This European Standard specifies a routine method for the analysis of copper and copper alloys by spark
source optical emission spectrometry (S-OES). The method is applicable to all elements except copper
commonly present in copper and copper alloys present as impurities or minor or main constituents, and
detectable by S-OES.
