European foreword
This document (prEN 12164:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 “Copper and
copper alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12164:2016.
In comparison with EN 12164:2016, the following significant technical changes were made:
a) Introduction in 6.6 of eddy current test parameters;
b) Introduction of 6.7 Internal inclusion;
c) Shape and size of test pieces for Tensile test modified;
d) Modified the definition of diameter or width across-flats at 6.5.1;
e) Added a new Figure for straightness at 6.5.3 and modified values in Table 18;
f) Introduction in the chemical composition Tables of a footnote to explain the meaning of elements for
which no upper and lower limits are defined;
g) Deleted alloys groups in Table 7;
h) CuZn4Si4MnP (CW245E) and CuZn9Si4MnP (CW246E) added in the new Table 3 and new Table 10;
i) Chemical composition of CuZn39Pb3 (CW614N), CuZn40Pb2 (CW617N), CuZn35Pb1,5AlAs
(CW625N) and CuZn33Pb1,5AlAs (CW626N) modified in Table 7;
j) Added a new alloy CuZn40Pb1 (CW627N) in Table 7 and Table 14;
