CEN/TC 190/WG 1 - Technical conditions of delivery and cast iron designation

This European Standard specifies a material designation system for magnesium and magnesium alloys either by numbers or by symbols for castings including anodes and ingots intended for remelting.
The designation system by numbers is only applicable to standardized magnesium and magnesium alloys (see 2.1).
The designation system by symbols is applicable to
a)   standardized magnesium and magnesium alloys (see 2.1);
b)   non-standardized magnesium and magnesium alloys (see 2.2).
NOTE 1   The standardized designation by symbols does not necessarily imply that the material is standardized.
NOTE 2   Magnesium and magnesium alloys for aerospace applications referred to in European standards prepared by AECMA (fr: Association Européenne des Constructeurs de Matériel Aérospatial) have different designations.

This European Standard specifies the additional technical delivery conditions for castings made from all cast iron materials.
This European Standard applies to iron castings produced in sand or permanent moulds or by centrifugal casting, continuous casting or investment casting.

This European Standard establishes a material designation system either by symbols or by numbers for cast iron.
The designation system by symbols is applicable to:
a)   standardized cast iron materials (see 2.1);
b)   non-standardized cast iron materials (see 2.2).
The designation system by numbers is only applicable to standardized cast iron materials (see 2.1).
NOTE   The use of a designation system by symbols does not necessarily imply that the material is standardized.

This part of EN 1559 specifies the general technical delivery conditions for castings made from cast metallic materials except copper alloy castings.
This part of EN 1559 is not applicable to metallic castings for further reprocessing such as forging ingots and continuously cast billets and blooms.
NOTE 1   Technical delivery conditions for copper alloy castings are specified in EN 1982.
NOTE 2   Additional technical delivery condition requirements which are specific to particular materials are specified in the following parts of this standard series: EN 1559-2 for cast steel; EN 1559-3 for cast iron; EN 1559-4 for cast aluminium; EN 1559-5 for cast magnesium; EN 1559-6 for cast zinc.

This European Standard specifies - a designation system for magnesium and magnesium alloys by numbers; - a designation system for magnesium and magnesium alloys by symbols. This standard applies to magnesium and magnesium alloys for ingots intended for remelting and to magnesium and magnesium alloys for castings, including anodes.

This part of EN 1559 applies to castings made from all cast iron materials produced in sand or permanent moulds or by centrifugal casting or investment casting. This part specifies the additional technical delivery conditions for castings made from all cast iron materials. This part does not apply to iron products which are the subjects of separate European product standards e.g. iron pipes, fittings and accessories for water pipelines which are subjects of EN 545 and EN 598, prEN 877-1, prEN 877-2, and EN 969.

This part of prEN 1559 specifies the general technical delivery conditions for castings made from cast metallic materials except copper alloy castings. Additional technical delivery condition requirements which are specific to particular materials are specified in the following parts of this standard series: prEN 1559-2 for cat steel; prEN 1559-3 for cast iron; prEN 1559-4 for cast aluminium; prEN 1559-5 for cast magnesium.

This European Standard establishes a material designation system either by symbols or by numbers for cast iron. The designation system by symbols is applicable to a) standardized cast iron materials (see 3.1); b) non-standardizedcast iron materials (see 3.2). The designation system by numbers is only applicable to standardized cast iron materials (see 3.1). NOTE: The standardized designation by symbols does not necessarily imply that the materials is standardized.
