(Amendment)Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Coil coated sheet and strip for general applications - Specifications
General Information
- Abstract
This document specifies the particular requirements for wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip for general applications. This product is generally supplied in thicknesses up to 3,0 mm.
It is applicable to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated by the coil coating process both with liquid as well as with powder paints, either in the final width or slit afterwards, and to sheet obtained from such strip.
It does not apply to coil coated sheet and strip used for special applications such as cans, closures and lids which are dealt with in separate EN 541.

Overview
SIST EN 1396:2023/kFprA1:2026 is an international standard from SIST that establishes specifications for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip for general applications. Covering thicknesses up to 3.0 mm, this document applies specifically to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated through the coil coating process with both liquid and powder paints. The standard covers products supplied in final width or slit afterwards, as well as sheet produced from such strip. Importantly, this standard excludes coil coated sheet and strip for special applications, such as those for cans, closures, and lids (see EN 541 for these applications).
This standard ensures clarity in material designation, production processes, quality control, and mechanical property requirements for coil coated aluminium sheet and strip, supporting both manufacturers and end-users in various sectors.
Key Topics
SIST EN 1396:2023/kFprA1:2026 focuses on several crucial areas for aluminium coil coated products:
- Scope and Applicability: Defines material and product forms - coil coated sheets and strips (general applications, < 3.0 mm thick).
- Ordering Information: Specifies requirements for designating alloys, particularly addressing recycled content variants and clarifying documentation to facilitate accurate supply.
- Production and Manufacturing: Outlines flexibility in manufacturing routes, while enabling customers to specify process restrictions if needed.
- Quality Control: Details standards and additional inspections to be performed before shipment, ensuring compliance and customer-specific requirements.
- Mechanical Properties: Describes how values are set-either per standard or per order-and includes special guidance for recycled content variant alloys.
- Updates and Amendments: Includes specific amendments covering alloy variations with recycled content, applicable tempers, and additional property data for certain alloys.
Applications
Coil coated aluminium and aluminium alloy sheet and strip, as standardized in SIST EN 1396:2023/kFprA1:2026, offer extensive value in practical applications:
- Building and Construction: Used for cladding, facades, roofing, and decorative panels owing to durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic finishes.
- General Industrial Applications: Suited for the manufacture of panels, casings, and enclosures where pre-coated sheet material streamlines production.
- Automotive and Transport: Supports lightweight structures and exterior parts by providing pre-coated materials with consistent mechanical properties.
- Appliances and Electrical Goods: Employed in the production of appliance panels and casings, benefiting from uniform coatings and easy fabrication.
- Signage and Displays: Ensures consistent quality and color, supporting both indoor and outdoor visibility and longevity.
By offering detailed specifications, the standard enables manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users to achieve expected quality, performance, and compliance in their products.
Related Standards
To support comprehensive compliance and interoperability, consider the following related standards:
- EN 573-3: Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Chemical composition and form of wrought products, referenced for alloy designation.
- EN 541: Specifications for coil coated sheet and strip for special applications (e.g., cans, lids, closures), not covered by this standard.
- EN 15088: Additional requirements for aluminium products in construction.
- EN 485 Series: Mechanical properties and testing methods for wrought aluminium and its alloys.
- EN ISO 9001: Quality management systems applicable to aluminium product manufacturing.
SIST EN 1396:2023/kFprA1:2026 is a technical baseline for professionals seeking consistent, high-quality coil coated aluminium sheet and strip, supporting modern construction, manufacturing, and sustainable material sourcing through clear specification and updated requirements.
