Foreword This document (EN 15800:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 378 "Project Committee – Springs", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2009. This European Standard has been prepared by the initiative of the Association of the European Spring Federation ESF and is based on the German Standard DIN 2095 "Helical springs made of round wire — Specification for cold coiled compression springs", which is known and used in many European countries. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
1 Scope This European Standard applies to cylindrical helical compression springs made of round spring wire. Cold coiled compression springs can be made with wire up to about 16 mm diameter. (See also EN 13906-1). Cylindrical helical springs made of round wire from European Standard materials are subject to the limiting values in Table 1: Table 1

5 Requirements 5.1 Coiling direction Compression springs are generally made with right-hand coiling, or with alternating right-hand and left-hand coiling for nested spring assemblies; in this case the outer spring is usually right-hand coiled. If left-hand coiling for springs is required, this shall be obvious from the note "left-hand coiled" which shall appear in drawings or enquiries and order documents. See Annex B. 5.2 Spring ends The spring ends whereby the spring force is transmitted to the connecting components shall be designed so that the deflection of the spring is as nearly axial as possible in every position of the spring. This is generally achieved by reducing the pitch of one finishing coil at each end. To obtain adequate bearing surfaces perpendicular to the spring axis, the wire ends are ground in accordance with Figure 1. If grinding of the spring ends is found to be inexpedient, the spring should be made according to Figure 2, that means without ground wire ends. In all cases the type of finish for the spring ends shall be stated in one of the contractual documents: descriptive, drawings or enquiries and order documents. See Annex B. If unground spring ends are acceptable for the particular use concerned, e.g. when the compression spri
