This European Standard, a part of the BS EN 10163 series, specifies the delivery requirements which apply to the surface condition of hot-rolled plates and surface condition of the faces of wide flats with thicknesses of 3 mm ≤ t ≤ 400 mm.
This European Standard, in addition to BS EN 10163-1, covers general, classification, depth and affected area of discontinuities, and repair requirements.
An annex to this standard provides information on classes and their subclasses for surface conditions with their respective requirements.
