BS EN 546-1 is the first part of a European multi-series standard that covers the best practices conditions for inspection and delivery for aluminium and aluminium alloy foil. BS EN 546-1 specifies the technical conditions for inspection and delivery of aluminium and aluminium alloy foil. The gauge range covered is 6 μm to 200 μm.
Note: BS EN 546-1 does not apply to lacquered, painted, embossed, or laminated products.
BS EN 546-1 on inspection and delivery of aluminium and aluminium alloy foil is useful for:
Aluminium foil is produced by the single rolling and double rolling process of aluminium and its alloys. It provides a strong blockage to light, air, moisture, or impurities; thus, it is used widely in food industries. BS EN 546-1 specifies the technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy foil.
Thus, BS EN 546-1 provides you with comprehensive information useful for manufacturing high-quality, cost-effective single-rolled and double rolled wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy foil with minimum or no manufacturing defects.
As a user of BS EN 546-1, you can be ensured of all technical conditions for inspection and delivery of wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy foil. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 546-1, you can efficiently inspect and deliver high-quality aluminium and aluminium alloy foil. BS EN 546-1 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. As a result, it will enable you to provide and deliver better end-products that have high tensile and fatigue strength and long service life. With BS EN 546-1 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
