EN 10088 Standards: Technical Guide

Overview of the European standard EN 10088

The EN 10088 standard is a fundamental document for manufacturers and suppliers of metal products, regulating the nomenclature, chemical composition, and technical delivery conditions for corrosion-resistant stainless steels. Experts at EV Group China have prepared a structured breakdown of all five parts of the standard to ensure the precise selection of materials for specific engineering tasks.

EN 10088-1 – List of stainless steels

The first part of the standard classifies stainless steels according to their functional purpose: corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and creep-resisting. The document defines the chemical composition of the alloys and provides reference physical properties (modulus of elasticity, density, coefficient of thermal expansion).

EN 10088-2 – Technical delivery conditions for sheet/plate

Regulates the production of hot-rolled and cold-rolled sheets, plates, and strips made of corrosion-resistant steels. EV Group China supplies rolled products that meet the requirements of this standard for general mechanical engineering and the food industry.

EN 10088-3 – Bars, rods, and sections

This part establishes parameters for semi-finished products, including bars, rods, and cold-drawn wire. The standard ensures uniformity of requirements for surface quality and geometric tolerances for structural components.

EN 10088-4 – Sheet/plate for construction purposes

A specialized part for the construction sector. EV Group China offers corrosion-resistant steels compliant with EN 10088-4, ensuring the required durability of load-bearing and building envelope structures.

EN 10088-5 – Bars, rods, and sections for construction purposes

Regulates the supply of bars, profiles, and rods used in structural metalwork. It accounts for requirements regarding mechanical properties during service in various climatic conditions.
