scope:

This International Standard specifies the characteristics of carbon steel sheet of commercial and drawing qualities in cut length or coil form, zinc coated by electrolytic deposition. Electrolytic zinc-coated sheet is intended for the manufacture of formed or of miscellaneous parts, and can be supplied chemically treated to render it more suitable for painting. The zinc coating is expressed in micrometres of thickness per side, for either equally coated, differentially coated or one-side-coated sheets. These sheets are generally produced with coatings which are not intended to withstand outdoor exposure without chemical treatment and painting. Electrolytic zinc-coated sheet can be produced in thicknesses of 0,36 mm and thicker (normally up to 4,0 mm) and in widths of 600 mm and over in coils or cut lengths. It is recognized that materials thinner than 0,36 mm or thicker than 4,0 mm can be suitable for electrolytic zinc coating, and, if required, be the subject of agreement between the interested parties. The thickness of zinc-coated
