Overview
EN 13920-11:2003 (CEN) covers scrap consisting of aluminium–copper radiators and defines the characteristics and chemical composition required to allow high-copper material to be used as an alloying feedstock in aluminium production and recycling. Typical items include prepared radiators from vehicles, refrigerators or industrial equipment. The part sits within the EN 13920 series addressing scrap classification, sampling and testing.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose: Specifies requirements for aluminium–copper radiator scrap to ensure suitability for reuse as alloying material in aluminium alloys.
- Physical and cleanliness requirements: Scrap shall consist of non-oxidized pieces free from moisture, oil, grease, dust, plastic, iron, brass and other foreign material. Maximum piece size is limited (500 × 500 × 250 mm).
- Chemical composition: The standard provides composition limits and classification criteria. The aluminium content is determined by calculation: "The aluminium content is the difference between 100 % and the total of all the other elements present with values no less than 0,010 % rounded to the second decimal (before the calculation is made)."
- Ordering information: Purchasers and suppliers should agree defined ordering details, including scrap category, gross mass, delivery period, and any deviations or special size/surface requirements.
- Non-conformities and classification: Procedures for sampling, testing, treatment of non-conforming consignments and arbitration are carried out in accordance with EN 13920-1.
Applications
This standard is practical for stakeholders across the aluminium value chain:
- Recyclers and secondary smelters: To verify that aluminium–copper radiator scrap meets feedstock quality for alloy production.
- Scrap traders and brokers: To consign and describe radiator scrap consistently for cross-border trade within CEN member states.
- Automotive and appliance dismantlers: To prepare and grade recovered radiators so material meets acceptance criteria for recycling streams.
- Quality and compliance teams: To implement sampling, testing and acceptance rules that reduce impurities and improve melt performance.
Benefits of following EN 13920-11:2003 include clearer commercial terms, improved melt quality through controlled impurity levels, and enhanced reuse of copper-bearing aluminium scrap as a deliberate alloying resource.
Related Standards
- EN 13920-1 - General requirements, sampling and tests for aluminium scrap (classification procedures and handling of non-conformities).
- prEN 12258-3:2000 - Terms and definitions for scrap (applies for consistent terminology).
For purchasing and contract specification, reference EN 13920-11:2003 plus EN 13920-1 to ensure complete coverage of sampling, testing and arbitration procedures when handling aluminium–copper radiator scrap.
