What is BS EN 1396 - Coil coated sheet and strip about?
BS EN 1396 is a European standard on aluminium and aluminium alloys that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for manufacturing high-quality aluminium and aluminium alloy coil coated sheet and strip.
BS EN 1396 specifies the particular requirements for wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys in the form of coil-coated sheets and strips for general applications. This product is generally supplied in thicknesses up to 3,0 mm.
BS EN 1396 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.
BS EN 1396 does not apply to coil coated sheets and strips used for special applications such as cans, closures and lids which are dealt with in separate EN 541.
