through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

Introduction
Selling of packaging steels is today a worldwide business. Therefore, revision of this International
Standard was expected earlier since the last edition dated from 1995. Because of the long period
between revisions, harmonization became difficult. In some regions, the properties of the packaging
steels are determined by the hardness test whereas in other regions, a decade ago, the hardness
test was replaced by the tensile test. Since the latest available techniques should be reflected in this
International Standard, the possibility of using the tensile test as the reference test for determining the
mechanical properties should be considered during the next revision of this International Standard.

6 Manufacturing features
6.1 Manufacture
Continuously cast, fully-killed steel is applied except when otherwise specified. The examples of the steel
types of blackplate are shown in Annex C.
The steel type of blackplate shall be designed to secure food safety if blackplate is applied for food application.
The purchasers should be aware of existing national regulations which may impose limitations on some
elements.
The methods of manufacture of blackplate are the province of the manufacturer and are not specified in this
International Standard.
NOTE It is recommended that the manufacturer supplies to the purchaser such details of the manufacturing process
as may assist the purchaser in his efficient use of the blackplate.
6.2 Annealing
Annealing of blackplate shall be either batch annealing (BA) or continuous annealing(CA), and shall be
specified by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and order.
6.3 Finish
Blackplate is usually available in the finishes as indicated in Table 1.
Table 1 — Typical finishes for blackplate

ISO/DIS 11951:2013
6.5 Imperfections
The production of blackplate coils in continuous-strip mill operations does not afford the opportunity for
removal of all blackplate that does not comply with the requirements of this International Standard.
However the manufacturer has to ensure that in coils complying to this International Standard at least 90% of
the coil can be used for producing electrolytic tinplate or chromium / chromium oxide coated steel sheets
which is :
a) free from surface imperfections which render the material unsuitable for the intended use
b) free from damage which render the material unsuitable for intended use
c) compliant to the requirements as specified in this International Standard
The purchaser is expected to have adequate handling and roller levelling equipment and inspection facilities,
and to take reasonable care during these operations.
7 Mechanical properties
7.1 General
For the purposes of this International Standard, blackplates are classified into steel grades based on either
Rockwell HR30Tm hardness values or tensile properties. The purchaser shall indicate the specification either
by hardness requirement or by tensile properties requirement, but not for both, when ordering the material.
Other mechanical properties may significantly influence the performance of blackplate in processing, and the
subsequent intended end use may vary depending on the steel type and the methods of casting, annealing
and temper rolling employed.
At the time of enquiry and order it shall be agreed that properties of steel grade are to be verified either by the
tensile test or by the hardness test.
7.2 Hardness requirement
The hardness values for blackplate shall be as given in Table A.1 and Table A.2, when tested as described in
11.1.
7.3 Tensile property requirement
The proof strength (R ) for blackplate shall be as given in Table B.1 , when tested as described in 11.2.
p0,2
For routine testing, the proof strength may be determined using the springback test as described in Annex D.
However, in cases of dispute, the method described in 11.2 shall be used.
8 Tolerances on dimensions and shape
8.1 General
Tolerances on dimensions (i.e. thickness, width and length) and shape (i.e. edge camber and flatness) are
specified in 8.2 to 8.6, together with appropriate methods of measurement.

8.2.1 Coil thickness
Nominal thickness shall be a multiple of 0,005 mm. Nominal thickness other than multiple of 0,005 mm may
be specified by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. Thickness out of the nominal
thickness range may be specified by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
The thickness of blackplate shall not deviate from the ordered nominal thickness by more than +5,-8% at any
point except within 10mm from the edge.
The thickness shall be measured using a hand-operated, spring-loaded micrometer to an accuracy of 0,001
mm.
NOTE It is recommended that the micrometer should have a ball-ended shank and a curved-surface base anvil.
8.2.2 Feather edge
The thickness when measured at a distance of 10 mm from the mill trimmed edge shall not deviate from the
actual centre thickness by more than -6 %
8.3 Coil width
The width of the coil shalI be measured to the nearest 0,5 mm, at right angles to the direction of rolling.
For trimmed-edge product, the measured width shall not deviate from the ordered width by more than +3, -0
mm. For mill-edge product, the measured width shall not deviate from the ordered width by more than +10, -0
mm.
8.4 Coil length
The difference between the actual length and the manufacturer’s indicated length, measured on any single
coil, shall not exceed by more than ± 3 %.
8.5 Edge camber of trimmed coils
Edge camber is the maximum deviation (in the plane of the sheet) of an edge from a straight line forming a
chord to its extremities (see Figure 1).
The edge camber, E, expressed as a percentage of the chord length, is calculated using the following
formula:
D
E = x 100
L
where
D is the deviation from a straight line, in millimetres
L is the length of chord, in millimetres
The edge camber, measured over a distance (chord length) of 1 m, shall not exceed 0,1 % (i.e. 1 mm).
