Overview
EN 573-3:2019+A1:2022/prA2 - published by CEN - is the European standard that specifies the chemical composition limits and the form of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys (Part 3: Chemical composition and form of products). It sets the permitted elemental limits for wrought alloys and defines product forms (sheet, plate, extruded, wire, forgings, foil, etc.) for compliance, and aligns composition limits with those registered by the Aluminium Association (USA). The prA2 document is a draft amendment (May 2023) submitted for enquiry and proposes updates to alloy tables and application tables.
Key topics and requirements
- Chemical composition limits for wrought aluminium alloys (established element-by-element limits for alloy series such as 6000 and 7000).
- Form of products: classification of product forms (forgings, extruded profiles, sheet/plate, wire, foil, welded closures, tube stock, etc.) associated with each alloy designation.
- Alloy updates in prA2: draft amendment adds a 6000‑series alloy (EN AW‑6035) and modifies a 7000‑series alloy (EN AW‑7108A), together with corresponding updates to application/form tables (Table A.6 and A.7).
- Harmonisation: chemical limits are stated to be identical to the Aluminium Association registrations for corresponding alloys, ensuring international consistency.
- Normative structure: the standard is part of the EN 573 series covering wrought aluminium - Part 3 focusses on composition and product form specifically.
Applications - practical value
- Material specification and procurement: Use EN 573-3 to specify alloy grade and permitted chemistry when ordering wrought aluminium products.
- Quality control and inspection: Labs and inspection teams reference the standard when verifying chemical composition and correct product form.
- Product design and engineering: Designers and metallurgists select appropriate wrought alloys based on allowed chemistries and available product forms.
- Manufacturing and forming: Process planners and fabricators use the product-form tables (sheet, extrusions, forgings, wire, foil) to determine eligible alloys for production routes and end-use applications.
- Regulatory compliance and certification: Manufacturers and certification bodies rely on the standard for conformity with CEN/CENELEC rules and national adoptions.
Who should use this standard
- Aluminium product manufacturers and foundries
- Material suppliers and distributors
- Design engineers and specification writers
- Testing laboratories and QA/QC personnel
- Procurement teams, regulatory bodies and conformity assessors
Related standards
- Other parts of the EN 573 series (covering broader aspects of wrought aluminium) and national adoptions of EN 573-3 by CEN members. The draft amendment process means national standards bodies will incorporate approved changes under CEN rules.
