Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
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
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details 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.

4 Classification
Steel grades for this international standard are generally classified as non-alloy quality steels.
5 Information to be supplied by the purchaser
5.1 Designation
For the purposes of this International Standard, ECCS is designated in terms of a steel grade classification
based either on the Rockwell HR30Tm hardness values or on the tensile properties. For the hardness
requirement, the steel grade designations are given in Table A.1 for single cold-reduced ECCS and in Table
A.2 for double cold-reduced ECCS. For the tensile properties requirement, the steel grade designations are
given in Table B.1.
ECCS covered by this International Standard shall be designated by the following characteristics in the given
sequence:
a) the number of this International Standard;
b) the steel grade designation in accordance with Table A.1, Table A.2 or Table B.1;
c) the type of annealing used by the manufacturer (see 6.2);
d) the type of finish (see 6.3);
e) the dimensions, in millimetres:
-for coils, thickness x width;
-for sheets, thickness x width x length.
NOTE 1 By agreement, the symbol “ x C” after width may be designated for coils.
NOTE 2 By agreement, the symbol “w” may be designated after number of width to show the rolling width.
EXAMPLE
Single cold-reduced ECCS sheet, in accordance with this International Standard, steel grade T61, continuously annealed
(CA), stone finish, with a thickness of 0,22 mm, a width of 800 mm and a length of 900 mm shall be designated:

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 11950:2013
ECCS sheet, in accordance with this International Standard, steel grade TS520, batch annealed (BA), stone finish, with a
thickness of 0,14 mm, a rolling width of 844 mm and a length of 755 mm shall be designated:
ISO11950 - TS520 - BA - stone - 0,14 x 844w x 755
5.2 Mandatory information
The following information shall be given in the enquiry and order to assist the manufacturer in supplying the
correct material:
a) the designation as given in 5.1;
b) the quantity, expressed on an area or mass basis;
c) end use;
d) any further special requirements.
NOTE Appropriate classifications are suitable for shaping operations such as stamping, drawing, folding, beading
and bending, and assembly work such as joint forming and welding. The end use should be borne in mind when the
classification is selected.
5.3 Options
In addition to the information in 5.2, the purchaser may wish to provide further information to the manufacturer
to ensure that the order requirements are consistent with the end use of the product.
The purchaser shall inform the manufacturer of any modifications to his fabrication operations that will
significantly affect the way in which the ECCS is used.
NOTE When ordering cold-reduced ECCS, the purpose of manufacture for which the material is intended should be
stated. When double cold-reduced ECCS is used for built-up can bodies, the rolling direction should be around the
circumference of the can so as to minimize the hazard of flange cracking. In such cases, the direction of rolling should be
clearly designated on the contract.
6 Manufacturing features
6.1 Manufacture
Continuously cast, fully-killed steel is applied except when otherwise specified. The examples of the steel
types of ECCS are shown in Annex C.
The steel type of ECCS shall be designed to secure food safety if ECCS is used for food application. The
purchasers should be aware of existing national regulations which may impose limitations on some elements.
The methods of manufacture ECCS are the province of the manufacturer and are not specified in this
International Standard.
6.2 Annealing
Annealing of ECCS 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
ECCS is usually available in the finishes as indicated in Table 1.

NOTE 3 For guidance on the measurement of surface roughness, refer to ISO 4288.
6.4 Oiling
Under normal conditions of transport and storage, ECCS shall be suitable for surface treatments such as
established lacquering and printing operations.
ECCS coils and sheets are supplied with an oil coating. The oil shall be one that is recognized (i.e. by the
relevant national or international authority) as being suitable for food packaging. Unless otherwise agreed at
the time of ordering, the kind of oil is at discretion of the manufacturer.
NOTE For the oil, DOS (dioctyl sebacate) is usually used.
6.5 Imperfections
6.5.1 Coils
The manufacturer is expected to employ his normal quality control and line inspection procedures to ensure
that the ECCS manufactured is in accordance with the requirements of this International Standard.
However, the production of ECCS coils in continuous-strip mill operations does not afford the opportunity for
removal of all ECCS that does not comply with the requirements of this International Standard.
At the time of shearing, sheets not conforming to the standard grade shall be set aside by the purchaser or his
agent.
The quantity of sheets complying with this International Standard shall be at least 90 % of any one coil.
NOTE Items a) and b) in 3.5 cannot be verified by specific tests and should be the subject of a special agreement
between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
If, when processing ECCS coil, the purchaser (or his agent) encounters recurring imperfections which in his
opinion seem excessive, it is essential, where practicable, that he stops processing the coil and advises the
manufacturer.

8 Mechanical properties
8.1 General
For the purposes of this International Standard, ECCS 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 ECCS 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
hardness test or by the tensile test.
8.2 Hardness requirement
The hardness values for ECCS shall be as given in Table A.1 and Table A.2, when tested as described in
12.2.
8.3 Tensile property requirement
The proof strength (R ) for ECCS shall be as given in Table B.1 , when tested as described in 12.3.
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 12.3 shall be used.
