This British Standard is the official English language version of

EN 10017:2004. It supersedes BS 4956:1973 which is withdrawn.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
ISE/71, Steel rods for wire drawing, which has the responsibility to:

— aid enquirers to understand the text;

— present to the responsible international/European committee any

enquiries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the
UK interests informed;
— monitor related international and European developments and
promulgate them in the UK.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on

request to its secretary.

7 Mass of coils and checks on dimensional tolerances

7.1 Mass and tolerance on mass of individual coils may be agreed between manufacturer and
purchaser.

In any delivery it is permitted that a maximum of 5% of the coils may be supplied with a mass less
than the specified minimum mass.

7.2 Tolerances are checked on a cross section of a specimen, which is a length of rod taken from
the test unit. The number of specimens to be taken from the test unit should be agreed at the time of
the order. It should also be agreed the number of specimens to be taken from the test unit when
complementary tests will be made.

In the event of a dispute the dimensions of the rod shall be measured at a distance from the ends of
the coil greater than those included in Table 5.
