European standard NF EN 10027
The European standard EN 10027 on the steel designation system has replaced the various corresponding national standards. In France, NF A 02-005 has been replaced by NF EN 10027 since 1992.
This standard consists of two parts:
NF EN 10027-1 : symbolic designation ;
NF EN 10027-2: numerical designation.
Here we summarize the main provisions of standard NF EN 10027 concerning unalloyed and low-alloy steels.
