Other copper products are specified as follows: EN 13599, Copper and copper alloys — Copper plate, sheet and strip for electrical purposes EN 13601, Copper and copper alloys — Copper rod, bar and wire for general electrical purposes EN 13602, Copper and copper alloys — Drawn, round copper wire for the manufacture of electrical conductors EN 13604, Copper and copper alloys — Semiconductor devices, electronic and vacuum products made from high conductivity copper EN 13605, Copper and copper alloys — Copper profiles and profiled wire for electrical purposes According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, SIST EN 13600:2013
Material condition for the product as cold worked without specified mechanical properties; H. Material condition designated by the minimum value of hardness requirement for the product with mandatory
hardness requirements; R. Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product with
mandatory tensile strength, 0,2 % proof strength and elongation requirements. Products in the H. condition may be specified to Vickers or Brinell hardness. The material condition designation H. is the same for both hardness test methods. Exact conversion between the material conditions designated H. and R. is not possible. Material condition is designated by only one of the above designations. 4.3 Product The product designation provides a standardised pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal description of a product can be conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international level with regard to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard. The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard. The product designation for products to this standard shall consist of: a) denomination (tube); SIST EN 13600:2013

NOTE
For round tubes, upon agreement between purchaser and supplier, the inside diameter can be used as an alternative to the wall thickness. 3) square or rectangular tube: across-flats dimension(s) × wall thickness × length [either as manufactured length (ML) or fixed length (FL) (see 6.5.4)]. It is recommended that the product designation, as described in 4.3, is used for items b) to f). In addition, the purchaser shall also state on the enquiry and order any of the following, if required: g) test method to be used for the measurement of hardness, i.e. Vickers or Brinell (see 8.3); h) whether special tolerances on dimensions and form are required; i) whether special surface conditions are required (see 6.7); j) whether deburring is required (see 6.5.4.1); k) whether a declaration of conformity is required (see 9.1); l) whether an inspection document is required, and if so, which type (see 9.2); m) whether there are any special requirements for marking, packaging or labelling (see Clause 10).
