Frequently Asked Questions
CEN/TC 133/WG 7 is a Working Group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Ingots and castings" and is responsible for: Standardization of copper and copper alloy ingots and castings. This committee has published 5 standards.
CEN/TC 133/WG 7 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Standardization of copper and copper alloy ingots and castings. Currently, there are 5 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This document specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of copper and copper alloys. The sampling procedures and test methods for the verification of conformity to the requirements of this document are also specified.
This document is applicable to:
a) copper alloy ingots intended to be remelted for later processing (e.g. castings); and
b) copper and copper alloy castings which are intended for use without subsequent working other than machining.
Recommended practice for the ordering and supply of castings is included in Annex A. Optional supplementary inspection procedures for ingots and castings are included in Annex B.
NOTE Ingots are not suitable for pressure equipment applications.

This European Standard specifies the compositions of copper-based master alloys intended for the manufacture, deoxidation, or desulfurization of cast or wrought alloys, especially those based on copper, supplied in the form of ingots, notched bar, notched slab (waffle plate), granules or broken pieces.
A procedure is included for sampling the master alloys for analysis for verification of conformity to the composition requirements.
A method for the determination of chromium(III)-oxide in chromium-copper master alloy is given in annex A.

This standard is applicable to: a) copper alloy ingots intended to be remelted for the production of castings; and b) copper and copper alloy castings which are intended for use without subsequent working other than machining. The castings may be manufactured by the sand, permanent mould, centrifugal, continuous or pressure die casting process. Recommended practice for the ordering and supply of castings is included in annex A. Optional supplementary inspection procedures for ingots and castings are included in annex B.
