NOTE 1 - 1 N/mm2 is equivalent to 1 MPa.
NOTE 2 - Figures in brackets are not requirements of this standard but are given for information.
a For thicknesses less than 0.10 mm the mechanical characteristics shall be established by agreement between supplier and purchaser.
b For Cu-ETP (CW004A) and Cu-FRHC (CW005A) and CuAg0,10 (CW013A) with thicknesses from less than 0.10 up to and including 0.20 mm, the following values apply:
Rm min. 200 N/mm2 and A50 mm min. 28 %.
