DIN EN 13601:2013-09

This European Standard specifies the composition, property requirements including electrical properties, and tolerances on dimensions and form for copper rod, bar and wire for general electrical purposes. Cross-sections and size ranges are: - round, square and hexagonal rods with diameters or widths across-flats from 2 mm up to and including 160 mm; - rectangular bars with thicknesses from 2 mm up to and including 40 mm and widths from 3 mm up to and including 200 mm; - round, square, hexagonal and rectangular wire with diameters or widths across-flats from 2 mm up to and including 25 mm, as well as thicknesses from 0,5 mm up to and including 12 mm with widths from 1 mm up to and including 200 mm. The sampling procedures and test methods for verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard are also specified. Drawn, round copper wire - plain or tinned, single or multiline - for the manufacture of electrical conductors is specified in EN 13602. This European Standard (EN 13601:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 133 "Copper and copper alloys" (secretariat: DIN, Germany) of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Regarding the German collaboration, Working Committee NA 066-02-04 AA "Strangpress- und Zieherzeugnisse" ("Extruded and drawn products") of the Nonferrous Metals Standards Committee (FNNE) is responsible.
