1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip coated and electrolytically coated flat products made of multiphase steels for cold forming (see Table 1, Table 3 and Table 4) coated with zinc (Z and ZE), zinc-iron alloy (ZF) or zinc-nickel alloy (ZN) with thicknesses of 0,35 mm to 3,0 mm, unless otherwise agreed (see 1.2). The thickness is the final thickness of the delivered product after coating. This European Standard applies to strip of a width = 600 mm and sheets cut from it. 1.2 If agreed at the time of enquiry and order, this European Standard may also be applied to continuously hot-dip coated flat products of thicknesses > 3,0 mm. In this case the mechanical property, adhesion of the coating and surface condition requirements should also be agreed at the time of enquiry and order. 1.3 The products covered by this European Standard are mainly used where cold formability, high strength and corrosion resistance are the most important factors. Corrosion resistance of the coating is proportional to the coating mass (see also 7.3.5) 1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to: • continuously hot dip coated steel flat products made of low carbon steels (see EN 10327); • continuously hot-dip coated structural steel flat products (see EN 10326); • electrolytically zinc coated cold rolled steel flat products (see EN 10152); • continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products (see EN 10169-1, EN 10169-2 and EN 10169-3); • electrolytically zinc-nickel coated cold rolled steel flat products (see EN 10271); and • continuously hot-dip coated strip and sheet of steels with high yield strength for cold forming (see EN 10292).
