The Zaporizhstal plant of Metinvest Group has successfully completed the process of expanding the scope of the certificate for compliance of hot-rolled steel with the requirements of the EN 10025-1 standard for steel grades S235-275 J0-J2 and S355 J0-J2.

Test deliveries of these products have already been sent to several Polish customers, the first feedback on pipe cutting and production was received, and control tests were carried out. By continuing to work in this direction, Zaporizhstal will be able to improve production results, achieve additional production volumes and sales of hot-rolled steel, which complies with the European standard EN 10025-1:2004 for structural steel grades S235-275 J0-J2 and S355. J2 in thicknesses 1.8–8 mm. The rolled products fully comply with the requirements of the European Union directives regarding rolled products used in civil or industrial construction.
