mass after immersion in a phosphoric acid based solution without prior acid treatment.
— Method 2: Assessment of quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings by measurement of the loss of
mass after immersion in a phosphoric acid based solution with prior acid treatment.
Method 1 is applicable to anodic oxidation coatings intended for decorative or protective purposes or
where resistance to staining is important.
Method 2 is applicable to anodic oxidation coatings intended for outdoor architectural purposes. For
less severe applications, Method 1 can be more suitable.
The methods are not applicable to the following:
— hard-type anodic oxidation coatings which normally are not sealed;
— anodic oxidation coatings that have been sealed only in dichromate solutions;
— anodic oxidation coatings produced in chromic acid solutions;
— anodic oxidation coatings that have undergone treatment to render them hydrophobic.
NOTE 1 The methods assess the quality of hydrothermal sealing applied to anodized aluminium. They can be
appropriate for other sealing methods.
NOTE 2 The methods are destructive and can serve as reference methods in case of doubt or dispute
regarding the results of the test for loss of absorptive power (see ISO 2143) or the measurement of admittance
(see ISO 2931).

This European Standard specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of copper and copper alloys. The sampling procedures and test methods for the verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard are also specified.
This European Standard is applicable to:
a)   copper alloy ingots intended to be remelted for later processing (e.g. castings); and
b)   copper and copper alloy castings which are intended for use without subsequent working other than machining.
Recommended practice for the ordering and supply of castings is included in Annex A. Optional supplementary inspection procedures for ingots and castings are included in Annex B.
NOTE   Ingots are not suitable for pressure equipment applications.

This European Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions relating to armour plates in weldable aluminium alloy with a nominal thickness between 10 mm and 70 mm.
For thickness below 10 mm, other specifications may be applied.

This European Standard establishes temper designation for all forms of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys and to continuously cast aluminium alloy drawing stock and strip intended to be wrought.

This European Standard specifies tolerances on dimensions and form of extruded precision profiles, in alloys EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063 manufactured with and without a thermal barrier (see Figures 1 and 2). It applies to extruded products supplied without further surface treatment. Precision profiles covered in this standard are distinguished from extruded profiles for general applications covered in EN 755-9 by the following characteristics:
-   they are mainly for architectural applications;
-   they meet more stringent requirements regarding the surface condition of visible surfaces;
-   the maximum diameter of the circumscribing circle CD is 350 mm;
-   they are made to closer tolerances on dimensions and form.
In the case of profiles which, due to the complexity of their design, are difficult to manufacture and specify, then special agreements between supplier and purchaser may need to be reached.
NOTE   The effect of the thermal barrier material on the dimensional tolerances is covered by this document although the actual thermal barrier material itself is not (see EN 14024).

This European Standard specifies the mechanical property limits resulting from tensile testing applicable to aluminium and aluminium alloy cold drawn rod/bar and tube. Technical conditions for inspection and delivery, including product and testing requirements, are specified in EN 754-1. Temper designations are defined in EN 515. The chemical composition limits for these materials are given in EN 573-3.
