European foreword
This document (EN 12020-2:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 132
“Aluminium and aluminium alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2023, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2023.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 12020-2:2016.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the
United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This document specifies tolerances on dimensions and form of extruded precision profiles in alloys
EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063, manufactured with and without a thermal barrier (see Figures 1 and 2).
It applies to extruded products supplied without further surface treatment. Precision profiles covered
in this document are distinguished from extruded profiles for general applications covered in EN 755-9
by the following characteristics:
— they are designed with mostly uniform wall-thicknesses;
— they are mainly used for mechanical engineering, architectural and automotive (except crash-
elements) applications;
— their maximum weight per metre is 10 kg/m;
— their maximum wall thickness ratio (t /t ) is 3,5.
max min
In the case of profiles which, due to the complexity of their design, are difficult to manufacture and
specify, then special agreements between supplier and purchaser may need to be reached.
NOTE The effect of the thermal barrier material on the dimensional tolerances is covered by this document
although the actual thermal barrier material itself is not (see EN 14024).

4 Tolerances on dimensions
4.1 General
If, for compelling reasons, tolerances closer than those specified in 4.2.2 are required, these shall only
be specified for dimensions that are critical to the function, subject to specific agreement between
supplier and purchaser. Any such reduction shall not exceed two-thirds of the values specified in this
document and is subject to a minimum tolerance band of 0,3 mm.
4.2 Cross-sectional dimensions
4.2.1 General
The tolerances of the following dimensions (see Figure 3) are specified in Tables 1 and 2.
— A: wall thicknesses except those enclosing the hollow spaces in hollow profiles;
— B: wall thicknesses enclosing the hollow spaces in hollow profiles, except those between two
hollow spaces;
— C: wall thicknesses between two hollow spaces in hollow profiles;
— E: the length of the shorter leg of profiles with open ends;
— H: all dimensions (except wall thickness) between points on the cross section of the profile or the
centres of open screw holes, including open ends.

4.2.2 Tolerances on dimensions other than wall thickness
The tolerances for dimension H shall be as specified in Table 1.

to any other point outside the chamber.

4.2.3 Tolerances on wall thickness of solid and hollow profiles
The tolerances on wall thickness (see Figure 3) of solid and hollow profiles shall be as specified in
Table 2.

By agreement between supplier and purchaser.
When, for functional reasons, tolerances are specified for both the outside and inside dimensions of
hollow sections, then the deviations given in Table 2 shall not apply as a wall thickness tolerance, but as
a tolerance on the difference in wall thickness. This difference shall be determined by measuring the
maximum and minimum wall thickness in the same plane.
4.3 Length
If fixed lengths are to be supplied, this shall be stated on the order. The fixed length tolerances shall be
as specified in Table 3.

If no fixed or minimum length is specified in the order, profiles may be delivered in random lengths. The
length range and the tolerances on the random lengths shall be subject to agreement between supplier
and purchaser.
4.4 Squareness of cut ends
The squareness of cut ends shall be within half of the fixed length tolerance range specified in Table 3

for both fixed and random lengths, e.g. for a fixed length tolerance of mm the deviation from
squareness of cut ends shall be within 5 mm measured over all the complete cross sectional width of
the profile.

Length offset K, see Figure 4, for profiles with a thermal barrier shall be within the tolerance range for
