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. SIST EN 10027-1:2016
EN10027-1:2016 (E) 6
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. 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/TC100 shall be consulted and shall advise accordingly. 5 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. 6 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). 7 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. SIST EN 10027-1:2016
EN10027-1:2016 (E) 7
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 (+). 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.

1 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 These rules may be applied to non-standardized steels.
1.4 A system of numerical designation of steels known as steel numbers is specified in
EN 10027-2.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)

4 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.

kSIST FprEN 10027-1:2016
FprEN10027-1:2016 (E)
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.
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/TC100 shall be
consulted and shall advise accordingly.
5 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.
6 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).
7 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.

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 (+).
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.
