6 Requirements
7 Sampling
6.1 Composition
The composition shall conform to the requirements for
the appropriate material given in Tables 1 to 8.
7.1 General
When required (e.g. if necessary in accordance with
specified procedures of a supplier's quality system, or
when the purchaser requests inspection documents
with test results, or for use in cases of dispute), an
inspection lot shall be sampled in accordance with 7.2
and 7.3.
6.2 Hardness
The hardness properties of H... condition material shall
conform to either the Brinell or the Vickers hardness
requirements given for round or regular polygonal rod
in Tables 9 to 16. The test shall be carried out in
accordance with 8.2. The test method to be used
(Brinell or Vickers) shall be stated by the purchaser in
the order [see 5j)] unless the choice is to be left to the
NOTE No tensile requirements are specified in this standard. The
tensile values given in Tables 9 to 16 are approximate and are
given for information only.
6.3 Resistance to dezincification

The depth of dezincification of CuZn36Pb2As
(CW602N) products shall be:
for grade A: maximum 200 mm;
for grade B: mean not to exceed 200 mm and
maximum 400 mm [see 5k)].
The test shall be carried out in accordance with 8.3.
NOTE The as-supplied forging stock may not necessarily meet
this requirement unless suitably heat treated as described in 8.3.
The test is intended to demonstrate that forgings produced from
the stock are capable of being processed so as to pass the test
requirement.
6.4 Dimensions and tolerances

6.4.1 Diameter
The diameter shall conform to the tolerances given in
Table 17 for class A, B or C, as appropriate to the order
[see 5g)]. The diameter is calculated as the mean of
one or more pairs of measurements taken at right
angles at the same cross-section of the rod.
6.4.2 Circularity
For round rod the deviation from circularity shall not
exceed half the range of the tolerance on diameter
given in Table 17.
6.4.3 Length
The forging stock shall conform to the tolerances on
length given in Table 18.
NOTE Subject to agreement between the purchaser and the
supplier, an agreed proportion of underlength rod may be included
in a consignment.
6.4.4 Straightness
For round rod of diameter from 10 mm up to and
including 50 mm, supplied to class C tolerances on
diameter and of length 1 000 mm or over, the deviation
from straightness, defined as the curvature (depth of
arc) against a datum line when the product is lying flat
in a horizontal plane, shall conform to the tolerances
given in Table 19.
BSI 1998
7.2 Analysis
The sampling rate shall be in accordance with Table 20.
A test sample, depending on the analytical technique to
be employed, shall be prepared from each sampling
unit and used for the determination of the
composition.
NOTE 1 When preparing the test sample, care should be taken to
avoid contaminating or overheating the test sample. Carbide
tipped tools are recommended; steel tools, if used, should be
made of magnetic material to assist in the subsequent removal of
extraneous iron. If the test samples are in finely divided form
(e.g. drillings, millings), they should be treated carefully with a
strong magnet to remove any particles of iron introduced during
preparation.
NOTE 2 In cases of dispute concerning the results of analysis,
the full procedure given in ISO 1811-2 should be followed.
Results may be used from analyses carried out at an

earlier stage of manufacturing the product, e.g. at the
casting stage, if the material identity is maintained and
if the quality system of the manufacturer is certified as
conforming to EN ISO 9001 or EN ISO 9002.
7.3 Hardness and dezincification resistance tests
The sampling rate shall be in accordance with Table 20.
Sampling units shall be selected from the finished
products. The test samples shall be cut from the
sampling units and may require heat treatment before
testing. Test samples, and test pieces prepared from
them, shall not be subjected to any further treatment,
other than any machining operations necessary in the
preparation of the test pieces.
8 Test methods
8.1 Analysis
Analysis shall be carried out on the test pieces, or test
portions, prepared from the test samples obtained in
accordance with 7.2. Except in cases of dispute, the
analytical methods used shall be at the discretion of
the supplier. For expression of results, the rounding
rules given in 8.5 shall be used.
NOTE In cases of dispute concerning the results of analysis,
methods of analysis to be used should be agreed between the
disputing parties.
8.2 Hardness test

8.2.1 General
When a hardness test is to be carried out the test
samples shall be prepared in accordance with 8.2.2
and the test shall be carried out in accordance
with 8.2.3.
Page 6
EN 12165:1998
8.2.2 Preparation of samples
NOTE The method of preparation of the test sample, i.e. whether

in accordance with a) or b) of 8.2.2.1, should be stated together
with the hardness test results obtained, on any inspection
document supplied for the forging stock [see 5m)].
8.2.2.2 Precipitation hardening alloys

Test samples from alloys in Table 2, obtained in
accordance with 7.3, shall be either:
a) used directly (i.e. in the as-delivered condition) for
the hardness test; or
b) solution heat treated and precipitation hardened
before testing
at the option of the purchaser [see 5i)], unless the
choice of sample preparation has been left to the
NOTE The method of preparation of the test sample, i.e. whether
in accordance with a) or b) of 8.2.2.2, should be stated, together
with the hardness test results obtained, on any inspection
document supplied for the forging stock [see 5m)].
8.2.3 Procedure for testing

