Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 requested CEN/TC 133/WG 3 "Copper
tubes (installation and industrial)" to revise the following document:
EN 1971:1998, Copper and copper alloys — Eddy current test for tubes
This is one of two parts of the standard for the eddy current test for measuring defects on seamless round
copper and copper alloy tubes. The other part is:
EN 1971-2, Copper and copper alloys — Eddy current test for measuring defects on seamless round copper
and copper alloy tubes — Part 2: Test with an internal probe on the inner surface
In comparison with the first edition of EN 1971:1998, the following significant technical changes were made:
 split of and extension in two parts;
 modification of Scope – introduction of the choice of test method with encircling coil or internal probe.

Introduction
The eddy current test described in this European Standard has the objective of detecting during production
potential leaks and serious defects in seamless round copper and copper alloy tubes.
The eddy current test is able to detect material inhomogeneities and their positions throughout the length of
tubes. The eddy current signals of material inhomogeneities are compared with reference signals of artificially
produced test defects. It is possible to identify these inhomogeneities on the inner and outer surfaces as well
as within the tube wall.
Since the distribution of eddy currents decreases as the distance from the test coil increases, the amplitude of
defect
