20、ard referring to EN2500 and its supporting standards. Since these links did not allow the partial use of the supporting standards, the following amendments have been introduced to ensure that: strongly interlinked standards are limited to those strictly necessary to ensure coherency; other standards
21、 may be either used, or replaced by standards of another origin, at the purchasers discretion. The basic change in these links is that the dimensional standards and designation standard for semi-finished products, where applicable, have been dissociated from the material standard. Additionally, prod
22、uct qualification procedures are being introduced. Pending the updating of the standards, these two organizations exist in parallel: the original one described by EN2500; the new one described in this standard (seeAnnex A and Annex B). To enable progressive updating of the standards, an intermediate
23、 procedure is to be followed, as described inAnnex C, pending full introduction of the new organization. 1 Scope This standard specifies the general organization of metallic material standards, their links with other types of EN standards and their use, for aerospace applications. It corresponds to
24、level 0 (see4.1). 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendm

32、purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply: 3.1 family of metallic materials group of metallic materials characterized by a base element or a group of base elements in several different semi-finished product forms: aluminium and aluminium alloys; magnesium alloys; heat resisting allo
33、ys (nickel or cobalt or iron base); titanium and titanium alloys; steel; filler metals for brazing; etc. 3.2 semi-finished products generic term used to indicate that the material as supplied does not necessarily have any relation to the exact form, dimensions or condition in which that material is
34、used as a final component this term may refer to one of the following types: wrought products (e.g. bar, sheet, sections) or cast products (e.g. rod, amorphous brazing foil) characterized by their form within a range of standardized dimensions; products of non-standardized form and dimensions produc
35、ed by the same metallurgical technique (e.g. forging stock, remelting stock); blanks manufactured from the products stated above, of non-standardized form and dimension (e.g. forgings, castings). 4 Description of the types of EN standards There are five levels of EN standards, numbered from0 to4 (se
36、eAnnex A). For the intermediate procedure, see Annex C. 4.1 General standard (level0) 4.2 Basic standards (level1) They define the wording and/or specify conventional rules that provide the basis of understanding between the writer and the user of standards specifying rules (see4.3) and semi-finishe
37、d product definition documents (see4.4). They are the following: 4.3 Standards specifying rules (level2) They specify the specific rules for the drafting and presentation of the semi-finished product definition documents (see4.4). They are the following: and during the intermediate procedure: 4.4 Se
38、mi-finished product definition documents (level3) 4.4.1 Material standards They specify a series of technical requirements relating to a metallic material semi-finished product, in one or several delivery conditions and only one use condition. 4.4.2 Technical specifications They specify, for the sem
39、i-finished products of a metallic material family, general and specific technical requirements related to: manufacturing; quality assurance (qualification, acceptance, etc.); the preparation and procedures for inspection (including test frequency); the order and shipment. 5) Published as AECMA Techn

43、y of metallic materials: geometry; dimensions; associated tolerances. 4.4.5 Designation standards for semi-finished products They specify the rules for designation of metallic semi-finished products, e.g.: EN2600. 4.4.6 Technical Reports They group information in a practical way, e.g. 4.5 Supplement
44、ary standards for quality assurance (level4) They specify supplementary quality assurance requirements concerning e.g.: personnel; facilities; processes. For example the following: 5 Links between types of EN standards and use 5.1 Level 1, 2 and 4 standards 5.1.1 Basic standards (level1) shall be sy
45、stematically used in defining the semi-finished product definition documents (level3), see5.2. 5.1.2 Rules (level2) for the drafting and presentation of semi-finished product definition documents (level3), shall be systematically applied. 5.1.3 Supplementary standards for quality assurance (level4)
46、are only referred to in the relevant standards where their application is considered necessary. NOTEThe supplementary standards for quality assurance may also be external to the collection (e.g. ISO, ASTM) after agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 5.2 Level 3 standards 5.2.1 The ma
47、terial standard is the lead document that provides the basis of understanding between the manufacturer and the purchaser. As such, the requirements of the material standard shall override any other different requirements of any other referenced level3 standard (seeAnnex B). 5.2.2 The material standa
48、rd shall refer to the relevant technical specification. NOTEThis link is mandatory for coherency of the collection. 5.2.3 The material standard and the relevant technical specification shall refer to test method standards, where required. NOTE 1The test method standards from the original organizatio
49、n remain valid for the new organization. NOTE 2Test method standards external to the collection may also be used (e.g. ISO, ASTM). 5.2.4 Dimensional standards shall not be referred to in the material standards. Dimensions shall be independently specified by the purchaser on the order, in accordance with the requirements of the technical specification or normative documents from another origin. 5.2.5 D
