It applies to products with a thickness from 2,5 mm up to and including 400 mm. It does not apply to semi-finished rolled products in coiled form to be subjected to further rolling (reroll stock) or to special products such as corrugated, embossed, etc. sheet and strip or to special applications such as aerospace which are dealt with in separate European Standards. Technical conditions for inspection and delivery of products covered by this standard are specified in EN 485-1.
