CEN/TC 459/SC 12/WG 5 - Revision of EN 10020:2000
For a variety of reasons it is necessary to classify steel grades into different types. These include the definition of steel types in material standards, to provide guidance for users of steel products, for trade and for education. Currently these classifications are based on chemical composition only. However, with the rapid development of new steel types which has taken place over recent decades this approach is no longer considered adequate. The working group will look at establishing a new European standard which is based around a more comprehensive classification system which is more relevant to current material use.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
