This European Standard specifies the composition, property requirements including electrical properties, and tolerances on dimensions and form for copper rod, bar and wire for general electrical purposes. Cross-sections and size ranges are: - round, square and hexagonal rod with diameters or widths across-flats from 2 mm up to and including 160 mm; - bar with thicknesses from 2 mm up to and including 40 mm and widths from 3 mm up to and including 200 mm; - round, square, hexagonal and rectangular wire with diameters or widths across-flats from 2 mm up to and including 25 mm, as well as thicknesses from 0,5 mm up to and including 12 mm with widths from 1 mm up to and including 200 mm. The sampling procedures and the methods of test for verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard are also specified. NOTE Drawn, round copper wire — plain or tinned, single or multiline — for the manufacture of electrical conductors is specified in EN 13602.
