This European Standard describes detailed steps for dissolution and preparation of calibration solutions. The pre-ferred use is for certification and referee analysis. All instrumentation, including software used in the testing labo-ratories, are different an subject to change. Therefore, general criteria for calibration and measurement are speci-fied.
This method has to be used with primary reference materials whose mass of substance have a significant smaller uncertainty as required of the repeatability of the testing procedure.

This document describes the criteria and the procedure for analysing aluminium and aluminium alloys with spark optical emission spectrometry (S-OES). The scope of this document covers the following:
-   sample preparation;
-   operational guidelines for an optical emission spectrometer (including maintenance);
-   traceability of the analytical results to the International System of units: mass (kg);
-   assessing the uncertainty associated with each analytical result.
This document refers to simultaneous spark emission spectrometers for the analysis of solid samples.
It applies to the determination of silicon, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, chromium, nickel, zinc, titanium, boron, gallium, vanadium, beryllium, bismuth, calcium, cadmium, cobalt, lithium, sodium, phosphorus, lead, antimony, tin, strontium and zirconium in aluminium and aluminium alloys.
Elements other than those listed above may be analysed on the condition that:
a) suitable reference materials are available; and
b) the instrument is suitably calibrated and equipped.
In the case of determining mercury, for compliance purposes an alternate method with a limit of quantification < 0,000 1 % is recommended as its detection is compromised by intense iron interference at 253,65 nm.
The test result obtained from a spark optical emission spectrometer generally concerns an amount of less than one milligram per spark spot. The result can be used to refer to the laboratory test sample, to the aluminium or aluminium alloy melt or to the cast product.

This document specifies methods of assessing the quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings on
aluminium and its alloys by measurement of the loss of mass after immersion in acid solution(s).
It consists of the following two methods.
— Method 1: Assessment of quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings by measurement of the loss of
mass after immersion in a phosphoric acid based solution without prior acid treatment.
— Method 2: Assessment of quality of sealed anodic oxidation coatings by measurement of the loss of
mass after immersion in a phosphoric acid based solution with prior acid treatment.
Method 1 is applicable to anodic oxidation coatings intended for decorative or protective purposes or
where resistance to staining is important.
Method 2 is applicable to anodic oxidation coatings intended for outdoor architectural purposes. For
less severe applications, Method 1 can be more suitable.
The methods are not applicable to the following:
— hard-type anodic oxidation coatings which normally are not sealed;
— anodic oxidation coatings that have been sealed only in dichromate solutions;
— anodic oxidation coatings produced in chromic acid solutions;
— anodic oxidation coatings that have undergone treatment to render them hydrophobic.
NOTE 1 The methods assess the quality of hydrothermal sealing applied to anodized aluminium. They can be
appropriate for other sealing methods.
NOTE 2 The methods are destructive and can serve as reference methods in case of doubt or dispute
regarding the results of the test for loss of absorptive power (see ISO 2143) or the measurement of admittance
(see ISO 2931).

This document specifies requirements for corrosion protection of steel structures, components or
parts, which are coated by thermal spraying of zinc, aluminium or their alloys.
This document specifies requirements for coating manufacturers of surface preparation, thermal
spraying, testing and post treatments, e.g. sealing of the coating. This document applies to metallic
corrosion protection coatings in the case of new fabrication in the workshop, as well as on-site and for
repair on-site after assembly.
Requirements for coating thickness, minimum adhesive strength and surface conditions, specified in a
coating specification, are given.
Recommendations are given for suitable process steps and quality assurance measures for new
production and maintenance and for supervising of corrosion protection works.
This document covers the application of thermal-sprayed zinc, aluminium and their alloys for protection
against corrosion in the temperature range between –50 °C to +200 °C. Heat-resistant protective
coatings of aluminium are covered by ISO 17834 and are not in the scope of this document.
This document specifies requirements for the equipment, the working place and the qualification of the
spray and testing personnel.
NOTE ISO 2063-1:2017 is addressed to the designer and to the planning engineer of corrosion protection
system.

This European Standard establishes temper designations for all forms of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys and for continuously cast aluminium and aluminium alloys drawing stock and strip intended to be wrought.
NOTE   Some of these temper designations may be subject of patent or patent applications and their listing herein is not to be construed in any way as the granting of a license under such patent right.
Additional temper designations, conforming to this standard, may be standardized with CEN/TC 132 and AECMA/5 provided:
-   the temper is used or is available for use by more than one user;
-   mechanical property limits are defined;
-   the characteristics of the temper are significantly different from those of all other tempers which have the same sequence of basic treatments and for which designations already have been assigned for the same alloy and product;
-   the following are also defined if characteristics other than mechanical properties are considered significant:
a)   test methods and limits for the characteristics; or
b)   the specific practices used to produce the temper.
