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 ≤ 250 mm;

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-rolled wide flats of steel

(see EURONORM91)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.
