European Standard EN 10263-4 : 2001 has the status of a DIN Standard.

A comma is used as the decimal marker.

National foreword
This standard has been prepared jointly by ECISS/TC 15 ‘Wire rod – Qualities, dimensions, tolerances and
specific tests’, ECISS/TC 23 ‘Steel for heat treatment, alloy steels and free-cutting steels – Qualities’, and
ECISS/TC 30 ‘Steel wires’.
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Eisen und Stahl (Steel
and Iron Standards Committee), Technical Committee Kaltstauch- und Kaltfließpressstähle.
For ease of reference, the table overleaf correlates the material designations/symbols used in DIN 1654-4
with those given in the present standard.
