Overview - EN 12890:2000 (Founding - Patterns, pattern equipment and coreboxes)
EN 12890:2000 is a CEN standard that defines the requirements for patterns, pattern equipment and coreboxes used in the production of sand moulds and sand cores for metal casting. The standard focuses on design, manufacture and functional characteristics of tooling used in sand foundry processes. It explicitly excludes equipment for lost-pattern processes, permanent moulds and die‑casting dies and does not cover ancillary fasteners or small components (e.g., screws, dowels).
Key topics and requirements
This standard sets out essential topics a foundry or tooling supplier must address when producing sand-mould tooling:
- Scope of tooling covered - patterns, pattern equipment and coreboxes intended for sand moulds and sand cores.
- Functional requirements - fit, alignment, and interchangeability considerations necessary for consistent sand mould production.
- Materials and workmanship - general expectations for materials and manufacture to ensure durability and repeatability in production environments.
- Dimensional and design criteria - guidance on features that affect moulding performance (e.g., parting lines, draft, core location), without prescribing specific dimensions.
- Marking and documentation - requirements for identification, drawings and records to support production, maintenance and traceability.
- Exclusions - explicit exclusions for lost patterns, permanent moulds, die casting dies and ancillary items, clarifying the standard’s focused scope.
Practical applications and users
EN 12890:2000 is directly applicable in the metal casting and foundry sector where sand moulding is used. Typical users include:
- Foundries producing sand-mould castings (ferrous and non-ferrous)
- Pattern makers and pattern shops designing and manufacturing patterns and coreboxes
- Tooling and mould equipment manufacturers supplying to foundries
- Quality managers and production engineers implementing tooling standards for repeatability
- Procurement and compliance teams specifying tooling requirements in purchase orders and contracts
Benefits of applying EN 12890:2000 include improved tooling interchangeability, reduced pattern-related defects, clearer documentation for maintenance and procurement, and better alignment between pattern makers and foundry production teams.
Related standards
- EN 12890:2000 complements other foundry and moulding standards. For processes outside its scope (lost patterns, permanent moulds, die casting) consult the specific standards dedicated to those technologies.
- Keywords for search: EN 12890:2000, founding, patterns, pattern equipment, coreboxes, sand moulds, sand cores, CEN standard, foundry tooling, moulding equipment.
Using EN 12890:2000 helps ensure pattern and corebox design and manufacture meet consistent industry expectations for sand mould production.
