If your foundry produces copper and copper alloy ingots, or you use copper in castings for mechanical applications, then you’d want to ensure that the copper products you produce conform to the specifications required by the industry.
Likewise if you are purchasing copper and copper alloy ingots or use copper castings, you’d want to be sure the raw materials used are of the quality that your customers demand.
BS EN 1982 is the European standard that specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of different castings and ingots of copper and its alloys.
