DIN EN ISO 16120-2:2017-06

The ISO 16120-1 to -4 series of standards specifies requirements for non-alloy steel wire rod for drawing and/or cold rolling. The revision of the 2011 versions was decided in the International Standards committee ISO/TC 17/SC 17 "Steel wire rod and wire products" with the aim of adapting the technical content of the standards to market requirements. The current revision concerns: Part 1: General requirements, Part 2: Particular requirements for wire rod for general use and Part 4: Particular requirements for wire rod for special applications, of the above series of standards. All 3 parts listed above will be revised using the ISO/CEN parallel procedure. The future versions of the ISO standards will therefore be adopted as European standards without any changes. The responsible European standardization committee is ECISS/C 106 "Wire rod and drawn wire". Of the most important changes, the following are mentioned: Revision of the specifications on the deviations in tensile strength in wire rod and the inclusion of a new clause for the determination and classification of the cementite network in wire rod with increased carbon content. The responsible German standardization committee is Subcommittee 08/2 "Wire rod for drawing" at DIN Standards Committee Iron and Steel (FES).
