scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for tolerances for hot-rolled steel plates made on a reversing mill (excluding stainless steels) with the following characteristics:

a) nominal thickness > 4 mm but < 400 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 inquiry and order.

Tolerances on dimensions and shape of steel plates having a specified minimum yield stress greater than 700 N/mm² should be the subject of agreement at the time of inquiry and order.

This International Standard does not include continuous mill products, custom-made plate, checker plate or bulb plate for flooring or wide flats.

It does not apply to continuous hot-rolled steel plates as defined in specific International Standards (see ISO 4995, ISO 4996, ISO 5951, ISO 5952).
