6. Description of content: The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to 
withdraw TIS 2012-2543 (2000) Cold reduced carbon steel coil, strip and sheet of 
commercial and drawing qualities, and replace it with TIS 2012-25xx Cold reduced flat 
steel of commercial and drawing qualities as a mandatory standard. This draft standard 
applies to cold reduced flat steel (unalloyed and alloy steel) of commercial and drawing qualities. It specifies types, types of edge , grades and symbols; chemical compositions; 
mechanical properties; basis mass, sizes and tolerances; general requirements; marking 
and labeling; sampling and criteria for conformity.
