1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip zinc coated flat
products in thicknesses up to 3,0 mm - unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering -made of the steel given in subclause 5.1 and table 1. The thickness is the final thickness of the delivered product after zinc coating.
This European Standard applies to strip of all widths and to sheets cut from it (> 600 mm width) and cut lengths (< 600 mm width).
The types of coating, coating masses and coating finishes available, and surface qualities are given in tables 2 to 4 (se also subclauses 5.2 to 5.4).
1.2 The products covered by this European Standard are suitable for applications where
suitability for forming and resistance to corrosion are of prime importance. Corrosion protection afforded by the coating is directly proportional to the m?ss of coating (see also 5.2.2).
1.3 This European Standard is not applicable to
— continuously hot-dip zinc coated unalloyed steel sheet and strip with specified minimum yield strengths for structural purposes (see EURONORM 147),
— electrolytic zinc coated flat steel products (see EURONORM 152),
— continuously organic coated flat steel products (see EURONORM 169).
