manganese, nickel, zinc, titanium, tin k 0,10 % each; — copper k 0,10 % Copper is permitted in a proportion greater than 0,10 % but not more than 0,20 % and provided that neither the chromium nor

cast aluminium and aluminium alloys The cast aluminium and aluminium alloys which shall be used for the fabrication of articles for use in contact with food are those which conform with the requirements in 4.1 or 4.2 as applicable For every use of a standardized cast aluminium or aluminium alloy for the fabrication of articles for use in contact wih food, the conformity with this European Standard shall be established by checking the maximum contents specified in prEN 1706 against the requirements in 4.1 or 4.2 as applicable NOTE It is strongly recommended to use standardized aluminium or aluminium alloys The selection of the aluminium or aluminium alloy for a given application shall be the responsibility of the end product manufacturer, depending on the intended final use a Alloys containing more than % magnesium shall not be used for the production of pressure resisting parts in pressure cooking applications b For some alloying elements (e.g Ag) as mentioned under “Other elements” the maximum content is limited at 0,05 % because of insufficient knowledge about behaviour in contact with food Higher limits may be introduced when more information is available
