DIN EN 1559-2:2014-12

In order to assist manufacturers and purchasers to prepare proper contractual arrangements and prevent misunderstanding, CEN/TC 190 approved the preparation of a series of standards covering technical delivery conditions. These have been prepared as separate parts as follows; EN 1559-1, Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 1: General; - EN 1559-2, Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 2: Additional requirements for steel castings; - EN 1559-3, Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 3: Additional requirements for iron castings; - EN 1559-4, Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 4: Additional requirements for aluminium castings; - EN 1559-5, Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 5: Additional requirements for magnesium castings; - EN 1559-6, Founding - Technical conditions of delivery - Part 6: Additional requirements for zinc castings. The standard DIN EN 1559-2, prepared by ECISS/TC 111 "Steel castings and forgings", covers additional technical delivery conditions for all steel castings unless other conditions have been agreed at the time of enquiry and order, and maintains the same structure for the Clauses as in DIN EN 1559-1:2011. It is also applicable to nickel and cobalt alloy castings. Annex A gives a checklist for quick information about different points that shall or may be agreed by the time of acceptance of the order. They relate to the applicable clauses or subclauses of DIN EN 1559-1:2011 and DIN EN 1559-2:2014. Annex B provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous edition.
