This European Standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for hot rolled weldable steel bars for the
construction of pressure equipment for use at elevated temperatures.
The general technical delivery conditions in EN 10021 also apply to products supplied in accordance with this
European Standard.
NOTE Once this European Standard is published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) under Directive
97/23/EC, presumption of conformity to the Essential Safety Requirements (ESRs) of Directive 97/23/EC is limited to
technical data of materials in this European Standard and does not presume adequacy of the material to a specific item of
equipment. Consequently, the assessment of the technical data stated in this matedal standard against the design
requirements of this specific item of equipment to verify that the ESRs of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC are
satisfied, needs to be done.
