heating applications This document has been prepared within the framework of two mandates given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the
EU Construction Products Directive (CPD) 89/106/EEC and the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC. For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this document. In comparison with the first edition of EN 1057:1996, the following significant technical changes were made: harmonization of the standard to the Construction Product Directive (CPD) and to the Pressure Equipment
Directive (PED); introduction of two new definitions: "permanently marked" and "durably marked"; updating of the definitions regarding soldering, brazing, fusion welding, braze welding and mean diameter; introduction of five new items in Clause 5 "Ordering information" regarding options on tests and documents; due to the process of harmonization to the CPD, introduction of three new characteristics in Clause 6 "Material characteristics" inherent to copper material which are not to be tested; modification of Table 3 "Standardized dimensions"; simplification of Table 6 "Quantitative and qualitative specification for carbon residues": Suppression of the residual and potential carbon and application of the thresholds to the total carbon; text in Clause 8 "Evaluation of conformity" added due to the process of harmonization to the CPD; for permanent and durable markings, specification of their applicability in 12.1 "Marking"; modification of the table in Annex A, introduction of new diameters and wall thicknesses; due to the process of harmonization to the CPD and PED introduction of Annexes ZA and ZB. This is one of a series of European Standards for copper and copper alloy tubes. Other products are specified as

implemented, this European Standard will have added to it a special Annex (Z/EAS) to incorporate the provi-sions of the EC mandate M/136 and a) will no longer be applicable. This European Standard provides the basis for the assessment of a manufacturer's production process for products manufactured in accordance with this European Standard. The assessment could be based on initial and continuing surveillance of the factory production control system which could be concurrent with an assessment of the
manufacturer's quality management system against EN ISO 9001. Regulatory marking and the means by which regulatory marking is applied, is dealt with in Annex ZA. Tubes having an outside diameter of not more than 108 mm are suitable for soldering, brazing or assembling by
mechanical compression, collared, push-fit or press fittings. For tubes having an outside diameter of more than 108 mm, assembly should preferably be performed by welding or braze welding. Reference can be made to this European Standard for tubes intended for other applications or for the
transportation of other fluids. In such cases special requirements (for specifications, conditioning or delivery
conditions) can be agreed between the purchaser and the supplier. NOTE Appropriate precautions should be taken if applying insulating/protecting material because it could be detrimental to the copper tube. SIST EN 1057:2006

6 Material characteristics 6.1 Safety in case of fire – Reaction to fire Copper tubes according to this European Standard, i.e. without plastics covering, do not require to be tested for reaction to fire (i.e. products/materials of class A.1 according to Commission Decision 96/603/EC, as amended 2000/605/EC). 6.2 Properties at high temperature The mechanical properties of copper at temperatures encountered in heating networks are not reduced
significantly; for example, from ambient temperature up to 120 ûC, it is not necessary to include the maximum
admissible stress in pressure calculations. 6.3 Weldability The suitability for welding is characteristic of the copper grade used for products in accordance with this European Standard, which is assured by control of the material composition. NOTE Cu-DHP copper can be readily welded to produce a strong, homogeneous structure. Nevertheless, the advice of the manufacturer and welding professionals should be sought in order to ensure the correct selection of welding process, design and workmanship, taking into account thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion, to achieve the highest quality results. 7 Requirements 7.1 Composition The composition shall conform to the following requirements: Cu + Ag: min. 99,90 %; 0,015 % ≤ P ≤ 0,040 %. This copper grade is designated either Cu-DHP or CW024A. 7.2 Mechanical properties The tensile strength and elongation shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1.

In cases of dispute these dimensions shall be measured at a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C. 7.3.2 Nominal dimensions The standardized nominal outside diameters and nominal wall thicknesses are given in Table 3 (or Table A.1). The lengths recommended are indicated in Table 10. NOTE 1 These standardized dimensions have been selected from those used on the European market at the time of estab-lishment of the present European Standard. NOTE 2 A limited number of other dimensions have been listed in Annex A for reconsideration at a future revision of this European Standard. NOTE 3 CEN/TC 133 has defined the recommended R marked dimensions as a step towards rationalization aiming for not more than three wall thickness for each diameter, and a restricted number of diameters. NOTE 4 For reference purposes, if DN designation of size for components of a piping system is required, it can be calculated for tubes to this European Standard by: Nominal outside diameter (d) — 2 × nominal wall thickness (e). DN is a numerical
designation of size, which is common to all components in a piping system. It is a convenient round number for reference
purposes and is only loosely related to the manufacturing dimensions (see EN ISO 6708). SIST EN 1057:2006

8 Evaluation of conformity 8.1 General The conformity of copper tube to the requirements of this standard and with the stated values shall be
demonstrated by: initial type testing; factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. 8.2 Type testing 8.2.1 Initial type testing An initial type test is the complete set of tests or other procedures, determining the performance of samples of products representative of the product type. Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity with this European Standard. Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this European Standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity etc.) may be taken into
account. In addition, initial type testing shall be performed at the beginning of a new method of production (where this may affect the stated properties). SIST EN 1057:2006
concerned; weldability — copper grade Cu-DHP can be readily welded. 8.2.2 Sampling, testing and conformity criteria 8.2.2.1 Sampling Initial type testing shall be performed on representative samples of the copper tube production to be placed on the market. 8.2.2.2 Testing and conformity criteria Copper tubes shall be tested for conformity to the requirements listed in Clause 7 in accordance with the relevant methods given in Clause 10. The results of all type tests shall be recorded and held by the manufacturer for at least 5 years after the end of pro-duction of the product for which the ITT is representative. 8.3 Factory production control (FPC) 8.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform to the declared performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of written procedures (works' manual), regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials, equipment, the production process and the product. All elements, requirements and provisions of FPC adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a
systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures. This production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required
component characteristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control therefore brings together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the conformity of the product with its technical specifications. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials, processes, machines and manufacturing equipment and finished products, including material properties of the products, and by making use of the results thus obtained. An FPC system conforming with the requirements of EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the requirements of this standard, is considered to satisfy the above requirements. SIST EN 1057:2006
8.3.2 General FPC requirements The FPC system shall fulfil the requirements as described in the following clauses of EN ISO 9001:2000, where applicable: 4.2 except 4.2.1 a); 5.1 e), 5.5.1, 5.5.2; Clause 6; 7.1 except 7.1 a), 7.2.3 c), 7.4, 7.5, 7.6; 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.3, 8.5.2. NOTE The FPC system may be part of a Quality Management system, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000. The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the production tolerances allow for the copper tube
performances to be in conformity with the declared values derived from initial type testing. The characteristics and the means of verification are given in Clauses 7 and 10 and the minimum frequency of
testing is given in Table 8. The manufacturer shall record the results of the tests specified above. These records shall at least include the
following information: identification of the copper tube tested; date of testing; test results. 8.3.3 Manufacturer-specific FPC system requirements 8.3.3.1 Personnel The responsibility, authority and the relationship between personnel that manages, performs or verifies work
affecting product conformity, shall be defined. This applies in particular to per
