National foreword
This British Standard is the English language version of EN 1652:1997. Together with
BS EN 1653:1998 and BS EN 1654:1998 it supersedes BS 2870:1980 and BS 2875:1969
which are withdrawn.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee
NFE/34, Copper and copper alloys, to Subcommittee NFE/34/1, Wrought and
unwrought copper and copper alloys, which has the responsibility to:

± aid enquirers to understand the text;

± present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
± monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to

its secretary.
Cross-references
The British Standards which implement international or European publications
referred to in this document may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the
section entitled ªInternational Standards Correspondence Indexº, or by using the

A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German).
A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a
CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the
same status as the official versions.

4.3 Product
The product designation provides a standardized pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal
description of a product is 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 standard shall consist of:
± denomination (plate, sheet, strip or circle);
± number of this European Standard (EN 1652);
± material designation, either symbol or number (see Tables 1 and 2);
± material condition designation (see Table 3);
± nominal dimensions:
± plate: thickness 3 width 3 length [either ªas manufacturedº (M) or ªfixedº (F) length] (see example 1);
± sheet: thickness 3 width 3 length [either ªas manufacturedº (M) or ªfixedº (F) length];
± strip (in coils or on spools): thickness 3 width;
± strip (cut to length): thickness 3 width 3 length [either ªas manufacturedº (M) or ªfixedº (F) length];
± circles: thickness 3 diameter (see example 2).
The derivation of a product designation is shown for plate in example 1 and another typical product designation
is shown in example 2.
EXAMPLE 1:
Plate conforming to this standard, in material designated either Cu-OF or CW008A, in material condition H065,
nominal thickness 14,25 mm, nominal width 350,5 mm, as manufactured length 1 200 mm, shall be designated as
follows:

EXAMPLE 2:
Circle conforming to this standard, in material designated either CuNi12Zn24 or CW403J, in material condition
R550, nominal thickness 1,115 mm, nominal diameter 345,5 mm, shall be designated as follows:

BSI Ð British Standards Institution
|
|
|
|
|
|
| BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing British Standards. It
|
| presents the UK view on standards in Europe and at the international level. It is
| incorporated by Royal Charter.
|
|
| Revisions
|
|
| British Standards are updated by amendment or revision. Users of British Standards
|
| should make sure that they possess the latest amendments or editions.
|
|
| It is the constant aim of BSI to improve the quality of our products and services. We
|
| would be grateful if anyone finding an inaccuracy or ambiguity while using this
| British Standard would inform the Secretary of the technical committee responsible,
|
| the identity of which can be found on the inside front cover. Tel: 020 8996 9000.
|
| Fax: 020 8996 7400.
|
|
| BSI offers members an individual updating service called PLUS which ensures that
|
| subscribers automatically receive the latest editions of standards.
|
|
| Buying standards
|
| Orders for all BSI, international and foreign standards publications should be
|
| addressed to Customer Services. Tel: 020 8996 9001. Fax: 020 8996 7001.
|
|
| In response to orders for international standards, it is BSI policy to supply the BSI
|
| implementation of those that have been published as British Standards, unless
|
| otherwise requested.
|
|
| Information on standards
|
| BSI provides a wide range of information on national, European and international
|
| standards through its Library and its Technical Help to Exporters Service. Various
|
| BSI electronic information services are also available which give details on all its
|
| products and services. Contact the Information Centre. Tel: 020 8996 7111.
|
| Fax: 020 8996 7048.
|
|
| Subscribing members of BSI are kept up to date with standards developments and
| receive substantial discounts on the purchase price of standards. For details of
|
| these and other benefits contact Membership Administration. Tel: 020 8996 7002.
