Tin and tin alloys - Pewter and pewterware - Part 2: Pewterware

This Part of EN 611 specifies the requirements for the fabrication, sampling, analysis and marking of pewterware. It does not cover articles manufactured from materials other than pewter which have been coated or clad with pewter. Note: The requirements for pewter alloys are specified in EN 611-2.

Zinn und Zinnlegierungen - Zinnlegierungen und Zinngerät - Teil 2: Zinngerät

Dieser Teil der EN 611 legt die Anforderungen an Herstellung, Probenahme, Analyse und Kennzeichnung von Zinngerät fest. Er gilt nicht für Produkte, die aus anderen Werkstoffen als Zinnlegierungen hergestellt jedoch mit Zinnlegierungen beschichtet oder plattiert wunden. Anmerkung: Die Anforderungen an Zinnlegierungen sind in EN 611-1 festgelegt.

Etain et alliages d'étain - Etain pour la fabrication d'objets en étain et objets en étain - Partie 2: Objets en étain

La présente partie de l'EN 611 spécifie les prescriptions relatives à la fabrication, à l'échantillonnage, à l'analyse et au marquage des objets en étain. Elle ne s'applique pas aux articles fabriqués à partir de matériaux autres que l'étain, recouverts ou plaqués d'étain. Note: les prescriptions concernant les alliages d'étain sont spécifiées dans l'EN 611-1.

Overview

EN 611-2:1996 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for pewterware fabrication. This standard focuses on tin and tin alloys used specifically in the manufacture of pewterware items. It covers the essential processes including the sampling, analysis, fabrication, and marking of pewter products to ensure consistency, safety, and quality. Importantly, EN 611-2:1996 excludes items made from other materials that are merely coated or clad with pewter; it targets products made principally from pewter alloys.

The requirements for pewter alloys themselves-defining the composition and properties-are detailed separately in Part 1 of EN 611. This Part 2 standard ensures that pewterware items are produced and marked to meet regulatory and consumer expectations across European markets.

Key Topics

• Fabrication Requirements
  EN 611-2 defines clear guidelines for the manufacturing process of pewterware, ensuring reliable material integrity and product performance.

• Sampling and Analysis
  The standard mandates specific procedures for sample collection and laboratory analysis of pewter products to confirm compliance with alloy composition and quality parameters.

• Marking and Identification
  Proper marking of pewterware is integral for traceability, consumer information, and regulatory adherence. The standard outlines marking obligations to ensure products are clearly identifiable.

• Exclusions
  Articles made from non-pewter base materials that are only coated or clad with pewter are not covered under EN 611-2, highlighting the standard’s focus on authentic pewterware.

Applications

EN 611-2:1996 is widely applied across industries involved in the production and certification of pewter objects, including:

• Manufacturing of Decorative and Functional Pewter Items
  This includes kitchenware, tableware, trophies, and ornamental objects made primarily from pewter alloys.

• Quality Assurance and Compliance
  Producers use EN 611-2 to maintain consistent standards, ensuring products meet legal and safety requirements for European markets.

• Material Verification
  Testing laboratories and quality inspectors rely on the sampling and analysis methods outlined in the standard to validate pewterware quality.

• Consumer Protection
  The standard’s marking requirements help consumers identify authentic pewter items, differentiating them from plated or imitation products.

Related Standards

• EN 611-1 – Specifies the chemical composition and physical properties of tin and tin alloys used in pewter manufacture.
• EN ISO 1478 – General specifications for metal alloys, which may complement pewter standard requirements.
• EN 1652 – For lead-free alloys, which can be relevant for some pewter alloy variants.
• European REACH Regulation – Governs the use of chemicals in manufacturing, relevant for alloy compositions.

Implementing EN 611-2:1996 enables manufacturers and stakeholders in the pewter industry to produce high-quality, standardized pewterware that conforms to European regulatory frameworks and meets market expectations. This ensures reliable performance, durability, and consumer trust in pewter products.
