Foreword
This document (prEN 1559-2:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 111 “Steel
castings and forgings”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1559-2:2000.
Annex B provides details of significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous
edition.
Within its programme of work, Technical Committee ECISS/TC 111 included the revision of EN 1559-2:2000:
EN 1559-2, Founding — Technical conditions of delivery — Part 2: Additional requirements for steel castings
This European Standard is one of a series of European Standards for technical delivery conditions for
castings. The other standards in this series are:
 EN 1559-1, Founding — Technical conditions of delivery — Part 1: General;
 EN 1559-3, Founding — Technical conditions of delivery — Part 3: Additional requirements for iron
castings;
 EN 1559-4, Founding — Technical conditions of delivery — Part 4: Additional requirements for aluminium
alloy castings;
 EN 1559-5, Founding — Technical conditions of delivery — Part 5: Additional requirements for
magnesium alloy castings;
 EN 1559-6, Founding — Technical conditions of delivery — Part 6: Additional requirements for zinc alloy
castings.

Introduction
In order to assist manufacturers and purchasers to prepare proper contractual arrangements and prevent
misunderstanding, CEN/TC 190 approved the preparation of a series of standards covering technical delivery
conditions. These have been prepared as separate parts.
This part of EN 1559 covers the additional technical delivery conditions for all the steel casting materials and
has the same structure for clauses as EN 1559-1:2011.
This part of EN 1559 cannot be used alone for compiling a specification for ordering and supplying steel
castings, but as a complement to EN 1559-1:2011.
This European Standard uses a system of identification with the following structure:
 clauses and subclauses preceded by „ indicate no additional conditions to EN 1559-1:2011;
 clauses and subclauses marked with a single dot  indicate that conditions shall be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order;
 subclauses and paragraphs marked with two dots  indicate that conditions can be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order (optional);
 subclauses without dot marking are mandatory.
Annex A gives a check list for quick information about different points that shall or may be agreed by the time
of acceptance of the order. It relates to the applicable clauses or subclauses of EN 1559-1:2011 and
prEN 1559-2:2012.
