What is BS EN 13602 - Drawn round copper wire about?
BS EN 13602 specifies the composition, property requirements including electrical properties and dimensional tolerances for drawn round copper wire from 0,04 mm up to and including 5,0 mm for the manufacture of electrical conductors intended for the production of bare and insulated cables and flexible cords.
BS EN 13602 covers plain or tinned, single or multiline, annealed or hard drawn wire It does not include wire for enameling (winding wire, magnet wire), for electronic application, and for contact wire for electric traction.
The sampling procedures, the test methods for verification of conformity to the requirements of BS EN 13602, and the delivery conditions are also specified.
Note: Due to the thermal and/or mechanical treatment involved in cable-making processes, the properties of conductors in the final cable or cord differ from those of the original wire supplied Requirements for conductors taken from cable or cord are given inappropriate cable standards
