scope:

This standard specifies requirements for flat products forpressure purposes made of stainless steels, including austeniticcreep resisting steels, in thicknesses as indicated in Tables 7 to10. The requirements of EN 10028-1 also apply. NOTE 1 The steelgrades covered by this European Standard have been selected from EN10088?1. NOTE 2 Once this European Standard is published in theOfficial Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under Directive2014/68/EU, presumption of conformity to the Essential SafetyRequirements (ESRs) of Directive 2014/68/EU is limited to technicaldata of materials in this European Standard (Part 1 and Part 7) anddoes not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item ofequipment. Consequently, the assessment of the technical datastated in this material standard against the design requirements ofthis specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of thePressure Equipment Directive are satisfied, needs to be done.
