Overview

EN 755-1:2016 - “Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Extruded rod/bar, tube and profiles - Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery” - is a CEN European Standard that specifies the technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought, extruded aluminium and aluminium alloy rod/bar, tube and profiles for general engineering applications. Published June 2016 (approved 11 April 2016), it supersedes EN 755-1:2008 and defines what must be agreed between purchaser and supplier when ordering and accepting extruded aluminium products.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope & exclusions: Applies to extruded rod/bar, tube and profiles for general engineering; does not apply to forging stock (EN 603), extruded precision profiles in EN AW‑6060/6063 (EN 12020), products delivered in coils (EN 13957), or coiled tubes cut to length.
• Ordering information: The order document must specify product form (rod/bar, tube - seamless or porthole, profile), alloy reference (EN 573-3), temper (EN 515), intended use (e.g., subsequent anodizing), dimensions, tolerances, quantity, inspection documents and any special requirements (marking, surface finish, packaging, additional tests).
• Requirements: Covers production responsibility, manufacturer’s quality control, chemical composition limits, mechanical properties, freedom from surface defects, dimensional and form tolerances, stress‑corrosion cracking resistance, and additional agreed requirements.
• Test procedures: Defines sampling and test methods - chemical analysis, tensile testing, Brinell hardness, dimensional measurement, surface finish assessment, and stress‑corrosion cracking tests (including references to EN ISO/ISO and ASTM methods where applicable).
• Inspection documents & marking: Specifies required documentation (e.g., inspection certificates per EN 10204), marking and packaging expectations.
• Annexes: Includes normative Annex A (location of test pieces for different shapes) and Annex B addressing stress‑corrosion cracking resistance considerations (e.g., for EN AW‑7075).

Applications and who uses it

• Manufacturers of extruded aluminium rod, bar, tube and profiles use EN 755-1 to define production, testing and delivery obligations.
• Purchasers, procurement teams and specifiers rely on it to place clear orders and ensure delivered materials meet agreed chemical, mechanical and dimensional requirements.
• Quality and inspection engineers use the standard to perform sampling, testing and acceptance procedures.
• Design and fabrication engineers reference the standard to ensure supplied extruded products are suitable for downstream treatments (e.g., anodizing) and general engineering uses.

Related standards

• EN 573‑3 (chemical composition), EN 515 (temper designations), EN 755‑2..9 (mechanical properties and tolerances for bars, tubes, profiles), EN 10204 (inspection documents), EN ISO 6892‑1 (tensile testing), EN ISO 6506‑1 (Brinell hardness).
