1.2Annex A1 lists permitted variations in dimensions and mass (Note 1) in SI units. The values listed are not exact conversions of the values in Tables 1 to 31 inclusive but are, instead, rounded or rationalized values. Conformance to Annex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification designation is used.
1.3Annex A2 lists the dimensions of some shape profiles.
1.4Appendix X1 provides information on coil as a source of structural products.
1.5Appendix X2 provides information on the variability of tensile properties in plates and structural shapes.
1.6Appendix X3 provides information on weldability.
1.7Appendix X4 provides information on cold bending of plates, including suggested minimum inside radii for cold bending.
