Overview - EN 13599:2014 (Copper plate, sheet and strip for electrical purposes)

EN 13599:2014 is a European Standard published by CEN that defines requirements for copper and copper alloys supplied as plate, sheet and strip for electrical purposes. It covers products with thicknesses from 0.05 mm up to and including 25 mm and widths from 10 mm up to and including 1 250 mm. The standard specifies composition limits, mechanical and electrical properties (electrical resistivity/conductivity), dimensional and form tolerances, sampling procedures and test methods to verify conformity.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Material designation and condition
    • Uses standardized material symbols or numbers (ISO/EN designation systems).
    • Material condition codes: M (as manufactured), H… (hardness-specified), R… (tensile-specified).
  • Composition and properties
    • Chemical composition limits for copper and copper alloys intended for electrical applications.
    • Mandatory mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness) for specified material conditions.
    • Electrical properties (resistivity/ conductivity) requirements appropriate to electrical conductors.
  • Dimensions and tolerances
    • Tolerances on thickness, width, length and edgewise curvature; rules for strip coils (inside/outside diameter, mass).
  • Testing and verification
    • Sampling procedures and test methods are specified, including:
      • Chemical analysis
      • Tensile testing (EN ISO 6892‑1)
      • Vickers hardness (EN ISO 6507‑1)
      • Bend test (EN ISO 7438)
      • Electrical resistivity
      • Hydrogen embrittlement testing (EN ISO 2626)
    • Rules for declaration of conformity and inspection documentation (EN 1655, EN 10204).

Applications and users

  • Intended for copper products that require controlled electrical conductivity and mechanical performance:
    • Busbars, connectors, electrical contacts, laminated strips, switchgear components.
  • Primary users:
    • Manufacturers of copper plate, sheet and strip
    • Design engineers and specifiers in power distribution and electrical equipment
    • Procurement professionals placing orders (ordering and product designation rules are detailed)
    • Test laboratories validating conformity to EN 13599
    • Regulatory bodies and standards committees

Related standards

  • EN 1652 (general copper plate/sheet), EN 1655 (declarations of conformity)
  • Other electrical-copper product standards: EN 13600, EN 13601, EN 13602, EN 13604, EN 13605
  • Test standards referenced: EN ISO 2626, EN ISO 6892‑1, EN ISO 6507‑1, EN ISO 7438

EN 13599 is essential when specifying or supplying copper plate, sheet and strip where electrical performance, traceable material designation and standardized testing are required. Keywords: EN 13599, copper plate sheet strip, electrical copper, copper alloys, electrical conductivity, tensile strength, hardness, sampling procedures.

mandatory hardness requirements; R… Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product
with mandatory tensile strength and elongation requirements. NOTE Some R. material conditions in this European Standard apply to products which also have mandatory 0,2 % proof strength requirements. Exact conversion between 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 European Standard shall consist of: — denomination (Plate, Sheet or Strip); — number of this European Standard (EN 13599); — material designation, either symbol or number (see Table 1); — material condition designation (see Table 2); SIST EN 13599:2014
