3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.

4 Chemical composition limits
The chemical composition of aluminium and aluminium alloys is specified in percentage by mass in
Tables 1 to 8. Limits of impurities are expressed as a maximum; limits of alloying elements shown as a
range. Aluminium is specified as a minimum for unalloyed aluminium, and as a remainder for
aluminium alloys.
The chemical composition of internationally registered wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium
alloys not listed in this document can be found in Teal sheet [1].
Analysis shall be made for elements which are specified, for example Pb, Sn, Bi, Sb, Zr.
5 Writing rules
5.1 Standard limits for alloying elements and impurities are expressed in percentage by mass to the
following decimal places:
— less than 0,001 % 0,000X;
— 0,001 % but less than 0,01 % 0,00X;
— 0,01 % but less than 0,10 %:
— unalloyed aluminium made by a refining process 0,0XX;
— others 0,0X;
— 0,10 % to 0,55 % 0,XX;
— over 0,55 % 0,X; X,X; XX,X.
Exception: combined Si + Fe limits for 1xxx designations shall be expressed as 0,XX or 1,XX.
5.2 The aluminium content for unalloyed aluminium made by a refining process is the difference
between 100,00 % and the sum of all other metallic elements present in amounts of 0,001 0 % or more
each, expressed to the third decimal place before determining the sum, which is rounded to the second
decimal place before subtracting.
For unalloyed aluminium not made by a refining process, the aluminium content is the difference
between 100,00 % and the sum of all other metallic elements present in amounts of 0,010 % or more
each expressed to the second decimal place before determining the sum.
6 Alloy designations
The numerical designation systems used in Teal sheets and European Standards for wrought aluminium
alloys are identical. As specified in EN 573-1 [3] the prefix EN AW- is added.
The alternative chemical symbol based alloy designation system shall be based on EN 573-2.
Both the numerical and the chemical symbol based designations are indicated in Tables 1 to 8.
The International numerical system is the preferred one. The chemical symbol based designations are
indicated for reference only.
7 Sequence of elements
Standard limits for alloying elements and impurities are expressed in the following sequence: silicon,
iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, nickel, zinc, titanium, gallium, va
