NOTE 1 Double reduced product is only supplied as stone finish.
NOTE 2 For guidance on the measurement of surface roughness, refer to EN ISO 4288.
NOTE 3 The appearance is governed by:
a) the surface characteristics of the steel base which principally result from controlled preparation of
the work rolls used during the final stages of temper rolling ;
b) the mass of the coating applied ; and
c) whether the tin layer is flow-melted or unflow-melted.
NOTE 4 For de-tinning prior to testing for surface roughness, see annex B.
6.3 Passivation
Under normal conditions of transport and storage, tinmill products shall be suitable for surface
treatments such as established lacquering and printing operations.
ECCS is not subject to a passivation treatment.
After tinning, tinplate is subject to a passivation treatment in which chromium and chromium oxides
are deposited on to each surface to improve resistance to oxidation and improve suitability for
lacquering and printing. There are two tinplate passivation processes in common use:-
a) Code 311, which is the most widely used and is a process of cathodic treatment in a solution of
sodium dichromate ;
b) Code 300, which is a simple chemical dip treatment in a sodium dichromate solution.
Code 311 will normally be supplied unless otherwise specified.
Values per surface for total chromium shall be as follows:-
2
Code 311 3,5 to 9,0 mg/m
2
Code 300 1,0 to 3,0 mg/m
The preferred method of measurement is the diphenylcarbazide method (see annex C)

6.4 Oiling
Tinmill products, coils and sheets, shall be supplied with an oil coating. The oil shall be recognized
(i.e. by the relevant national or international authority) as suitable for food packaging. Unless
otherwise agreed at the time of order (see 4.2 h)) the oils used shall be dioctyl sebacate (DOS) for
tinplate and either DOS or butyl stearate oil (BSO) for ECCS.
Oil shall be applied uniformly across the surface in quantities which, where applicable, are compatible
with lacquering, printing and handling operations and cause no de-wetting or excessive dust pick up.
7 Coatings
7.1 Electrolytic tinplate
7.1.1 Properties
Values for tin coatings for single surfaces shall be as shown in Table 2. The values shown shall apply
to single spot measurements.
NOTE Guidance on the marking and identification of differentially coated tinplate is provided in clause 11.

7.2.2 Test method
7.2.2.1 Test pieces
From each sheet selected in accordance with clause 12, four discs, each of area not less than
2
2 500 mm , shall be taken from each of the three sets of positions. The test area of each disc shall be
2
of an accurately determined area not less than 2 000 mm . The edge test pieces shall be taken not
less than 25 mm from the edges.
Two of the four discs (two per surface) from each position shall be used for the separate
determinations of the masses of chromium in the metallic chromium layer and the chromium oxide
layer on one surface of the sheet and the other two discs shall be used for the corresponding
determinations on the other surface.

7.2.2.2 Method of determination
The masses of metallic chromium and chromium in oxide shall be expressed in milligrams per square
2
metre to the nearest 1 mg/m .
For routine test purposes the coating masses may be determined by any of the recognized and
acceptable analytical methods but, in cases of dispute and for all retests, the method described in
annex E shall be the referee method.
Any tests carried out using the test in annex E shall be performed on untreated material, in the as
produced state.
8 Mechanical properties
8.1 Classification
8.1.1 General
A number of different mechanical properties may be determined for tinmill products.
No single mechanical test can measure all the factors which may affect their fabrication
characteristics, nor is it possible to apply any single test satisfactorily to the range of tinmill products
currently produced.
Individual mechanical properties can significantly influence the performance of tinplate in processing
and subsequent intended use and will vary depending on the steel type and the methods of casting,
annealing and temper rolling employed.
NOTE 1 The term “temper” when applied to tinmill products, summarises a combination of interrelated
properties.
The test considered to provide the best guide to mechanical properties is the tensile test which
measures yield or proof strength and tensile strength. For the purpose of this European Standard
these tests form the basis of the classification shown in Table 4. In cases of dispute, the tensile test
shall be the referee method.
NOTE 2 The tensile test is a laboratory test which is not always available to users. Tests which are suitable
for in plant evaluation of tinmill products are the Rockwell
