specifies the tolerances on shape and dimensions for wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy sheet, strip and plate obtained by cold-rolling, for general engineering applications It applies to products with a thickness over 0,20 mm up to and including 50 mm It does not apply to semi-finished rolled products in coiled form to be subjected to further rolling (reroll stock) or to special products such as corrugated, embossed, etc sheet and strip or to special applications such as aerospace, can stock, etc which are dealt with in separate European Standards Technical conditions for inspection and delivery of products covered by this standard are specified in EN 485-1 3.1 Thickness 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 For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies EN 485-1, Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Sheet, strip and plate — Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery EN 573-3, Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Chemical composition and form of wrought products — Part 3: Chemical composition 3.1.1 For the purpose of this European Standard the alloys are distributed into two groups which correspond to varying difficulty when manufacturing the products Tighter thickness tolerances apply to Group I alloys (soft alloys) The grouping is carried out according to the specified chemical composition limits of the alloys (see EN 573-3) as follows: — Group I alloys: — 000 series alloys; — non heat-treatable 000 and 000 series alloys; — 000 series alloys with less than % maximum specified silicon content; — 000 and 000 series alloys for which the maximum specified magnesium and manganese contents are each no greater than 1,8 % and their sum no greater than 2,3 % — Group II alloys: — all alloys which not belong to Group I The split into Group I and Group II of the most commonly used general engineering alloys is given in annex A (see Table A1) www.bzfxw.com © BSI 12-1998 3.1.2 Thickness tolerances for sheet, strip and plate are specified in
