European foreword
This document (EN 4500-005:2026) has been prepared by ASD-STAN.
After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this document has
received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of
ASD-STAN, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This document shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text
or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2027, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by April 2027.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document will supersede EN 4500-005:2024.
EN 4500-005:2024:
— addition of the missing text in the scope;
— addition of the lines 4.3 “Further intended processing” and 5.2 “Dimensional standard” in the body
of the document and in Annex D;
— addition of introductory sentences to Table 1 in Annex C to highlight the fact that the table is a
normative element and that all the documents that it lists can be applied;
— overall editorial modifications to give clarity on the normative or informative nature of the
references made to other documents or annexes;
— restructuring of the document and simplification of the template to achieve a single continuous
table.
Introduction
This document is part of the series of EN metallic material standards for aerospace applications.
The general organization of this series is described in EN 4258.
The EN 4500 series (Aerospace series — Metallic materials — Rules for drafting and presentation of
material standards) is composed by the following documents:

— General rules EN 4500-001;
— Specific rules for aluminium, aluminium alloys and EN 4500-002;
magnesium alloys
— Specific rules for heat-resisting alloys EN 4500-003;
— Specific rules for titanium and titanium alloys EN 4500-004;
— Specific rules for steels EN 4500-005;
— Specific rules for filler metals for welding EN 4500-002 to EN 4500-005;
— Specific rules for filler metals for brazing EN 4500-006.
Basis for the drafting of all European standards is CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations — Part 3:
Principles and rules for the structure and drafting of CEN and CENELEC documents.
