Full Description

BS EN 10202 discusses cold reduced tinmill products with a focus on electrolytic tinplate and electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide coated steel. BS EN 10202 specifies requirements for tinmill products in the form of sheets or coils. Tinmill products consist of single and double reduced low carbon mild steel electrolytically coated with either tin (tinplate) or chromium/chromium oxide (ECCS) or (ECCS-RC).

Single reduced tinmill products are specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm from 0,16 mm up to and including 0,49 mm. Double reduced tinmill products are specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm from 0,12 mm up to and including 0,29 mm. BS EN 10202 applies to coils and sheets cut from coils in nominal minimum widths of 600 mm.
