1.1 This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip zinc coated flat products in thicknesses = 600 mm width) and cut lengths ( 3,0 mm. In this case, the mechanical property, adhesion of coating and surface condition requirements shall also be agreed at the time of ordering. 1.3 The products covered by this European Standard are suitable for applications where the minimum yield strength values and resistance to corrosion are of prime importance. Corrosion protection afforded by the coating is directly proportional to the mass of coating (see also 7.2.2). 1.4 This European Standard is not applicable to - continuously hot-dip zinc coated low carbon steel strip and sheet for cold forming (see EN 10142); - electrolytically zinc coated cold rolled steel flat products (see EN 10152); - continuously organic coated (coil coated) flat steel products (see EN 10169-1 and ENV 10169-2); - continuously hot-dip coated strip and sheet of steels with higher yield strength for cold forming (see EN 10292).
