SIST EN 2076-1:2001
(Main)Aerospace series - Aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings - Technical specification - Part 1: General requirements
- Abstract
This standard defines the general requirements for the manufacture, inspection and testing of aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings.
Particular requirements applicable to ingots and castings are defined in EN 2076-2 and EN 2076-3 respectively.
Unless otherwise specified on the drawing, order or inspection schedule the reference to EN 2076 only defines one quality level which is quality level 3 in table 1 of EN 2076-3.

SIST EN 2076-1:2001 is the SIST version of the aerospace series standard for aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings. It sets the general requirements for manufacture, inspection and testing so that suppliers, inspectors and buyers use the same technical basis for these materials.
What does SIST EN 2076-1:2001 specify?
SIST EN 2076-1:2001 specifies the general requirements for aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings used in the aerospace series. It is Part 1 of the EN 2076 technical specification, and the product-specific requirements are split into EN 2076-2 for ingots and EN 2076-3 for castings.
For practical use, this means the standard gives the common framework, while the linked parts provide the details needed for a specific product type. That helps users know whether they need only the general rules or also the product part that matches the material they are ordering or checking.
A key point in the scope is the default quality reference: unless the drawing, order or inspection schedule says otherwise, a reference to EN 2076 means quality level 3 in table 1 of EN 2076-3. In practice, users should state any different quality level explicitly in procurement or inspection documents.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 2076-1:2001?
SIST EN 2076-1:2001 focuses on how aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings are to be made, inspected and tested within the EN 2076 family. The main practical message is that general requirements come from Part 1, while the detailed product requirements come from the relevant companion part.
General manufacture, inspection and testing
The standard sets the general requirements for manufacture, inspection and testing. For a supplier or foundry, this provides the base rules for producing the material and controlling its acceptance. For a buyer or quality manager, it gives a common reference for reviewing the production route and the test basis.
Separate product coverage for ingots and castings
SIST EN 2076-1:2001 separates the family into ingots and castings, with EN 2076-2 covering ingots and EN 2076-3 covering castings. This matters because the actual technical details depend on the product form, so the correct companion part must be used with Part 1.
Default quality level
Unless otherwise specified on the drawing, order or inspection schedule, a reference to EN 2076 means quality level 3 in table 1 of EN 2076-3. In practice, this gives users a default acceptance basis, but it also means special requirements must be written into the order or inspection schedule if another level is needed.
Control through technical documents
The scope makes the drawing, order and inspection schedule part of the control structure. That means the purchaser and supplier should use those documents to define any special conditions, instead of relying only on the family reference EN 2076.
What terms does SIST EN 2076-1:2001 define?
Ingots are the cast forms of aluminium or magnesium alloy intended as material feedstock for later processing.
Castings are finished or semi-finished parts made by pouring the alloy into a mould.
Quality level 3 is the default quality reference named for EN 2076 when no other level is stated in the drawing, order or inspection schedule.
Drawing is the technical document used to state product-specific requirements and any deviation from the default EN 2076 reference.
Order is the purchasing document where the buyer can specify the required quality level or other special conditions.
Inspection schedule is the agreed control document that sets out how the product will be checked and accepted.
Who uses SIST EN 2076-1:2001?
SIST EN 2076-1:2001 is used by aerospace material suppliers, foundries, purchasing teams, quality managers and inspection personnel. They use it when specifying, making, checking or buying aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings.
It is also relevant to organizations that need a shared acceptance basis for aerospace series metal materials. In practice, that means it supports contract review, product definition, inspection planning and incoming acceptance.
What changed in SIST EN 2076-1:2001 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 2076-1:2001 is identified as identical to EN 2076-1:1989.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 2076-1:2001?
EN 2076-2 is the companion part for ingots and provides the particular requirements for that product form.
EN 2076-3 is the companion part for castings and provides the particular requirements for that product form, including the referenced quality level 3 in table 1.
What does the SIST EN 2076-1:2001 document contain?
SIST EN 2076-1:2001 contains the general technical framework for aluminium and magnesium alloy ingots and castings in the aerospace series. Its main job is to define the common requirements for manufacture, inspection and testing and to direct users to the correct product-specific part.
The document also establishes how the EN 2076 reference is interpreted when no special instruction is given on the drawing, order or inspection schedule. For users, that makes the standard useful in purchasing, quality planning and acceptance decisions without repeating the full product requirements in this part.
