CEN/TC 132/WG 14 - General support

This European Standard specifies the material requirements and testing procedures applicable to wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys intended for use in the production of pressure equipment.
This European Standard covers:
-   the products forms, grades and tempers of wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys which may be used for such applications together with data for wrought and cast alloys over their permissible working temperature ranges;
-   the permissible alloys/ tempers covered by this are those given in Table A.1 and in B.1 for wrought alloys and in Table A.2 and in B.2 for castings;
-   the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical property limits and tolerances on form and dimensions by reference to the appropriate European standards for the relevant wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloys, and
-   additional requirements which are specific to pressure equipment applications.
It applies to hot-rolled plate, cold-rolled sheet/ strip/ circles, extruded or extruded and cold drawn rod/bar, tube, extruded open / hollow profiles, forgings and castings, by this standard are those given in Table A.1 for wrought alloys and in Table A.2 for castings.
It is the sole objective of this standard to cover materials only for pressure purposes and it excludes any elements of fabrication or fabrication methods for pressure equipment; such information can be found in the relevant standards listed in the "Bibliography" section.

This European Standard specifies requirements for castings and for semi-finished products of aluminium and aluminium alloys for load-bearing structural construction works (Construction works covers building and civil engineering works).
It also specifies requirements for evaluation of conformity and the test methods to be used.
It does not apply to products after machining or joining operations (e.g. bolting, welding of elements), which can be found in other European Standards, e.g. prEN 1090-1.

It is the sole objective of this standard to cover materials only for pressure purposes and it excludes any elements of fabrication or fabrication methods for pressure equipment; such information can be found in the relevant standards listed in the 'Bibliography' section.

This European Standard specifies requirements for conformity assessment of performance characteristics for semi-finished structural aluminium construction products that are used on load bearing structural construction works, covering both building and civil engineering works.
This European standard specifies product characteristics, testing assessment, sampling methods and conformity assessment covering manufacturing characteristics.
This European standard covers semi-finished products which may not fit into structural products without any further transformation (e.g. cutting, drilling).
This European standard does not apply to products which are produced from semi-finished products and after transformation are used on particular structural construction products, covered by EN 1090-1.
This European standard does not apply to construction products that are produced with joining operations (e.g. bolting, welding), covered by EN 1090-1.

This European Standard specifies particular requirements and testing procedures applicable to wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys intended for the production of pressure equipment. It includes: - the products forms, grades and tempers of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys which may be used for such application, together with their permissible working temperature range; - the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical property limits and tolerance on form and dimensions by reference to the applicable European Standard for wrought aluminum and aluminium and aluminium alloys; - additional requirements specific to pressure vessel application It applies to hot-rolled or cold-rolled sheet, strip, plate, circle, extruded or extruded and cold drawn rod/bar and tube, extruded open and hollow sections, and forgings.

This European Standard gives guidelines for standard writers who draft standards dealing with aluminium products or dealing with semi finished products which are intended to be used for aluminium products. It applies to all applications of aluminium products
It provides a structure on how to identify and consider environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts of aluminium products throughout their life cycle, when writing standards taking into account the specific properties of aluminium and specific aspects of the life cycle of aluminium products.
It gives guidance on how the life cycle of aluminium products should be taken into account, considering the provisions given in EN ISO 14044.
It also explains cases where restrictions on aluminium products, which are motivated by environmental considerations, are not appropriate and gives guidance on how to avoid unnecessary requirements.
This European Standard does not include health and safety aspects related to the production, use or recycling of aluminium products.
