Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1396:2007. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 1396:2015



EN 1396:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Organic coated aluminium and aluminium alloy strip and sheet products can be used to advantage in cases where corrosion resistance and decorative appearance are of primary importance. They have applications throughout the flat products processing industry e.g. in the building, automotive, caravans, appliances, fabricating and packaging industries. Organic coated aluminium and aluminium alloy flat products can be delivered in numerous types and grades, depending on the base material used (various grades of aluminium), on the coating material and types of coating and on the requirements for the surface appearance and the formability. The properties of the products can vary within greater or smaller limits depending on the choice and combination of properties required. It is therefore not practicable to specify in detail minimum requirements for all properties for all types of products. As a general rule, material specifications shall be agreed between manufacturer and user/purchaser using, when appropriate, the guidelines from Annex C. Guidelines for proper storage and subsequent processing of organic coated aluminium flat products are given in Annex D. SIST EN 1396:2015

Introduction
Organic coated aluminium and aluminium alloy strip and sheet products can be used to advantage in cases
where corrosion resistance and decorative appearance are of primary importance. They have applications
throughout the flat products processing industry e.g. in the building, automotive, caravans, appliances,
fabricating and pack- aging industries.
Organic coated aluminium and aluminium alloy flat products can be delivered in numerous types and grades,
depending on the base material used (various grades of aluminium), on the coating material and types of
coating and on the requirements for the surface appearance and the formability.
The properties of the products can vary within greater or smaller limits depending on the choice
and combination of properties required. It is therefore not practicable to specify in detail minimum
requirements for all properties for all types of products.
As a general rule, material specifications shall be agreed between manufacturer and user/purchaser using,
when appropriate, the guidelines from Annex C.
Guidelines for proper storage and subsequent processing of organic coated aluminium flat products are given
in Annex D.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the particular requirements for wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium
alloys in the form of coil coated sheet and strip for general applications. This product is generally supplied in
thicknesses up to 3,0 mm.
It applies to cold-rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy strip coated by the coil coating process both with
liquid as well as with powder paints, either in the final width or slit afterwards, and to sheet obtained from
such strip.
It does not apply to coil coated sheet and strip used for special applications such as cans, closures and
lids which are dealt with in separate EN 541.
