures, or lids, which are addressed in other standards, such as EN 541.
The purpose of EN 1396:2023/prA1 is to unify and clarify the technical and quality requirements for manufacturers and users, enhancing product consistency while supporting sustainable material utilization, including variants differing in recycled content.
Key Topics
- Product Scope: Applies to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloys in coil coated form intended for general, non-specialized applications.
- Surface Coatings: Covers both liquid and powder paint coil coating processes, supporting a range of decorative and protective finishes.
- Ordering Information: Introduces specific requirements including designation of recycled content variants, mechanical properties, and references to the standard on documentation.
- Production Processes: Allows manufacturing processes to be independently selected unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, providing flexibility in production.
- Quality Control: Mandates all required inspections and tests before shipment, and provides for additional inspections as specified by the order.
- Mechanical Properties: Standardizes mechanical property requirements for relevant alloys and tempers, including those differing in recycled content only.
- Recycled Content: Recognizes alloy variations solely based on recycled content, aligning with sustainability and circular economy goals.
Applications
This standard is essential for a broad range of industries where aluminium coil coated sheets and strips are utilized, including:
- Construction: Building facades, cladding, roofing, and architectural applications benefit from the durability and design flexibility of coated aluminium.
- Transport: Used in body panels and structural components owing to lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.
- HVAC and Appliances: Frequent use in ventilation, heating, and cooling products, as well as home appliance panels.
- General Industrial Use: Equipment housings, enclosures, and various fabricated products take advantage of the protective and aesthetic finishes.
- Sustainable Manufacturing: Producers looking to specify recycled content can do so within the standardized framework, supporting environmental targets and green procurement demands.
Related Standards
- EN 541: Applies specifically to coil coated sheet and strip for specialized packaging applications such as cans, closures, and lids.
- EN 573-3: Defines chemical composition and designation systems for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys, basis for alloy naming in EN 1396.
- EN AW Series: Specific alloy designations (e.g., EN AW-3105, EN AW-4115, EN AW-5050) referenced for mechanical properties.
- ISO 9001: Frequently used as a reference for quality management systems in aluminium processing industries.
- Sustainability Standards: Integration with principles of circular economy and environmental responsibility via recognized recycled content.
By adopting EN 1396:2023/prA1, manufacturers and end-users can ensure compliance with best practices for aluminium coil coated sheet and strip, benefiting from consistency, sustainability options, and clear specifications in international trade and manufacturing.
