ÖNORM EN 10169-1

1.1 This European Standard provides information on the selection and ordering of continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products and specifies appropriate technical requirements for the products, e.g. for test methods and tolerances on coating thickness, appearance, and product dimensions and shape. This European Standard applies to rolled steel flat products, with or without metallic coatings, that are continuously organic coated by the coil coating process. This European Standard applies to strip of all widths and to sheets cut from it (
 mm width) and cut lengths (< 600 mm width). 1.2 The products covered by this European Standard may be used to advantage in cases where corrosion resistance and decorative appearance are of primary importance. They have applications throughout the flat products processing industry, e.g. in the building construction, automotive, appliances, furniture and technical packaging industries. Coil coated steel flat products may be delivered in numerous type and grades, depending on the base material used (various grades of steel with or without metallic coating), on the coating material and coating type and on the requirements for the surface appearance, the formability and general performance. The properties of the products may vary within greater or smaller limits depending on the choice and combination of the characteristics mentioned and the time of storage. 1.3 For specific applications of coil coated steel flat products ENV 10169-2 and EN 10169-3 apply. 1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to continuously organic coated tin mill flat products, electrical steels, steel strapping.
