This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2003. Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 requested CEN/TC 133/WG 5 “Copper for electrical purposes“ to prepare the following standard: EN 13605, Copper and copper alloys Copper profiles and profiled wire for electrical purposes. The products specified in this European Standard are those which are especially suitable for electrical purposes, i.e. with specified electrical properties. Profiles for general purposes are specified in EN 12167. Annex A (informative) gives guidance on the characteristics of coppers for electrical purposes. Annex B (informative) gives recommended guidelines for design. This is one of a series of European Standards for copper products for electrical purposes. Other copper products are specified as follows: EN 13599, Copper and copper alloys Copper plate, sheet and strip for electrical purposes. EN 13600, Copper and copper alloys Seamless copper tubes for electrical purposes. EN 13601, Copper and copper alloys Copper rod, bar and wire for general electrical purposes. EN 13602, Copper and copper alloys Drawn, round copper wire for the manufacture of electrical conductors. EN 13604, Copper and copper alloys Products of high conductivity copper for electronic tubes, semiconductor devices and vacuum applications. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Oct 29 10:12:59 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 13605:2002 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the composition, property requirements including electrical properties, and tolerances on dimensions and form for copper profiles and profiled wire for electrical purposes which would fit within a circumscribing circle of maximum 180 mm diameter. The sampling procedures, the methods of test for verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard, and the delivery conditions are also specified. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter.

It may be solid or hollow: if solid, the contour of its cross-section is complex; or if hollow, the external contour and/or the internal contour of its cross-section is (are) complex 3.2 profiled wire particular type of wire, i.e. a wrought product of uniform cross-section along its whole length, supplied in coiled form. It may be solid or hollow: if solid, the contour of its cross-section is complex; or if hollow the external contour and/or the internal contour of its cross-section is (are) complex 4 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Oct 29 10:12:59 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 13605:2002 (E) 3.3 circumscribing circle smallest circle which completely encloses the contour of the cross-sections of the profile or profiled wire 4 Designations 4.1 Material 4.1.1 General The material is designated either by symbol or number (see Table 1). 4.1.2 Symbol The material symbol designation is based on the designation system given in ISO 1190-1. NOTE Although material symbol designations used in this standard might be the same as those in other standards using the designation system given in ISO 1190-1, the detailed composition requirements are not necessarily the same. 4.1.3 Number The material number designation is in accordance with the system given in EN 1412. 4.2 Material condition For the purposes of this standard, the following designations, which are in accordance with the system given in EN 1173, apply for the material condition: DMaterial condition for the product as drawn without specified mechanical properties; H. Material condition designated by the minimum value of hardness requirement for the product with mandatory hardness requirements; R. Material condition designated by the minimum value of tensile strength requirement for the product with mandatory tensile strength, 0,2% proof strength and elongation requirements. NOTE Products in the H. condition may be specified to Vickers or Brinell hardness. The material condition designation H. is the same for both hardness test methods. Exact conversion between the material conditions designated H. and R. is not possible. Material condition is designated by only one of the above designations. 5 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Oct 29 10:12:59 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI EN 13605:2002 (E) 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 (Profile or Profiled wire); number of this European Standard (EN 13605); material designation, either symbol or number (see Table 1); material condition designation (see Table 2); for profiles or profiled wire, a number, or the number of a fully dimensioned and toleranced drawing; for profiles, l
