No information for other steel material and products is provided in this National Annex.

NA 2.3 Clause 3.2.1 (1) Material properties

The nominal values of the yield strength f y and the ultimate strength f u for structural steel

standard.

NA 2.4 Clause 3.2.2 (1) Ductility requirements

The following recommended requirements should be used:
f u / f y 1,10;
