(Main)Continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip for cold forming - Technical delivery conditions
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard specifies the grades of continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip (in coils) for cold forming.
Depending on its actual width, strip is classified as:
- hot rolled wide strip if its width is greater than or equal to 600 mm;
- hot rolled slit wide strip if its width is less than 600 mm.
For each grade, it specifies the chemical composition and the mechanical properties.
This European Standard is applicable to products of thickness not less than 1,0 mm and not exceeding 11 mm.
This European Standard is not applicable to products covered by other standards, such as:
- hot rolled products of non-alloy structural steels for general use (see EN 10025 all parts);
- steel sheet for pressure purposes (see EN 10028 all parts);
- steel sheet for welded gas cylinders (see EN 10120);
- quenched and tempered steels (see EN 10083-1 and EN 10083-2).

Overview
oSIST prEN 10111:2026:2026 is a draft European Standard developed by CEN for continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip intended for cold forming applications. This standard defines the technical delivery conditions, including the classification, designation, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of steel sheet and strip supplied in coils. It covers products with a thickness ranging from 0.8 mm to 25 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of manufacturing and forming processes.
Steel strip is classified depending on its width:
- Hot rolled wide strip (width ≥ 600 mm)
- Hot rolled slit wide strip (width < 600 mm)
oSIST prEN 10111:2026 ensures consistent quality and performance for end-users, while providing clear guidelines for manufacturers and purchasers across Europe.
Key Topics
- Steel Grades: The standard defines four main grades (DD11, DD12, DD13, DD14), each distinguished by specific chemical composition and mechanical properties suitable for varying degrees of cold formability.
- Product Classification and Designation: Provides a standardized system for naming products based on EN 10027-1 and EN 10027-2 for both symbolic and numerical designations.
- Delivery Conditions: Covers requirements such as surface finish (as-rolled or descaled), oiling, trimmed edges, and protection against corrosion during storage and transportation.
- Mechanical Properties: Specifies tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation requirements for different thicknesses, ensuring suitability for forming.
- Surface Characteristics: Sets the limit for permissible surface imperfections, ensuring usability in demanding forming and processing operations.
- Suitability for Coating and Welding: Includes guidelines for specifying requirements for downstream applications such as metallic coating or welding.
- Testing and Inspection: Details mandatory and optional inspection regimes, test methods (in alignment with EN ISO 6892-1), and sampling requirements, supporting quality assurance.
- Marking and Documentation: Outlines requirements for identification, marking, and provision of inspection documents as per EN 10204.
Applications
oSIST prEN 10111:2026:2026 is widely applicable in industries that rely on high-quality steel sheet and strip for further processing through cold forming techniques such as stamping, bending, and deep drawing. Key sectors and uses include:
- Automotive manufacturing – for body panels, structural parts, and components that require deep drawing and precision forming.
- Appliance production – in making washing machines, refrigerators, and consumer goods that demand consistent surface quality and mechanical properties.
- Construction industry – for roofing, cladding, and structural components subject to secondary forming processes.
- General engineering and fabrication – suitable for applications where reliable cold formable steel is required.
The standard supports efficient procurement, reliable supply chains, and harmonized product specifications throughout Europe, ensuring that users receive material fit for purpose in demanding manufacturing environments.
Related Standards
For comprehensive application and correct material selection, oSIST prEN 10111:2026 works alongside other essential steel standards, including:
- EN 10025 (all parts) - Hot rolled products of non-alloy structural steels for general use
- EN 10028 (all parts) - Steel sheet for pressure purposes
- EN 10120 - Steel sheet and strip for welded gas cylinders
- EN 10083-1 and EN 10083-2 - Quenched and tempered steels
- EN 10021 - General technical delivery conditions for steel products
- EN ISO 6892-1 - Metallic materials – Tensile testing at room temperature
- EN 10051:2024 - Tolerances on dimensions and shape
- EN 10204 - Types of inspection documents
Referencing these related standards ensures the correct application of oSIST prEN 10111:2026:2026 within the broader context of steel product standards and regulations.
Continuously hot rolled low carbon steel sheet and strip for cold forming remains a key material for efficient, economical, and high-quality manufacture across a range of sectors under the clear technical guidance of oSIST prEN 10111:2026:2026.

4 Classification and designation
4.1 Classification
The choice of steel grade and product type is left to the purchaser. For this choice, the purchaser may
be advised by the manufacturer, but without any liability on the part of the latter, unless agreed at the
time of enquiry and order.
Hot rolled products are clàssified into four grades DD11, DD12, DD13 and DD14 defined by chemical
