SIST EN 4199-006:2009 is the Slovenian adoption of the European standard EN 4199-006:2006 for aerospace bonding straps. It specifies the required characteristics, testing, designation, marking and packaging for round braid copper conductors used in aircraft bonding straps, in tin-plated or nickel-plated versions.

Manufacturers, quality teams and buyers use SIST EN 4199-006:2009 to choose the right conductor class, check construction and finish, and verify how the product is identified and delivered.

What does SIST EN 4199-006:2009 specify?

SIST EN 4199-006:2009 specifies the product standard for round braid copper conductors for aircraft bonding straps. It covers two plated versions, one intended for service up to 150 °C and one up to 260 °C, and it is written to be used with EN 4199-001 and with terminal lugs according to EN 3373-004.

The document is organized into Scope, Normative references, Terms and definitions, Required characteristics, Quality test, Periodic tests, Designation, Marking and Packaging. In practice, that means it tells the reader what the product is, what it must be made like, how it is checked, and how it is identified and supplied.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 4199-006:2009?

SIST EN 4199-006:2009 focuses on the conductor class, construction, materials, finish, test control and product identification. The most important points are in Clause 4, with testing and supply rules in Clauses 5 to 9.

Temperature classes and intended use

Clause 4.1 defines two classes: Class T for tin-plated conductors and Class N for nickel-plated conductors. For the user, this means the plating is not only a finish - it is part of the product choice, because it links the conductor to the expected service temperature range.

Construction, dimensions and mass

Clause 4.2 requires the configuration, dimensions and mass to follow Figure 1 and Tables 1 and 2. In practice, the buyer or inspector checks the braid construction against the declared code section and verifies size, weight and electrical resistance instead of relying on a general description alone.

Material and finish

Clause 4.3 specifies copper wire of the Cu ETP grade and gives the required plating materials for tin and nickel finishes. This matters because the conductor must be made from the correct base copper and finished to the stated coating type before it can be accepted for aircraft bonding use.

Quality and periodic testing

Clause 5 sends quality testing to EN 4199-001, and Clause 6 does the same for acceptance tests and maintenance of qualification. That means this part does not replace the broader test regime for bonding straps - it ties the product to the shared aerospace test framework.

Designation, marking and packaging

Clause 7 gives the product designation structure, Clause 8 requires the manufacturer to be identified by colour coded wire, and Clause 9 requires packaging that protects the product in transport and carries the product standard designation, manufacturer identification and conductor length. For practical purchasing and receiving, this is the information that lets users order, trace and store the correct item.

What terms does SIST EN 4199-006:2009 define?

Clause 3 applies the terms and definitions from EN 4199-001, so the terminology is shared with the main bonding strap specification.

• Class T - the tin-plated version of the conductor, used where the lower temperature class is sufficient.
• Class N - the nickel-plated version of the conductor, used where higher temperature capability is needed.
• Cu ETP - the copper grade required for the single copper wire used in the conductor.
• Quality test - the production-related testing route referenced from EN 4199-001.
• Periodic tests - the longer-cycle tests used to maintain qualification of the product.
• Designation - the coded product identification structure used for ordering and traceability.
• Marking - the identification applied by the manufacturer, including the colour coded wire requirement.

Who uses SIST EN 4199-006:2009?

SIST EN 4199-006:2009 is used by aerospace manufacturers, bonding strap suppliers, test laboratories, and quality and procurement teams. They use it to specify the conductor construction, check compliance of plated copper braid, select matching terminal lugs, and control acceptance, marking and packaging for aircraft use.

What changed in SIST EN 4199-006:2009 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 4199-006:2009 is identical to EN 4199-006:2006.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 4199-006:2009?

SIST EN 4199-006:2009 relies on several referenced standards that supply the base material, matching hardware and test framework.

• EN 4199-001 - the technical specification for aerospace bonding straps; it supplies the shared terms, test approach and related product rules.
• EN 3373-004 - the terminal lug product standard used together with this conductor.
• EN 13602 - the copper wire standard used for the Cu ETP material requirement.
• ASTM B 355 - the nickel-coated copper wire specification used for the nickel plating requirement.

What does the SIST EN 4199-006:2009 document contain?

Clause 4 gives the main product definition: a figure for the braid arrangement and tables that set out the code sections, braid composition, size, mass and electrical resistance. Clause 7 provides a designation example, which is useful when creating purchase descriptions and part numbers.

Clauses 5 and 6 point the reader to the test framework in EN 4199-001, so the document works as a product standard rather than a full test method standard. Clauses 8 and 9 cover marking and packaging, which are the parts most often checked at delivery, receiving inspection and traceability control.
