ISO 630-1:2021

Structural steels - Part 1: General technical delivery conditions for hot-rolled products

This document specifies the general technical delivery conditions for steel flat and long products (plates/ sections/wide flats and bars) used principally for general-purpose structural steels. The steels specified in this document are intended for use in welded or bolted structures.

The specific requirements for structural steels are given in the individual parts of ISO 630.

This document does not include the following structural steels, some of which are covered by other International Standards:

—    sheet and strip: refer to ISO TC 17/SC 12 “Continuous mill flat rolled products”;

—    tubular products: refer to ISO TC 5/SC 1 “Steel tubes”.

NOTE 1    Lists of standards covered by ISO/TC 17/SC 12 and ISO/TC 5/SC 1 are available on the ISO website.

NOTE 2    In all parts of ISO 630, the term of "thickness" is considered as "nominal thickness", unless otherwise stated.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
