This European Standard specifies requirements for tolerances for hot rolled non-alloy and alloy steel plates including stainless steels, with the following characteristics: a) nominal thickness >= 3mm <=250 mm; b) nominal width >= 600 mm ; c) specified minimum yield strength > 700 N/mm2. Tolerances for products of width < 600 mm cut or slit from plate should be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser at the time of enquiry and order.
