5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Draft Thai 
Industrial Standard for Electrolytic Zinc-Coated Cold Reduced Flat Carbon Steel of Commercial and Drawing Qualities (TIS 2223-25XX) (25 pages, in Thai)  
6. Description of content: The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to 
withdraw TIS 2223-2548 electrolytic zinc-coated cold-rolled steel coil, strip and sheet, and 
replaced it with TIS 2223-25XX as a mandatory standard. This standard covers only 
electrolytic zinc-coated steel sheet which is produced with zinc coatings either one- side-
coated or both sides-coated sheets, and thes e steel sheets are made by cold reduced flat 
carbon steel in coil, strip and sheet. The thickness of zinc-coated steel sheet specified as 
not exceeding 2.30 mm. The electrolytic zinc-c oated steel sheet may be processed by the 
chemical treatment or oil coating for being appropriate to its more applicable to work. This standard does not cover cold reduced flat carbon steel requirement specified in TIS 2140 
where the electrolytic zinc-coated steel sheet is produced with coatings either one-side-
coated or both sides-coated sheets.
