    EN 12060:1997 outlines standardized sampling techniques to obtain representative samples from batches of zinc and zinc alloys. This ensures that the analytical results reflect the true composition of the materials.

  • Applicability to Zinc and Zinc Alloys
    The standard applies exclusively to pure zinc and its alloys, including those combined with other metals. It facilitates precise sampling needed for chemical composition analysis.

  • Reference to Related Standards
    The sampling methods conform to requirements specified in EN 1179 and prEN 1774, harmonizing testing protocols within European metal standards.

  • Restrictions on Reproduction
    As noted, unauthorized reproduction or partial use of this standard is prohibited, emphasizing the importance of proper documentation handling.

Applications

  • Quality Control in Manufacturing
    Manufacturers of zinc and zinc alloy products utilize EN 12060:1997 to design consistent sampling plans that enable reliable quality assurance testing.

  • Material Certification
    Accurate sampling ensures zinc shipments meet contractual and regulatory composition requirements, critical for certification processes.

  • Metallurgical Testing
    Laboratories analyzing zinc materials rely on this standard to prepare samples that provide valid and reproducible chemical analysis results.

  • Industry Compliance
    Compliance with EN 12060:1997 aids producers and suppliers in meeting European and international standards, supporting trade and market acceptance.

Related Standards

  • EN 1179
    Specifies the general requirements for zinc and its alloys, including chemical composition and mechanical properties.

  • prEN 1774
    Provides additional guidance on related zinc alloy specifications and testing protocols.

  • Other Zinc Standards
    Various national and international standards complement EN 12060:1997 by addressing alloy grading, processing, and environmental considerations.
