SIST EN 10346:2026 is the Slovenian standard from SIST for continuously hot-dip coated steel flat products for cold forming. It specifies technical delivery conditions for low carbon steels, steels for construction, steels with high proof strength and multiphase steels, with zinc, zinc-iron alloy, zinc-aluminium alloy, zinc-magnesium alloy, aluminium-silicon alloy or aluminium coatings. Engineers, buyers and quality teams use SIST EN 10346:2026 to agree the steel grade, coating, mechanical properties, surface condition, inspection and delivery details for strip, sheet and cut lengths.
What does SIST EN 10346:2026 specify?
SIST EN 10346:2026 covers continuously hot-dip coated flat products in thicknesses from 0.20 mm to 6.5 mm. It also allows, by agreement at enquiry and order, an expanded validity range below 0.20 mm with agreed mechanical properties, test specimens, coating adhesion and surface condition requirements.
SIST EN 10346:2026 applies to strip of all widths, sheets cut from strip with widths of 600 mm and above, and cut lengths below 600 mm. The note in the scope links the products to cold formability, high strength, minimum yield strength and corrosion resistance, and identifies them as potential substrates for organic coated flat products according to EN 10169.
The document is organized into clauses on scope, normative references, terms and definitions, classification and designation, purchaser information, manufacturing and processing, requirements, inspection, marking, packing, and storage and transportation.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Reference method for determining the coating mass of zinc, zinc-iron, zinc-aluminium and zinc-magnesium coatings |
| Annex B | Reference method for determining the coating mass of aluminium-silicon and aluminium coatings |
| Annex C | Reference method for determining the mass of the Al-Fe-Si alloy layer |
| Annex D | Tensile test results and coating impact |
| Annex E | Steel designations for multiphase steels for cold forming |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 10346:2026?
Product families and designation
SIST EN 10346:2026 groups the products into low carbon steels for cold forming, steels for construction, steels with high proof strength for cold forming, and multiphase steels for cold forming. It classifies them by forming ability, minimum proof strength or minimum tensile strength, depending on the family.
This matters because the grade family drives the expected forming behaviour and the way the product is specified. The steel names and steel numbers follow EN 10027-1 and EN 10027-2, so purchasers can order the exact grade and coating combination instead of describing the product loosely.
Chemical composition and mechanical properties
SIST EN 10346:2026 gives the cast analysis limits in Tables 1 to 5 and, when agreed, the permitted deviations for product analysis in Table 6. It also sets mechanical property requirements in Tables 7 to 11, with different values for low carbon steels, construction steels, high proof strength steels and multiphase steels.
In practice, this means the purchaser can ask for verification of the product analysis, and the manufacturer must control the steel chemistry against the table limits. For mechanical testing, the document ties the required tensile properties to the product family, thickness range and test direction, and it also covers plastic strain ratio r, strain hardening exponent n and, where relevant, bake-hardening index BH.
SIST EN 10346:2026 also states when properties remain valid after the agreed date of availability. That is important for storage and inventory control, because some grades keep their specified properties only for a limited time after delivery.
Coatings, coating mass and surface condition
SIST EN 10346:2026 allows coatings identified as Z, ZF, ZA, ZM, AS and A, and Table 12 gives the standard coating masses. The document also allows other coating masses or different masses on each surface if agreed at enquiry and order.
This matters because coating mass affects corrosion resistance, but thicker coatings can reduce formability and weldability. The standard therefore links the coating choice to the intended process and service environment, and it requires the coating mass to be checked by a triple spot test or, where applicable, a single spot test.
The coating finish and surface quality are also controlled. For zinc-coated products the finish can be normal spangle N or minimized spangle M, while surface qualities A, B and C describe increasing control of appearance and suitability for paint finishing. Surface treatment can be chemically passivated C, oiled O, chemically passivated and oiled CO, phosphated P, phosphated and oiled PO, or sealed S.
Inspection, sampling and delivery
SIST EN 10346:2026 makes non-specific inspection the default unless the order asks for specific testing and inspection documents. It refers to EN 10204 for inspection documents and sets a test unit of up to 30 t, or a fraction of 30 t, of the same grade, thickness, coating mass and surface condition.
