scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously electrolytic zinc coated cold rolled flat products of low carbon steels suitable for cold forming according to Table 1 in rolled widths . 600 mm and thicknesses from 0,35 mm up to and including 3 mm, delivered as strip (in coil form), sheet, slit strip or cut lengths obtained from slit strip or sheet. NOTE 1 This European Standard can also be applied to continuously electrolytic zinc coated flat products of a) steels according to EN 10139 (cold rolled strip in rolled widths < 600 mm), b) steels normally characterized by minimum yield strength or minimum tensile strength values in addition to formability parameters, e. g. . steels with high yield strength and improved formability according to EN 10268 (cold rolled flat products), . multiphase steels (cold rolled or hot rolled) according to prEN 10338, . steels for construction according to national or regional standards (see e. g. DIN 1623). NOTE 2 By agreement at the time of enquiry and order this European Standard can be applied to continuously electrolytic zinc coated hot-rolled steel flat products (e.g. according to EN 10025-1 and -2, EN 10111, EN 10149-1 to EN 10149-3, etc.). NOTE 3 As the mass of the zinc coating applied is relatively small, the material is not intended to withstand outside exposure without further chemical treatment and painting.
