National foreword
This British Standard is the official English language version of
EN 10162:2003. It supersedes BS 2994:1976 which is withdrawn.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
ISE/10, Flat rolled steel products, which has the responsibility to:
— aid enquirers to understand the text;
— present to the responsible international/European committee any
enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the
UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.

by endorsement, at the latest by October 2003, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by October 2003.

Annex A is normative and annex B is informative.

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies dimensional and cross-sectional tolerances for cold rolled steel sections produced
on roll-forming machines.

It applies to cold-rolled sections for general use (standard sections) produced from steels conforming to EN 1 0025,
EN 1 01 42 and EN 1 01 47 and in the form of rectangular L, U, C, Z and Omega cross sections as well as split tubes
(see Figures 1 to 6).

It also applies to cold rolled sections for special applications (special sections) produced from steels listed in clause 5
with other radii, tolerances and shapes.

NOTE Examples of special sections are sections for steel-framed buildings, door frames and sections for rolling stock,
automobiles and bridge engineering (see Figures 7 and 8).

This European Standard does not apply to drawn, pressed or folded cold formed sections, cold rolled steel piling or
sections manufactured on the basis of special standards.

2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 1 0020:2000, EN 1 0021 :1 993,
EN 1 0079:1 992, EN 1 0204:1 991 , EN ISO 377:1 997, EN ISO 1 4284:2002 and the following apply:

3.1
cold rolled sections
products of various shapes having a constant cross section over their entire length. They are produced from hot or
cold rolled flat products (with or without surface coatings) by purely cold forming without significantly affecting the
thickness of the original flat product (e.g. by cold rolling, drawing, pressing, pressbreaking)

3.2
split tube
cold rolled steel section which is not produced from a tube

4 Designation
4.1 Designation of cold rolled sections for general applications
4.1 .1 General
Standard sections shall be designated in accordance with 4.1 .2 and 4.1 .3.

NOTE The designation of standard sections does not require drawings.

4.1 .2 Section details

For a complete designation of rectangular cold rolled sections the following details shall be given in the indicated
sequence (see Figures 1 to 6) :

a) description of the form of the section (e.g. L, U, C, Z, Omega or split tube);

b) all side lengths in chain (outer dimensions see Figures 1 to 6). In case the width of flanges or lips of a section
are unequal the larger one shall be stated first. For split tubes, see 4.1 .3;

c) wall thickness in mm (separated from the side dimensions by a multiplication sign x);

d) ID letters for the required edge, (NK = mill edge, GK = sheared edge; see also 6.2);

e) length description (standard, fixed or exact lengths) ;

f) length in mm when fixed or exact lengths of section are to be supplied (see 6.3 and 7.4.3);

g) number of the present standard EN 1 01 62;

h) designation of the steel grade or the steel number (see clause 5);

i) number of the European Standard which covers the steel grade under h).

4.1 .3 Designation of split tubes

In the case of split tubes dimension of height and width shall be stated only once (see example in 4.1 .4 d).

NOTE This assumes that the gap is in the middle of a narrow side and the width of the gap does not exceed 1 x t (t = wall thickness).
Details of the designation of other split tubes are given in 4.2.
