It deals with the structure of steel numbers and the organization for their registration allocation and dissemination.

Application is optional for national steels and proprietary steels, NOTE, Although the scope ofthe system tte 9 seo ‘is structured so at 1 be capable of being extended 10 Include other tedustsally produced matestale 1.2 Steel numbers established according to this, system have a fixed number of digits (see clause 8. ‘They are better suited for data processing than steel names established according to EN 10027-1 1.3 Forsteels specified in European Standards the application for allocation of stvel numbers (see A.6 to A.) is the responsibility of the ECISS Technical Committee concemed.
