ÖNORM EN 10027-2

This European Standard specifies a numbering system, referred to as steel numbers, for the designation of steel grades. It deals with the structure of steel numbers and the organization for their registration, allocation and dissemination. Such steel numbers are complementary to steel names set out in EN 10027-1. This European Standard is applicable to steels specified in European Standards. This European Standard may be applied to national steels and proprietary steels. Steel numbers established in accordance with this system have a fixed number of digits. They are better suited for data processing than steel names established in accordance with EN 10027-1. For steels specified in European Standards the application for allocation of steel numbers is the responsibility of the ECISS Technical Committee concerned. For national steel grades, the responsibility is that of the national competent body.
