See EN 442-2:

4 Pretreatment and paint
The pretreatment, paint processes and other surface finishing (chrome, polish etc.) used, shall provide a
protective coating to all external surfaces in contact with the air which shall as minimum requirement:
- give protection against corrosion in normal storage and installation conditions, as demonstrated by
absence of surface corrosion after 100 h humidity test according to EN 442-2 Annex L.
- for paint only, be resistant to minor impact damage according to ISO 2409. The test result shall be within
the first three steps (0-1-2) of table 1 of ISO 2409: 2007

The surface treatments shall not contain any chemical substances the use of which is not allowed in

building products
The compliance with the relevant Directive shall be stated by the manufacturer of the radiator/convector.

5 Dimensional tolerances and pressure tightness
The dimensional tolerances shall not be greater than those in the manufacturer's drawings. In any case
they shall not be greater than those given in table 3 of EN 442-2:

5.1 Material specification and wall thickness of wet heating surface
The following values for material thickness for steel radiators, tubular radiators and finned tube convectors
shall be measured before pressing or fabrication. Wall thickness of cast-iron, cast aluminium or extruded
aluminium radiators refers to the nominal drawing dimensions minus all admissible tolerances.

5.1.1 Steel radiators (radiators manufactured from steel sheet or coil)
The wet heating surface materials of steel radiators shall be low carbon steel sheet, which is free from
scale or rust and which complies with EN 10130 grade DC 01 and with EN 10131.
The thickness of the steel used for wet surfaces shall not be less than 1,11 mm.
The compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.

5.1.2 Cast-iron radiators
Cast-iron radiators shall be manufactured from grey cast-iron complying with ISO 185.
The wet wall thickness shall not be less than 2,5 mm.
The minimum wall thickness shall be ensured by periodical controls of the casting equipment and daily
random production checks.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.

5.1.3 Cast aluminium radiators
2)
Cast aluminium alloy radiators shall be manufactured from alloy EN AB 46000 and EN AB46100 :

The wet wall thickness shall not be less than 1,5 mm.
The minimum wall thickness shall be ensured by periodical controls of the casting equipment and daily
random production checks.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.

5.1.4 Extruded aluminium radiators
Extruded aluminium alloy radiators shall be manufactured from wrought aluminium alloy EN AW-6060 of
the EN 573-3 corresponding to the alloy AIMgSi.
The wet wall thickness shall not be less than 1,1 mm.
The minimum wall thickness shall be ensured by periodical controls of the extruder and daily random
production checks.
Compliance with this requirement shall be verified by measurement.

5.1.5 Tubular radiators
The material specification and gauge of tubes used in manufacture will be dependent on the tube size and
profile and on the process of assembly.
They shall nevertheless be sufficient to satisfy the genera
