Overview
EN 14121:2009 (CEN) defines the technical conditions for inspection and delivery, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of aluminium and aluminium-alloy sheet, strip and plate intended for electrotechnical applications. The standard applies to products with thicknesses over 0,20 mm up to and including 150 mm and is primarily used for components such as bus bars and other conductors that require a guaranteed minimum electrical conductivity.
This revision (superseding EN 14121:2003) was prepared by CEN/TC 132 and harmonises product specifications, test methods and ordering information to support consistent procurement and quality control across Europe.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: wrought aluminium sheet, strip and plate for electrotechnical use; thickness range 0,20–150 mm.
- Inspection and delivery requirements: details on the information to be included in orders (product form, alloy designation, temper, dimensions, tolerances, quantity, inspection documents and special requirements).
- Material properties: mechanical properties and electrical conductivity requirements are specified and referenced to alloy/temper combinations.
- Manufacturing and quality control: production processes are left to the manufacturer unless otherwise specified; the manufacturer is responsible for in‑house testing and inspection prior to shipment.
- Test methods referenced: tensile testing (EN 10002-1), electrical conductivity determination (documented procedures; EN 2004-1 induction methods for some products), chemical composition (EN 573-3) and dimensional tolerances (EN 485-3 / EN 485-4).
- Surface and defects: product shall be free from defects prejudicial to use; minor surface imperfections that do not affect suitability are permitted.
- Administration: inspection documents per EN 10204, product marking and packing guidance, and arbitration procedures for disputes.
Applications
EN 14121:2009 is intended for procurement, specification and quality assurance of aluminium materials used in electrical distribution and power equipment. Typical practical uses include:
- Bus bars and bus systems
- Conductive plates and connectors in switchgear and distribution equipment
- Sheet or strip used where minimum electrical conductivity is a contractual requirement
Benefits for users and purchasers:
- Clear, standardised ordering information to avoid ambiguity in contracts
- Defined test methods and acceptance criteria to support consistent quality and traceability
- Alignment with complementary standards for chemistry, dims/tolerances and testing
Related Standards
- EN 573-3 - Chemical composition and form of wrought products
- EN 485-3 / EN 485-4 - Tolerances on dimensions and form for hot-rolled and cold-rolled products
- EN 515 - Temper designations for wrought aluminium
- EN 10002-1 - Tensile testing at ambient temperature
- EN 2004-1 - Determination of electrical conductivity (induction methods)
- EN 10204 - Types of inspection documents
Adopting EN 14121:2009 in specifications ensures compatibility with established European test methods and helps buyers and manufacturers agree unambiguous requirements for electrotechnical aluminium products.
