What is BS EN 10210-3:2020 about?
This new specification is the third in a three-part series of European standards dealing with hot-finished hollow section structural steel. BS EN 10210-3:2020 covers technical delivery conditions for high strength and weather resistant sections.
Who is BS EN 10210-3:2020 for?
- Structural steel manufacturers and fabricators
- Structural steel stockholders and distributors
- Structural steel testing and assessment providers
- Relevant Notified Bodies under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
Why should you use BS EN 10210-3:2020?
It specifies technical delivery conditions for high strength and weather resistant hot-finished seamless, electric welded and submerged arc welded steel structural hollow sections of circular, square, rectangular or elliptical forms.
It applies to hollow sections formed hot, with or without subsequent heat treatment, or formed cold with subsequent heat treatment above 580 °C to obtain equivalent mechanical properties to those obtained in the hot formed product.
The standard can be used to assist customers in a very wide range of applications and can also be used for product development and commercial issues. Note that this standard includes an increased range of steel grades.
