BS EN 1563:2018 - Your Guide to Reliable Cast Iron Specifications

Comprehensive Cast Iron Standard for Manufacturers and Engineers

BS EN 1563:2018 is the essential British Standard that outlines the specifications for a wide range of cast iron materials used in manufacturing and engineering applications. Developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), this standard provides detailed requirements, test methods, and quality control measures to ensure cast iron components meet rigorous performance and safety criteria.

Detailed Technical Requirements for Cast Iron

This standard covers the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and other key characteristics of the following cast iron materials:

• Lamellar graphite cast iron
• Spheroidal graphite cast iron
• Austempered ductile cast iron

The specifications outlined in BS EN 1563:2018 enable manufacturers to consistently produce high-quality cast iron parts that comply with strict industry regulations and performance standards. Comprehensive test methods are provided to verify compliance across a range of physical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance and Product Quality

Adherence to BS EN 1563:2018 is essential for any business operating in the cast iron manufacturing or engineering sectors. This standard helps organisations:

• Meet legal and regulatory requirements for cast iron components
• Maintain strict quality control and product traceability
• Demonstrate their commitment to manufacturing excellence
• Deliver cast iron parts that perform reliably and safely

Whether you're a manufacturer, engineer, or specifier, BS EN 1563:2018 is a crucial resource for ensuring the integrity and compliance of cast iron materials in your applications.
