This International Standard specifies requirements for single and double cold-reduced low-carbon mild
steel electrolytic tinplate in the form of sheets or coils.
Single cold-reduced tinplate is generally specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of
0,005 mm, from 0,150 mm up to and including 0,600 mm. Double cold-reduced tinplate is generally
specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm, from 0,100 mm up to and including
0,360 mm.
This International Standard applies to coils and sheets cut from coils in nominal minimum rolling
widths of 600 mm.1)
