Overview

EN 1652:1997 (issued by CEN) specifies requirements for copper and copper alloys in the form of plate, sheet, strip and circles for general purposes. The standard defines the required composition, property requirements, and tolerances on dimensions and form. It also covers sampling procedures, methods of test for verification of conformity, and the delivery conditions suppliers and purchasers should use.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Material composition: Specifies the chemical make-up accepted for copper and copper alloys covered by the standard (limits and designation principles).
  • Property requirements: Defines essential mechanical and physical characteristics that the delivered products must meet (e.g., strength and ductility requirements as applicable).
  • Dimensional and form tolerances: Sets tolerances for thickness, width, length and flatness/shape to ensure interchangeability and fit for general-purpose applications.
  • Sampling procedures: Describes how to take representative samples from production batches for testing and conformity assessment.
  • Methods of test: Lists the standardized test methods to verify composition and properties (laboratory testing procedures, hardness or mechanical tests where applicable).
  • Delivery conditions: Covers marking, packaging, documentation and agreed delivery state between manufacturer and purchaser to ensure traceability and compliance.

Practical applications and users

EN 1652:1997 is intended for use where consistent, verified copper and copper-alloy plate, sheet, strip and circles are required for general-purpose manufacturing and fabrication. Typical users include:

  • Manufacturers and suppliers of copper mill products who must certify product conformity and prepare delivery documentation.
  • Procurement and quality engineers specifying material requirements for components and assemblies.
  • Testing laboratories and inspection bodies performing sampling and conformity verification against the standard.
  • Designers and fabricators needing standardized material properties and tolerances for metalworking, forming and joining operations.
  • Regulatory and compliance teams referencing CEN standards in contracts and technical specifications.

Related standards

  • EN 1652:1997 is part of the family of CEN material standards; users often reference complementary EN standards for specific test methods, product grades or finish specifications. For procurement and conformity processes, consult relevant CEN and national adoption documents.
