This document specifies requirements for blackplate product in the form of coils intended for direct use and mostly for the production of electrolytically zinc coated plate, or coils electrolytically coated with either tin (tinplate) or chromium/chromium oxide (ECCS or ECCS-RC).
Blackplate can be a single or double reduced product and is specified in nominal thicknesses that are multiples of 0,005 mm from typical 0,10 mm up to 0,60 mm.
This document applies to coils in nominal minimum widths of 600 mm.
In addition to this document, the general technical delivery conditions of EN 10021 apply.
NOTE Standard width coils for specific uses, e.g. tab stock, can be slit into narrow strip for supply in coil form.

This document specifies the maximum content for alloying and residual elements (see Table 1) present in steel (usually called blackplate) used in the manufacture of packaging and packaging components or for coated steel which, as a finished product, are intended for use in direct contact with foodstuffs, products and beverages for human and pet food. For such use blackplate is normally coated but can be used uncoated for some fatty or dry products.
The main examples of use are:
— tinplate and electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide coated steel for the manufacture of food and beverage cans;
— cans for conditioning foodstuffs (sugar, tea, cake, chocolate, pasta, etc.);
— non-mineral oil drums, kegs, barrels.
The choice of material is appropriate for the conditions of use.
This document applies to cold-rolled strips in the form a coil or sheets.
This document does not apply to categories of steel other than steel for packaging intended for use in contact with foodstuffs, products or beverages for human or animal consumption.

This document specifies the base steel to be used and the composition of the metallic coating to be used for the manufacture of lacquered electrolytic chromium/chromium oxide coated steel and articles which, as a finished product, are intended for use in direct contact with foodstuffs or products for human or animal consumption.
The main examples of use are:
— drinks cans;
— food cans;
— closures and ends.
The material is be chosen in accordance with the conditions for its use.
This document does not apply to categories of steel other than steel for packaging intended for use in contact with foodstuffs, products or beverages for human or animal consumption.
