Copper and copper alloys - Drawn, round copper wire for the manufacture of electrical conductors

This European Standard specifies the composition, property requirements including electrical properties, and dimensional tolerances for drawn round copper wire from 0,04 mm up to and including 5,0 mm for the manufacture of electrical conductors intended for the production of bare and insulated cables and flexible cords.
This standard covers plain or tinned, single or multiline, annealed or hard drawn wire. It does not include wire for enamelling (winding wire, magnet wire), for electronic application and for contact wire for electric traction.
The sampling procedures, the test methods for verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard and the delivery conditions are also specified.
NOTE   Due to the thermal and/or mechanical treatment involved in cablemaking processes, the properties of conductors in the final cable or cord differ from those of the original wire supplied. Requirements for conductors taken from cable or cord are given in appropriate cable standards.

Overview

EN 13602:2013 - published by CEN - defines requirements for drawn, round copper wire for the manufacture of electrical conductors. It applies to wire with diameters from 0.04 mm up to and including 5.0 mm intended for bare and insulated cables and flexible cords. The standard covers plain or tinned copper wire, in single or multiline, and annealed or hard-drawn conditions. It specifies composition, electrical and mechanical property requirements, dimensional tolerances, sampling and test methods, and delivery conditions for conformity verification.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Material composition: Specifies acceptable copper grades (e.g., high-conductivity types) and composition limits for electrical applications.
• Mechanical properties: Defines tensile and ductility requirements for annealed and hard-drawn wire (tabled by material condition).
• Electrical properties: Sets resistivity/conductivity requirements at 20 °C and references standard test methods for measurement.
• Dimensions and tolerances: Covers nominal diameters (0.04–5.0 mm) and permissible tolerances including deviation from circular form.
• Surface condition and coatings: Addresses plain and tinned wire (coating grades) and references methods for assessing tin coatings.
• Sampling and test methods: Includes procedures for chemical analysis, tensile testing, ductility (bend/wrap) tests, and electrical resistivity testing.
• Ordering and designation: Defines a standardized product designation (material, condition, surface, dimensions, form of delivery) and recommended ordering information.
• Delivery documentation: Requirements for inspection records, declarations of conformity and marking/packaging.

Relevant normative references used in EN 13602:2013 include EN ISO 6892-1 (tensile testing), IEC 60468 (resistivity measurement) and EN 13603 (assessment of tin coatings).

Practical Applications

• Ensures consistent copper wire specifications for manufacturers producing bare and insulated cables, flexible cords, and multi-wire assemblies.
• Used by wire & cable manufacturers to source wire that meets electrical conductivity and mechanical durability needs during cablemaking.
• Guides quality control labs and inspectors in sampling and test procedures to verify conformity.
• Useful for procurement specialists and OEMs specifying conductor materials for electrical systems.

Note: EN 13602:2013 excludes enamelled (winding/magnet) wire, electronic application wire, and contact wire for electric traction. Also, conductor properties may change during cablemaking; requirements for conductors extracted from finished cables are specified in relevant cable standards.

Who should use this standard

• Cable and flexible cord manufacturers
• Copper wire producers and tinners
• Quality assurance and testing laboratories
• Electrical engineers and specifiers
• Purchasing and compliance teams in electrical supply chains
