BS EN 10088-3 Specification

BS EN 10088-3 Specification Standard – Adfast Component LTD

Scope

BS EN 10088-3 Specification Standard – Adfast Component LTD

Adfast Component LTD offers products compliant with BS EN 10088-3, which specifies technical delivery conditions for semi-finished products, hot or cold-formed bars, rods, wire, sections, and bright products of corrosion-resistant stainless steels. These materials are suitable for general purposes, including applications involving food contact.

Our products meet the general technical delivery conditions of EN 10021, ensuring high-quality standards. However, this standard does not cover components altered by further processing. Choose Adfast Component LTD for reliable stainless steel solutions.

  • a Depth of discontinuities is understood as being the distance, measured normally to the surface, between the bottom of the discontinuities and that surface.
  • b At the time of enquiry and order it may be agreed that the product shall be delivered with a surface being technically defect free by manufacture. In this case, also the maximum % of delivered weight in excess of permissible depth of discontinuities shall be agreed.
