be withdrawn at the latest by January 2018.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.

This document supersedes EN 10028-3:2009.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of Directive 2014/68/EU.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements for flat products for pressure equipment made of
weldable fine grain steels as specified in Table 1.
NOTE 1 Fine grain steels are understood as steels with a ferritic grain size of 6 or finer when tested in
accordance with EN ISO 643.

The requirements and definitions of EN 10028-1:2017 also apply.

NOTE 2 Once this European Standard is published in the EU Official Journal (OJEU) under Directive
2014/68/EU, presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) of Directive 2014/68/EU is
limited to technical data of materials in this European Standard (Part 1 and the other relevant part of the series)
and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of equipment. Consequently, the assessment of
the technical data stated in this material standard against the design requirements of this specific item of
equipment to verify that the ESRs of Directive 2014/68/EU are satisfied, needs to be done.

2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Annex A
(normative)

Evaluation of resistance to hydrogen induced cracking

The tests to evaluate the resistance of steel products to hydrogen induced cracking shall be performed
in accordance with EN 10229 . The acceptance criteria for the test solution A (with pH ≈ 3 ) apply for the
classes indicated in Table A.1 where the given values are mean values from three individual test results.
Test solution B (with pH ≈ 5 ) and corresponding acceptance criteria may be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order.

Information on welding

Information on welding is given in EN 1011-1 and EN 1011-2.

Excessive post weld heat treatment (PWHT) conditions can decrease the mechanical properties. When
in stress relieving the intended time temperature parameter

= Ts 20 + lg t ) x 10 −3

Ts is the stress relieving temperature in K, and

t is the holding time in hours,

— 16,3 in the case of steel grades P420NL1, P420NL2, P460NL1 and P460NL2,

the purchaser should in his enquiry and order inform the manufacturer accordingly and, where
appropriate, tests on simulated heat treated samples may be agreed to check whether after such a
treatment the properties specified in this European Standard can still be regarded as valid in
accordance with the essential safety requirements of the PED.

10) a new Option 13 for limited Cu, Sn-contents was defined;

11) the information on weldability and the note in 8.2.4 was moved to Annex B;

12) the correlation in Annex ZA between the clause of this European Standard and the essential
requirements of the Directive 2014/68/EU have been updated;

13) clarification on various technical requirements.

Annex ZA
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential

Requirements of Directive 2014/68/EU aimed to be covered

This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request M/071 to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to Essential Requirements of Directive 2014/68/EU.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding Essential Requirements
of Directive 2014/68/EU, and associated EFTA regulations.

2014/68/EU

procedures
4.3 9.1 Inspection documentation

WARNING 1 — Presumption of conformity stays valid only as long as a reference to this European
Standard is maintained in the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Users of this
standard should consult frequently the latest list published in the Official Journal of the European
Union.

WARNING 2 — Other Union legislation may be applicable to the product(s) falling within the scope of
this standard.
