What is the difference between the “Teal Sheets” and EN 573-3 “Chemical Composition”?

The chemical composition limits stated in EN 573-3 “Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Chemical composition and form of wrought products - Part 3: Chemical composition” are identical to the one shown in the “Teal Sheets”.

Actually, EN 573-3 is a copy and paste from the “Teal Sheets”, but does not reproduce the full “Teal Sheets”. In EN 573-3 only the alloys used in Europe are copied.

Nowadays, you will find chemical composition tables in Annexes of a number of European aluminium standards as well. All these limits are copied from the “Teal Sheets”. It’s the aim to transfer these Annexes into EN 573-3, once it undergoes revision.
