This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip coated products made of low carbon
steels for cold forming, of steels for construction, of steels with high proof strength for cold forming and coated
with zinc (Z), zinc-iron alloy (ZF), zinc-aluminium alloy (ZA), aluminium-zinc alloy (AZ) or aluminium-silicon alloy
(AS), and for continuously hot-dip coated products made of multiphase steels for cold forming coated with zinc
(Z) zinc-iron alloy (ZF) or zinc-aluminium alloy (ZA) with thicknesses of 0,35 mm to 3 mm unless otherwise
agreed.
The thickness is the final thickness of the delivered product after coating.
This document applies to strip of all widths and to sheets cut from it (≥ 600 mm width) and cut lengths
(< 600 mm width).
NOTE 1 Products coated with (pure) aluminium can also be available, but are not covered by this European standard.
NOTE 2 By agreement at the time of enquiry and order, this European Standard is applicable to continuously hot-dip
coated flat products in thicknesses < 0,35 mm or > 3 mm with agreed mechanical properties, adhesion of coating and
surface condition requirements.
NOTE 3 The products covered by this European Standard are used where cold formability, high strength, a defined
minimum yield strength and corrosion resistance are the most important factors. Corrosion resistance of the product is
proportional to the coating thickness, hence to its mass (see also 7.3.2). The products covered by this European Standard
can be used as substrates for organic coated flat products specified in EN 10169-1 and EN 10169-2 or EN 10169-3 for
building and general engineering applications.
NOTE 4 By agreement at the time of enquiry and order, this European standard is applicable to other continuously hotdip
coated hot rolled steel flat products (e.g. in accordance with EN 10149-2).
