Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) is a parastatal under the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and 
Industry established under Cap 327, of the Laws of Ugan da. UNBS is mandated to co -ordinate the elaboration 
of standards and is  
(a) a member of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and  
(b) a contact point for the WHO/FAO Codex Alimentarius Commission on Food Standards, and  
(c) the National Enquiry Point on TBT/SPS Agreements of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).  
The work of preparing Uganda Standards is carried out through Technical Committees. A Technical 
Committee is established to deliberate on standards in a given field or area and consists of repres entatives of 
consumers, traders, academicians, manufacturers, government and other stakeholders.  
Draft Uganda Standards adopted by the Technical Committee are widely circulated to stakeholders and the 
general public for comments. The committee reviews the comments before recommending the draft standards 
for approval and declaration as Uganda Standards by the National Standards Council.  
This Final Draft Uganda Standard, FDUS EAS 108: 2013, Hot-rolled, heavy -thickness carbon steel sheets, 
coils and strips — Specification , is identical with  and has been reproduced from an East African  Standard , 
EAS 108: 2013 , Hot-rolled, heavy -thickness carbon steel sheets, coils and strips — Specification , and is being 
proposed for adoption as a Uganda Standard.  
Wherever the words, “ East African  Standard" appear, they should be replaced by "Uganda Standard."

 Foreword  
Development of the East African Standards has been necessitated by the need for harmonizing req uirements 
governing quality of products and services in the East African Community. It is envisaged that through 
harmonized standardization, trade barriers that are encountered when goods and services are exchanged 
within the Community will be removed.  
In order to achieve this objective, the Community established an East African Standards Committee mandated 
to develop and issue East African Standards.   
The Committee is composed of representatives of the National Standards Bodies in Partner States, together  
with the representatives from the private sectors and consumer organizations. Draft East African Standards 
are circulated to stakeholders through the National Standards Bodies in the Partner States. The comments 
received are discussed and incorporated bef ore finalization of standards, in accordance with the procedures 
of the Community.  
East African Standards are subject to review, to keep pace with technological advances. Users of the East 
African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always  have the latest versions of the standards 
they are implementing .  
FDEAS 108 was prepared by Technical Committee EASC/TC 035, Steel and steel products . 
This second edition  cancels and replaces the first  edition (EAS  108:2008 ), which has been technically re vised.

7.2 Product check or verification analysis  
7.2.1 Non-killed steels such as capped or rimmed steels are not technologically suited to product analysis 
due to the non -uniform charact er of their chemical composition and therefore, the tolerances in Table 3 do not 
apply. Products analysis is appropriate on these types of steel only when misapplication is apparent or for 
copper when copper steel is specified.  FDEAS 108: 2013

In case a referee analysis is required and agreed upon to leave a dispute concerning the results of a chemical 
analysis, the procedure for performing the referee analysis shall be in accordance with the test methods given 
in Table 3. 
8 Mechanical properties  
8.1 Mechanical requirements are applicable only if coils are ordered as structural quality for conversion to 
plates. Shall the processor intend to qualify the plates cut from a coiled product as structural plates, the order 
to the m anufacturer shall state the intended designation, grade and type.  
8.2 In addition to the information required in 5 h) tensile, yield, and elongation values of the intended plate 
shall also be indicated on the order and are applicable to this standard . 
8.3 Results of the coil -end tests in 8.1 shall be reported by the manufacturer and shall be  the basis of 
compliance with the requirements of this standard  as defined in 8.2. 
8.4 Ultimate qualification to the intended plate specification through additional tes ting is the responsibility of 
the coil processor. The processor shall de -coil, cut to length and mark, perform and certify tests, examine, 
repair, inspect, carry out operations not intended to affect the properties of the material. The processor may 
subseq uently heat -treat the plate.  
8.5 For material produced under this clause , the chemical requirements of the inten ded plate specification 
(see Clause 9) apply. Other chemical requirements contained in this standard  do not apply under this clause . FDEAS 108: 2013

of coils does not afford opportunity to remove portions containing imperfections.

maximum limit for manganese does not exceed 1.00 %. When the maximum manganese limit 
exceeds 1.00 %, add 0.01 to the carbon ranges shown in the table . 
a) Certain individual specifications provide for lower standard limits for phosphorus and sulphur.
