Full title and description

STB DIN EN 10088-1:2024-04 — Stainless steels — Part 1: List of stainless steels (German version / national publication of the EN text). This document provides the official list and designation system for stainless steels used in Europe and its national adoptions, including chemical composition ranges and classification information.

Abstract

Part 1 of the EN 10088 series is a catalogue-style standard that lists stainless steel grades, gives their standard designations and basic compositional limits, and provides reference data used for specifying and ordering stainless steels across industries. It is intended to ensure consistent naming and baseline compositional information for subsequent parts of the EN 10088 series (which set delivery and technical requirements).

General information

• Status: Current (national adoption / publication active).
• Publication date: 2024-04 (DIN national publication: April 1, 2024, catalogue designation DIN EN 10088-1:2024-04).
• Publisher: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) — national adoption of the EN text.
• ICS / categories: 77.140.20 (stainless steels / corrosion resisting steels).
• Edition / version: Edition published April 2024 (DIN EN 10088-1:2024-04).
• Number of pages: 80 pages (national publication format).

Scope

The standard lists stainless steel grades and their principal chemical composition ranges, assigns standard designations and names, and supplies tabulated reference data (including selected physical-property data). It establishes a harmonised listing used for ordering, specifying and cross-referencing stainless steels in other EN documents (and their national adoptions). It does not itself set detailed delivery conditions or full mechanical testing schedules — those appear in other EN 10088 parts.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardised list of stainless-steel grades and their EN designations (austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation-hardening types).
• Declared chemical composition ranges for each listed grade (cast/analysis ranges used as reference for specification and production control).
• Classification of grades by general application (corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, warm‑resistant) and cross-references to other EN parts for delivery conditions.
• Reference tables giving selected physical properties and identifiers (some national/annex tables provide data such as those in tables E.1–E.8 in certain national versions).
• Ordering/designation guidance to ensure consistent naming between purchaser, supplier and conformity documents (used together with technical delivery standards in Parts 2–5).

Typical use and users

Used by materials engineers, metallurgists, product designers, purchasers, standards writers, testing laboratories and manufacturers of stainless-steel products to identify and specify grades unambiguously. It is commonly referenced when preparing technical specifications, procurement documents, product datasheets and conformity certificates.

Related standards

Part 1 is the listing element of the EN 10088 series; related parts include EN 10088-2 (technical delivery conditions for sheet/plate/strip for general purposes), EN 10088-3 (technical delivery conditions for long products and semi‑finished products) and further parts addressing delivery conditions for construction purposes and other specific product families. Users should consult the relevant Part (2–5) for detailed delivery, testing and certification requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: DIN EN 10088-1:2024-04 is the national (DIN) publication of EN 10088‑1 that provides the authoritative list and designations of stainless-steel grades and their principal compositional ranges used for specification and cross‑referencing in Europe.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the names, EN designations and reference chemical composition ranges for stainless-steel grades, classification guidance and tabulated reference data to support ordering and identification. It does not contain the full technical delivery conditions or testing requirements — those are in EN 10088 parts 2–5.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Materials engineers, specifiers, steel producers, product designers, quality and procurement teams, and testing laboratories use the standard to specify and identify stainless-steel grades consistently across supply chains.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The April 2024 national edition is current and replaces earlier national editions (the publication record notes replacement of the 2014 edition). Always check the national standards body or publisher for the absolute latest status and any small amendments.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — EN 10088 is a multi‑part series. Part 1 is the list of stainless steels; Parts 2 and 3 (and other parts) provide technical delivery conditions for different product forms and applications. Consult the relevant Part for application‑specific delivery and testing rules.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Stainless steel, grade list, EN 10088, DIN EN, chemical composition, steel designation, corrosion-resistant steel, delivery conditions (related Parts 2–5).
