EN 10083-1 1.1178 Introduce

In accordance with the EN 10083-1 1.1178 standard, the steel must have a specific product designator affixed to the product by the manufacturer that identifies key properties of the steel. This designator often includes information about the grade, composition, manufacturer, and manufacturing process. The designation must meet the requirements outlined in ISO 6929, which includes a set of criteria (such as the size of letters and typeset used) that must be followed in order for the product designation to be valid and clear.
