by decision of the Director General of AFNOR on October 20, 2005 taking effect on November 20, 2005. Replaces the approved standard NF EN 10027-1, dated November 1992 and the published document FD CR 10260, dated June 1998 cancelled in May 2005.
Correspondence Analysis
The European standard EN 10027-1:2005 has the status of French standard.
This document sets out rules for the designation systems for steels by means of symbolic letters and numbers to express application and principal characteristics, e.g. mechanical, physical, chemical, so as to provide an abbreviated identification of steel grades.
NOTEIn English, the designations defined by this document are called "steel names", "designations symboliques" in French, "Kurznamen" in German.
This document applies to steels specified in the European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR), and the national standards of the CEN members. These rules can also apply to steels that are not defined in standards. A numerical designation system for steel known as "steel numbers" is specified in NF EN 10027-2.

Foreword
This European Standard (EN 10027-1:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 7 Conventional designation of steel, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2006. This European Standard supersedes CR 10260:1998 and EN 10027-1:1992. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 10027-1:2005 (E)
Scope
1.1 This European Standard specifies rules for designating steels by means of symbolic letters and numbers to express application and principal characteristics, e.g. mechanical, physical, chemical, so as to provide an abbreviated identification of steels.
NOTE In the English language the designations covered by this European Standard are known as steel names; in the French language as designation symbolique; in the German language as Kurznamen.
1.2 This European Standard applies to steels specified in European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS), Technical Reports (TR) and CEN member's national standards. 1.3 1.4 These rules may be applied to non-standardized steels. A system of numerical designation of steels known as steel numbers is specified in EN 10027-2.
Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 10020:2000, Definition and classification of grades of steel EN 10027-2, Designation systems for steels - Part 2: Numerical system EN 10079:1992, Definition of steel products
Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 10020:2000 and EN 10079:1992 apply.
Principles
4.1 A unique steel name

There shall be one unique steel name for each steel.
4.2 Formulation of steel names

Steel names allocated in accordance with this European Standard shall comprise principal symbols as specified in 7.1. In order to avoid ambiguity, it may be necessary to supplement these principal symbols by additional symbols identifying additional characteristics of the steel or steel product, e.g. suitability for use at high or low temperatures, surface condition, treatment condition, de-oxidation. These additional symbols are given in 7.2. Unless otherwise specified in this European Standard the symbols used in the steel name shall be written without spaces.
4.3 Allocation of steel names

4.3.1 For steels specified in European Standards (EN), Technical Specifications (TS) and Technical Reports (TR), steel names shall be allocated by the ECISS Technical Committee concerned.
EN 10027-1:2005 (E)
4.3.2 For steels specified in CEN member's national standards and for other steels, steel names shall be allocated by or under the responsibility of the national standards body concerned. So as to avoid a variety of steel names being assigned to essentially the same steel, the European Registration Office as provided for in EN 10027-2 shall, when a steel number is applied for, cooperate with the national standards body concerned to ensure uniform steel names.
4.4 Consultation
Where there are difficulties or disputes in establishing steel names ECISS/TC7 shall be consulted and shall advise accordingly.
Reference to product standards
The complete designation of a steel product where quoted in orders or similar contractual documents shall include, in addition to the steel name, an indication of the technical delivery requirement in which the steel is specified. For steels specified in standards this shall be the reference number of the relevant product standard. Details of the structures of the steel name for the steel or steel product shall be provided in the relevant product or dimensional standard.
Classification of steel names
For the purposes of designation, steel names are classified into two main categories: Category 1: steels designated according to their application and mechanical or physical properties (see 7.3). Category 2: steels designated according to their chemical composition (see 7.4).
Structure of steel names
7.1 Principal symbols

Principal symbols for steels designated according to steel application and its mechanical and physical properties shall be assigned in accordance with 7.3. Principal symbols for steels designated according to the chemical composition of the steel shall be assigned in accordance with 7.4. Where a steel is specified in the form of a steel casting, its name as specified in Tables 1 to 15 shall be preceded by the letter G. Where a steel is produced by powder metallurgy, its name as specified in Tables 14 and 15 shall be preceded by the letters PM.
EN 10027-1:2005 (E)
7.2 Additional symbols

Additional symbols may be added to the principal symbols and assigned in accordance with 7.3 and 7.4. Additional symbols are divided into two groups, i.e. group 1 and group 2 (see 7.3 and 7.4). If the symbols for group 1 are inadequate to describe the steel fully, then additional symbols from group 2 may be added. Symbols of group 2 shall only be used in conjunction with and follow symbols of group 1. Further additional symbols for steel products may follow the additional symbols of group 1 and group 2 and shall be selected in accordance with 7.3 and 7.4 from tables 16, 17 and 18. These symbols shall be separated from preceding symbols by the plus sign (+).
NOTE Additional symbols selected from Tables 16, 17 and 18 may be added to steel numbers allocated in accordance with EN 10027-2 and, when used, separated from the steel number by the plus sign (+).
7.3 Steels designated according to their application and mechanical or physical properties
The designation of steel according to their application and mechanical or physical properties shall be made in accordance with Table 1 to Table 11.
