This European Standard specifies requirements for blackplate product in the form of coils intended for direct use and mostly for the production of tinplate, electrolytically chromium / chromium oxide plate (ECCS) and electrolytically zinc coated plate.
Blackplate is specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm from typical 0,10 mm up to 0,60mm.
This European Standard applies to coils in nominal minimum widths of 600 mm.
In addition to this standard the general technical delivery conditions of EN 10021 apply.
NOTE Standard width coils for specific uses, e.g. tab stock, can be slit into narrow strip for supply in coil form.
