EN standard pipes refer to pipes manufactured and tested according to European Norms (EN) developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard is a key component of the single European market and can represent one of the most important issues for business. EN standards or European standards are actually crucial in facilitating trade and have high visibility among manufacturers inside and outside Europe.
EN 10210 specifies the technical delivery conditions for hot-finished structural hollow sections made of non-alloy and fine-grain steels.
EN 10216-1 and EN 10217-1 for Carbon Steel Pipes: These standards cover seamless and welded steel tubes for pressure purposes
EN standards ensure high quality, safety, and compatibility across Europe, facilitating trade and harmonization.
EN standards are developed at the European level by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and are harmonized across Europe. They aim to unify technical rules and laws within the European market.
DIN standards, on the other hand, are national standards developed by the Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. (DIN) in Germany. They are increasingly being replaced by EN standards, except for products without EN or ISO equivalents.
The main differences lie in their scope and application: EN standards are broader and apply across Europe, while DIN standards are more specific to Germany.