Hardness shall be determined on a test piece cut from
the test sample prepared in accordance with 8.2.2. The
test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 10003-1
or ISO 6507-1 as appropriate [see 5j)] and the
impression/indentation made on the cross-section of
the test piece mid-way between the central axis and
the outside surface.
For the Vickers test in accordance with ISO 6507-1, a
test force of 49,03 N, 98,07 N or 294,21 N shall be used.
For the Brinell test in accordance with EN 10003-1,
a 0,102F/D2 ratio of 10 shall be used, i.e. use a 1,00 mm
diameter ball and a force of 98,07 N, or a 2,5 mm
diameter ball and a force of 612,9 N, or a 10,0 mm
diameter ball and a force of 9 807 N.
NOTE When reporting hardness test results, reference should be
made to the method of preparation of the sample (see 8.2.2).
8.3 Dezincification resistance test

The test method given in EN ISO 6509 shall be used on
the test samples obtained in accordance with 7.3. If
required, the test samples shall be heat treated in the
temperature range 450 8C to 550 8C before testing. A
test piece shall be taken from each test sample so as
to expose a prepared cross-sectional surface to the test
solution.
9 Declaration of conformity and

inspection documentation
9.1 Declaration of conformity
When requested by the purchaser [see 5l)] and agreed
with the supplier, the supplier shall issue for the
products the appropriate declaration of conformity in
accordance with EN 1655.
9.2 Inspection documentation
When requested by the purchaser [see 5m)] and agreed
with the supplier, the supplier shall issue for the
products the appropriate inspection document in
accordance with EN 10204.
10 Marking, labelling, packaging

Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser and
agreed by the supplier, the marking, labelling and
packaging shall be left to the discretion of the supplier
[see 5n)].
BSI 1998
8.2.2.1 Non-precipitation hardening alloys

Test samples from alloys in Table 1 and in Tables 3
to 8, obtained in accordance with 7.3, at the option of
the supplier, shall be prepared in accordance with
either a) or b) as follows:
a) directly from forging stock produced by hot
working; or
b) from forging stock subsequently annealed at a
temperature of not less than 500 8C for not less
than 30 min.
At the completion of the test:

for grade A, the maximum depth of
dezincification in a longitudinal direction shall be
measured;
for grade B, the mean depth of dezincification (in
accordance with annex B) and the maximum depth
of dezincification, in a longitudinal direction, shall be
measured.
8.4 Retests for analysis, hardness and
dezincification resistance
If there is a failure of one, or more than one, of the
tests in 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3, two test samples from the same
inspection lot shall be permitted to be selected for
retesting the failed property (properties). One of these
test samples shall be taken from the same sampling
unit as that from which the original failed test piece
was taken, unless that sampling unit is no longer
available, or has been withdrawn by the supplier.
If the test pieces from both test samples pass the
appropriate test(s), then the inspection lot represented
shall be deemed to conform to the particular
requirement(s) of this standard. If a test piece fails a
test, the inspection lot represented shall be deemed not
to conform to this standard.
8.5 Rounding of results
For the purpose of determining conformity to the
compositional limits specified in this standard, an
observed or a calculated value obtained from the
analysis shall be rounded in accordance with the
following procedure, which is based upon the guidance
given in annex B of ISO 31-0:1992. It shall be rounded
in one step to the same number of figures used to
express the specified limit in this standard.
The following rules shall be used for rounding:
a) if the figure immediately after the last figure to be
retained is less than 5, the last figure to be retained
shall be kept unchanged;
b) if the figure immediately after the last figure to be
retained is equal to or greater than 5, the last figure
to be retained shall be increased by 1.

Determination of mean depth of
dezincification
B.1 Introduction
EN ISO 6509 specifies a method for the determination
of the maximum depth of dezincification of a brass
specimen. In accordance with the ruling given in 7.5.3
of EN ISO 6509:1995, the following procedure extends
the method to cover the determination of the mean
depth of dezincification, in order to verify conformity
to the dezincification resistance acceptance criteria for
CuZn36Pb2As (CW602N) grade B products.
B.2 Procedure
Having determined the maximum depth of
dezincification in a longitudinal direction, in
accordance with clause 7 of EN ISO 6509:1995
(see 8.3), carry out the following operations to
determine the mean depth of dezincification.
Adjust the magnification of the microscope to suit the
general depth of dezincification and use the same
magnification for all measurements. Examine the entire
length of the section for evaluation, in contiguous
visual fields of the microscope.
NOTE To ensure the best accuracy of measurement, measure the
largest number of contiguous fields at the greatest possible
magnification.
Using the measuring scale incorporated in the

microscope, measure and record the dezincification
depth, i.e. the point of intersection of the scale and the
dezincification front, [see Figure B.1a)] for each
contiguous field. If the scale lies between two
dezincified areas within the visual field, the
dezincification depth shall be recorded as the point of
intersection of the scale and an imaginary line joining
the extremities of the two dezincification fronts
adjacent to the scale [see Figure B.1b)].
If there is no evidence of dezincification in the field
examined, or only one dezincified area which does not
intersect the scale, then record the dezincification
depth of that field as zero [see Figure B.1c)].
B.3 Expression of results
After measurement of all the contiguous fields along
the entire length of the section for evaluation, calculate
and report the mean dezincification depth as the sum
of the measured depths for every field, divided by the
number of contiguous fields examined.
NOTE The locations for the measurement of dezincification depth, in three different cases, are marked X.