The document specifies sampling, tensile testing, r and n determinations, bake-hardening testing, surface inspection and coating mass testing. In disputes, the coating mass is checked by the reference methods in Annex A, B or C. This matters for acceptance testing, incoming inspection and supplier quality claims.
What terms does SIST EN 10346:2026 define?
- Nominal (specified) thickness - the ordered thickness of the metallic coated product, including both the steel core and the coating.
- Steel core thickness - the nominal thickness minus the metallic coating layers; this is the design thickness used for calculations in EN 1993-1-3.
- Coating mass - the total mass of coating on both surfaces, expressed in g/m², and used together with the coating symbol to identify the coating.
- Bake-hardening steel (B) - a steel that increases in proof strength after heating in the defined bake-hardening condition.
- Dual-phase steel with improved formability (XH) - a dual-phase steel mainly made of ferrite and martensite with small amounts of bainite and retained austenite.
- Complex-phase steel with improved formability (CH) - a steel mainly made of martensite, bainite and retained austenite.
- Transformation induced plasticity steel (T) - a ferritic steel containing retained austenite that transforms during forming, increasing work hardening.
- Steel for construction - a steel with minimum strength levels and no special demand for suitability for cold forming.
Who uses SIST EN 10346:2026?
SIST EN 10346:2026 is used by steel producers, coil coaters, fabricators, purchasers and inspection laboratories that buy, make or test hot-dip coated flat products for cold forming. It is also used by quality managers and buyers who need to specify grade, coating, surface quality, inspection documents and packaging in an order.
The standard is relevant where cold formability, strength, corrosion resistance and controlled surface appearance matter. The scope and notes point to building and general engineering applications, and the product designations also support users who need advanced high strength steels for forming and subsequent processing.
What changed in SIST EN 10346:2026 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 10346:2026 replaces EN 10346:2015. The foreword lists these significant changes:
- the scope and normative references were updated;
- EN 10373, EN 1090-4, EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1993-1-3 were added as normative references;

What does the SIST EN 10346:2026 document contain?
SIST EN 10346:2026 contains composition tables, mechanical property tables, coating mass tables, coating finish and surface quality tables, inspection rules and delivery information. Tables 1 to 6 set chemistry, Tables 7 to 11 set mechanical properties, Table 12 sets coating masses, and Tables 13 to 15 set surface finish and quality combinations.
It also contains the specimen and test provisions needed for quality control, including tensile test setup, r and n determination, bake-hardening index testing, surface inspection and coating mass measurement. Annex D adds a figure comparing three tensile test calculation methods on coated steel, and Annex E maps the multiphase steel names and numbers to VDA 239-100 designations.
For coating mass disputes, Annex A, Annex B and Annex C provide the reference chemical methods. The document therefore supports specification, production control, acceptance testing and supplier documentation without reproducing the full normative tables in the ordering process.

6 Manufacturing and processing
6.1 Manufacturing
Unless there are restrictions by the selected steel grade, the processes used in steelmaking and the
manufacture of the products shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer.
6.2 Processing
6.2.1 Ageing
Due to ageing, a reduction in formability can take place for all the products supplied according to this
document. Coil breaks or fluting can occur additionally during processing. The risk of coil breaks
increases, especially for thicknesses > 0,9 mm, with the duration of storage.
oSIST prEN 10346:2025
prEN 10346:2025 (E)
Therefore the user should process the products after their receipt as quick as possible (see 7.2.1.3).
6.2.2 Coating appearance
The coating surface can vary and change to a dark appearance by oxidation.
Due to ageing of the coating a certain cracking of the surface can appear during processing which can
consequently reduce abrasion resistance.
The user should take these characteristics into account.
6.2.3 Surface protection
Regarding surface protection during transport and storage the following should be taken into
consideration:
— Only a temporary corrosion resistance during transportation or storage is provided by any surface
protection applied. Colour changes can occur.
— In particular, protection by oiling is dependent on storage time. The primarily uniform oil film
becomes more and more unequal, and bare spots can develop. Different oils can show different
behaviour.
7 Requirements
7.1 Chemical composition
The chemical composition according to the cast analysis shall be as specified in Tables 1 to 5.
If a product analysis is agreed at the time of enquiry and order, the permitted deviations from the cast
analysis given in Tables 1 to 5 shall meet the requirements in Table 6.
