According to this site, hey have 100% copper which they claim to be in compliance with EN12449 with minimum 880 bar pressure.

Yes that is a thicker wall, but the same complete con trick, EN12449 is NOT a spec for brake pipes, and there is no indication of the predicted number of fatigue cycles, which in any case is greatly reduced when the tube is flared or bent or scratched. That stuff is NOT brake pipe, and is downright dangerous. Note that they also supply cunifer.
