Scope

This European Standard specifies properties and technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought and cast aluminium and aluminium alloy products recommended for marine applications such as shipbuilding, maritime and offshore applications.
It applies to flat rolled products (sheet, strip and plate), extruded products (rod/bar, tube and profile), cold drawn products (rod/bar and tube), forgings and castings.
This document is to be used in conjunction with relevant European, national or international regulations as applicable, to which it comes in support.
This part of this European Standard covers :

- wrought products in aluminium and aluminium alloys for non-structural applications (see clauses 3 and 5) ;
- rivets in aluminium alloys (see clause 5) ;
- castings in aluminium alloys (see clause 6).
NOTE 1 Information is given in annex A to guide the user in the selection of aluminium and aluminium alloys and tempers for various applications, including the corrosion behaviour, the welding, riveting, machining and forming properties.
NOTE 2 Some of the products listed in the present standard can be subject to patent or patent applications, and their listing herein does not in any way imply the granting of a licence under such patent right.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licenses on standardised standard products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions, then this product shall be removed from the corresponding standard.
