Scope

This document specifies the particular requirements for wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip for general applications. This product is generally supplied in thicknesses up to 3,0 mm.

It is applicable to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated by the coil coating process both with liquid as well as with powder paints, either in the final width or slit afterwards, and to sheet obtained from such strip.

It does not apply to coil coated sheet and strip used for special applications such as cans, closures and lids which are dealt with in separate EN 541

Purpose

European Green Deal’s twin objectives of decarbonisation and a circular economy means that aluminium producers are using increasing amounts of recycled aluminium in their manufacturing processes. This, in turn, means that the recycled content in the various alloys that are used in coil coating should be recognised and included in the document.

It is proposed to modify the text in section 5 (Mechanical Properties) to reflect the increasing use of recycled aluminium and to update Table 1 with some of the latest alloy/tempers that are being used by the industry.

Note: in case the WI is based on documents from other organizations than ISO/IEC, please specify it here
