                       of the zinc-nickel coating mass and the
                       zinc-nickel coating composition

This European Standard specifies requirements for continuously electrolytic zinc-nickel coated cold rolled flat products of low carbon steels suitable for cold forming according to table 1 and table 2 in rolled widths >= 600 mm and thicknesses from 0,35 mm up to and including 3 mm, delivered as strip (in coil form), sheet, slit strip or cut lengths obtained from slit strip or sheet. The coating is composed of Zn with a Ni-content of 10,5% to 13%.
