BS EN 10326:2004 specifies requirements for continuously hot-dip coated products made of structural steels coated with zinc (Z), zinc-iron alloy (ZF), zinc-aluminium alloy (ZA), aluminium-zinc alloy (AZ) and aluminium-silicon alloy (AS) with thicknesses from 0.35 mm up to 3.0 mm unless otherwise agreed. The thickness is the final thickness of the delivered product after coating.
This standard applies to strip of all widths and to sheets cut from it (greater than or equal to 600 mm width) and cut lengths (< 600 mm width).
This standard may also be applied to continuously hot-dip coated flat products in thicknesses > 3.0 mm.
The products covered by this standard are mainly used where minimum yield strength and corrosion resistance are the most important factors.
This standard is not applicable to:
- continuously hot-dip coated flat products of low-carbon steel strip and sheet for cold forming
- electrolytic galvanized cold rolled steel flat products
- continuously organic coated (coil coated) flat steel products
- continuously hot-dip coated strip and sheet of steels with higher yield strength for cold forming.

This standard applies to strips of all widths and to sheets cut from it (≥ 600 mm width) and cut lengths (< 600 mm width). If agreed at the time of enquiry and order, this document may also be applied to continuously hot-dip coated flat products in thicknesses > 3.0 mm. In this case the mechanical property, adhesion of coating and surface condition requirements shall also be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
The products covered by BS EN 10326 are mainly used where minimum yield strength and corrosion resistance are the most important factors.
This document is not applicable to continuously hot-dip coated flat products of low carbon steel strips and sheets for cold forming; electrolytic galvanized cold rolled steel flat products; continuously organic coated (coil coated) flat steel products; continuously hot-dip coated strips and sheets of steels with higher yield strength for cold forming.
