This part of EN 12020 specifies technical conditions for inspection and delivery of alloys EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063 extruded precision profiles manufactured with and without a thermal barrier (see Figures 1 and 2). It applies to as extruded products supplied without further surface treatment. Precision profiles covered in this standard are distinguished from extruded profiles for general applications covered in EN 755-9 by the following characteristics:
- they are mainly for architectural applications;
- they meet more stringent requirements regarding the surface condition of visible surfaces;
- the maximum diameter of the circumscribing circle CD is 300 mm
- they are made to closer tolerances on dimensions and form.
In the case of profiles which, due to the complexity of their design are difficult to manufacture and specify, then special agreements between purchaser and manufacturer may need to be reached.
NOTE 1 The thermal barrier material is not covered by this standard.
NOTE 2 Some of the products listed in the present standard can be subject to patent or patent applications, and their listing herein does not in any way imply the granting of a license under such patent right.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licenses on standardized standards products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions then this product shall be removed from the corresponding standard.
