Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 630-2:2011), which has been technically
1a55dbc5eda2/iso-fdis-630-2
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— applicable thickness ranges have been added in the scope;
— additional terms and definitions concerning heat treatments have been deleted because ISO 4885 is
in normative references of ISO 630-1;
— list of options has been integrated in ISO 630-1;
— test units have been updated;
— in Tables, the designation concerning thickness have been changed into “nominal thickness”;
— bibliography has been updated;
— the content of the document has been updated to harmonize with all parts of ISO 630.
A list of all parts in the ISO 630 series can be found on the ISO website.

Technical delivery conditions for structural steels for
general purposes
1 Scope
This document specifies qualities for steels for general structural use. This document applies to steel
plates rolled on a reversing mill, wide flats, hot-rolled sections and bars, which are used in the as-
delivered condition and normally intended for welded or bolted structures.
This document covers 8 steel grades and 4 qualities. Grades S235, S275, S355, and S460 are covered in
Annex A. Grades SG205, SG250, SG285 and SG345 are covered in Annex B. Not all grades are available in
all qualities, and some qualities have Charpy V‑notch requirements.
The steels specified in this document are applicable to hot-rolled flat products and sections with :
— thicknesses ≥ 3 mm and ≤ 150 mm for long products of steel grade S460 all qualities
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
— thicknesses ≥ 3 mm and ≤ 250 mm for long products or ≤ 400 mm for flat products of all other
grades and qualities (standards.iteh.ai)
and no restriction on nominal thickness ISO/FDIS for grades SG205, SG250, SG285, and SG345 for flat products,

NOTE 1 Lists of standards covered by ISO/TC 17/SC 12 and ISO/TC 5/SC 1 are available on the ISO Web site.
NOTE 2 In all parts of ISO 630, the term of "thickness" is considered as "nominal thickness", unless
otherwise stated.
