Using ASTM B566 in a CCA Wire RFQ
State the standard edition and the wire construction required by your purchase specification. Include diameter, material condition, copper fraction, electrical requirements and the inspection records needed for the finished wire.

Product scope
ASTM’s published scope concerns bare round copper-clad aluminum wire for electrical applications. State the required edition and material class in the RFQ; do not extend the reference to CCS, flat ribbon or foil. Check the official ASTM catalog.
RFQ and document checklist
Scroll horizontally to read all columns. Keep the conditions and units with each value.
| Item | Information or evidence |
|---|---|
| Wire identity | Bare round CCA, diameter/tolerance, condition and the required standard edition |
| Copper construction | Copper fraction basis, layer coverage and applicable class requirements |
| Electrical results | Resistivity or resistance, temperature, length/section and lot identity |
| Mechanical/finish records | Specified tensile, elongation, layer integrity and surface checks |
| Application checks | Termination, heating and environmental tests required for the finished assembly |
Review the actual document scope and test conditions against the purchase requirements. A declaration, a test report and a management-system certificate serve different purposes.
