Overview

SIST EN 13920-5:2004 is a European Standard developed by CEN focused on aluminium and aluminium alloys scrap. Specifically, it addresses scrap consisting of two or more wrought aluminium alloys from the same series. This standard defines the characteristics, chemical composition, and metal yield requirements for new aluminium scrap formed from a mixture of these alloys. It ensures quality and consistency in aluminium recycling, providing a framework for suppliers and purchasers in the aluminium scrap industry.

The standard is part five of a comprehensive series under EN 13920, which covers various types of aluminium scrap used in recycling processes. The document supports sustainable practices by facilitating the proper classification and utilization of mixed alloy scrap materials.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application
  EN 13920-5 applies to scrap made of two or more wrought aluminium alloys within the same alloy series. Examples include cuttings of sheets, strips, tubes, extruded profiles, and defective products. It is primarily concerned with new scrap generated from manufacturing processes or selected old scrap.

• Chemical Composition
  The standard specifies detailed chemical composition limits based on alloy series, such as the 2xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series. These tables ensure that the scrap conforms to the expected alloy contents, facilitating predictable recycling outcomes. Aluminum content is calculated as the remainder after accounting for other elements.

• Characteristics and Quality Requirements
  Important requirements include:

  • Maximum 5% by mass of contaminants such as oil, grease, dust, plastics, or other non-metallic materials.
  • Absence of foreign metallic materials to maintain purity.
  • Metal yield must be at least 88%, measured according to EN 13920-1.

• Classification and Compliance
  The classification process, sampling, testing, and management of non-conformities follow the procedures defined in EN 13920-1. Non-conforming materials must be reported, with purchaser agreement required before shipment.

• Ordering Information
  To facilitate trade and quality control, orders must specify scrap category, mass, delivery period, any deviations, and alloy composition references. Additional details on scrap origin, size, and surface condition may be included.

Applications

SIST EN 13920-5:2004 is essential for:

• Aluminium Recycling Industry
  Enables recyclers to classify and process mixed wrought alloy scrap accurately, ensuring high-quality recycled aluminium products.

• Manufacturing and Fabrication
  Manufacturers generating offcuts and defective products composed of similar alloy series can categorize and supply scrap under this standard to recyclers.

• Material Procurement and Trading
  Buyers and sellers in the aluminium scrap market use this standard to define scrap quality, chemical properties, and purity requirements, supporting transparent and reliable transactions.

• Environmental Sustainability
  By standardizing scrap characterization, the document promotes efficient resource use and reduces waste in aluminium production cycles.
