It does not apply to lacquered, painted, embossed or laminated products.
Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Folien - Teil 1: Technische Lieferbedingungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Technischen Lieferbedingungen für Folien aus Aluminium und Aluminium-Knetlegierungen fest. Sie gilt für einen Dickenbereich von 6 µm bis 200 µm.
Sie gilt nicht für lackierte, gefärbte, geprägte oder kaschierte Erzeugnisse.
ANMERKUNG Einige in der vorliegenden Norm aufgeführte Erzeugnisse können Gegenstand eines Patents oder von Patentanmeldungen sein. Ihre Auflistung in dieser Norm bedeutet aber keinesfalls, dass dadurch eine Lizenzübertragung unter diesem Patentrecht erfolgt.
CEN/TC 132 bekräftigt seine Vorgehensweise, dass in dem Fall, wenn ein Patentinhaber sich weigert, für genormte Erzeugnisse Lizenzen unter angemessenen und nicht diskriminierenden Bedingungen zu erteilen, dieses Erzeugnis aus der entsprechenden Norm entfernt werden muss.

Overview
EN 546-1:2006 - published by CEN - defines the technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought aluminium and aluminium-alloy foil. The standard covers foil in the gauge range 6 µm to 200 µm and explicitly excludes lacquered, painted, embossed or laminated products. It sets out ordering information, production and quality-control expectations, sampling and test procedures, conformity requirements, marking and packaging rules for aluminium foil supplied as coils or reels.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and product types: Applies to converter foil, consumer/household foil (typically 10–24 µm) and container foil (35–200 µm) within the stated gauge range.
- Ordering information: Purchaser must specify alloy designation, single- or double-rolled form, temper (per EN 515), thickness, width/tolerances, coil dimensions, core type, quantity, lubrication and any special requirements.
- Quality control: Manufacturer must maintain an inspection plan (recommended at least equivalent to EN ISO 9001) detailing tests, frequency and records. Inspections are normally performed on inspection lots defined in EN 12258-1.
- Chemical and mechanical requirements: Chemical composition must conform to EN 573-3; mechanical properties are covered in EN 546-2.
- Sampling and testing:
- Chemical sampling at casting per EN 14361; referee analysis per EN 14242 if disputed.
- Mechanical specimens oriented longitudinally; tensile testing per EN 546-2.
- Sampling frequency: typically one specimen per inspection lot; if agreed, one specimen per 10 000 kg (or part thereof); single coils >10 000 kg yield one specimen per coil.
- Retest rules: if an initial mechanical test fails and no procedural error is found, two further specimens are tested - both must pass for the lot to be accepted.
- Dimension and surface checks: Tolerances per EN 546-3; visual surface examination without magnification unless otherwise agreed.
- Conformity, marking and packaging: Supplier shall provide conformity statements on request; marking and packaging only as agreed in the order and must not affect end use.
Applications
EN 546-1:2006 is practical for:
- Specifying aluminium foil in procurement contracts and purchase orders.
- Establishing inspection and acceptance criteria for foil producers and converters.
- Quality assurance for food packaging, container manufacture and household foil production.
- Defining sampling and testing regimes for third‑party labs and internal QA teams.
