This European Standard applies to cold-rolled stainless, heat resisting and creep resisting steel flat products in thicknesses up to 6,5 mm and rolled widths of 600 mm up to 2100 mm, delivered as:
a) wide strip (coils with a rolled width ≥ 600 mm);
b) sheet or plate cut from wide strip;
c) slit cold-rolled wide strip;
d) cut lengths obtained from slit cold-rolled wide strip or sheet.
It does not apply to cold-rolled stainless, heat resisting and creep resisting steel narrow strip and cut lengths (rolled width < 600 mm, see EN 10258), or to cold-rolled products for which there is a specific standard.
For cold-rolled sheets, manufactured sheet by sheet, the tolerances on thickness, width and length shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
