Euronorm Standard List: Electrical Steels, Coated Steels, Castings and Forgings

The creation of the EEC (European Economic Community) has made it necessary to establish common standards named "European Norms" (EN), therefore standardizing the common language across Europe. Since 1988 a new series of 'mandatory' European standards (EN) has been created, to replace national standards, such as BS, DIN, SS and NF, throughout 18 countries of Western Europe.

The EN Designation System uses an alpha-numerical index to denote the key information about the material including mechanical properties, tensile strength and potential usage.

For more information on the EN designation system see Introduction to the Euronorm Standard Designation System.

The list of standards below cover among other things:

  • Hot-dipped coated steels for multiple uses
  • Various examples of organically coated steel wires
  • Zinc or zinc alloy coated non-alloy steel wire for armouring either power cables or telecommunication cables
