This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 21 March 2015 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United

Introduction
CEN/TC 133 “Copper and copper alloys” was established in 1988 to prepare and maintain standards in the field of
unwrought, wrought and cast products made from copper and copper alloys. Its responsibilities included
developing, defining, specifying and giving guidance on, as appropriate, material compositions, designations,
terminology, dimensions and tolerances, mechanical and physical characteristics, conditions of delivery and
methods of testing peculiar to copper and copper alloys.
During the development of standards for copper and copper alloy products, the experts realized the necessity and
seized the opportunity:
a) to coordinate and in some cases also to rationalize the composition limits which already existed for the various
product forms;
b) to establish unique, new and identifiably European designations for copper and copper alloys, including a
numerical option to be particularly convenient for computerized handling;
c) to confirm, clarify and redefine where necessary, the terminology which already existed in common usage, at
the international level or in customs nomenclature.
CEN/TC 133 decided, in view of the new form of presentation and new parameters for the description and provision
of information on copper and copper alloy products, to prepare and publish the present consolidation and summary
of essential details.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides a summary of material designations, compositions and the product forms in
which they are available, for coppers and copper alloys standardized in European Standards by CEN/TC 133
“Copper and copper alloys”.
