scope:

This European Standard specifies requirements for tolerances for hot rolled non-alloy and alloy steel plates+) including stainless steels with the following characteristics:

a) nominal thickness: ≥ 3 mm ≤ 250mm;

b) nominal width: ≥ 600 mm;

c) specified minimum yield strength: < 700 N/mm².

Tolerances for products of width ≤ 600 mm cut or slit from plate should be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser at the time of enquiry and order.

This European Standard does not apply to round plates +), sketch plates+), chequer or raised-droplet pattern floor plates +) and wide flats for which other EURONORMs exist or European Standards dealing with tolerances on products of steel are being prepared:

- Tolerances on dimensions, shape and mass for hot-roiled wide flats of steel (see EURONORM 91) ¹).

¹⁾ Until this EURONORM is transformed into a European Standard, it can either be implemented or reference made to the corresponding national standard, the list of which is given in annex A to this European Standard.
