It is applicable to flat product in nominal thickness range of 6 mm to 200 mm of non-alloyed or alloyed steel, excluding austenitic or austenoferrtic steels. However, this standard may be applied to the latter types of steels provided that the difference between the amplitude of the noise signal and that of the echo detection threshold is sufficient forthe limit fixed, This standard also defines four quality classes for the flat product body (classes Sp, Sy, S2 and S;) and 5 ‘lasses (Eo, E1, Ea, Es, E,) for the edges in accordance with the criteria specified in clause 9.
