General Information
Overview
EN 573-5:2007 - part of the CEN suite on Aluminium and aluminium alloys - defines a standardized codification system for semifinished wrought products used in ordering information and technical drawings. It provides a concise, unambiguous pattern to describe product type, material, temper and key dimensions so suppliers, designers and purchasers can communicate product requirements clearly. The standard applies only to specified wrought semifinished products (see EN 573-3) and explicitly excludes castings, cast forging stock, rolling ingots, extrusion billets and ingots for remelting.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Codification structure: each code contains a Description Block and an Identification Block. The Identification Block is split into the European Standard Number Block and the Individual Item Block (separated by a leading hyphen).
- Identification sequence: the Individual Item Block typically follows the sequence material designation – temper designation – parameters (dimensions or drawing reference).
- Source designations: material names should use the designations in EN 573-3, and temper codes follow EN 515.
- Dimension rules: all dimensions are specified in millimetres (foil/finstock thicknesses in micrometres). For coiled or random-length products only cross-sectional dimensions are codified; fixed lengths are given in mm or indicated by “RL” (random length).
- Form codes: standard short codes (examples in the standard) include RCT (rectangular), SQU (square), HEX (hexagonal), RND (round), plus tube notations (OD/ID × wall × length).
- Use of drawings: where irregular cross-sections or special profiles exist, a drawing reference may be used within the Individual Item Block.
- Examples and tables: the standard supplies tabulated codification examples for extruded/drawn, rolled, wire, forging stock and welded tubes.
- Limitations: codification is for ordering/identification only; it does not replace technical delivery and inspection conditions in product-specific standards. The document also alerts to possible patent-right issues.
Applications and users
- Practical uses: concise product identifiers on technical drawings, part lists, procurement documents, CAD/ERP item records, tenders and contracts.
- Typical users: design engineers, drafters, purchasing and supply chain professionals, production planners, quality managers, aluminium product manufacturers and distributors.
- Benefits: faster, error‑resistant ordering; consistent cross‑company communication; streamlined BOM and drawing notation.
