Appendices 
For components with multi-axial loads, the following special features shall be taken into ac 
count when ordering material: 
Materials in ac 
cordance with 
DIN EN 10025 
-1,-3,-4 [8] 
Materials in 
accordance with 
DIN EN 
10210-1 [10] 
Materials in 
accordance with 
DIN EN 
10219-1 [11] 
Materials in 
accordance with 
DIN EN 
10225 [12] 
Test piece orientation 
in the Charpy impact 
test 
Additional verification of the Charpy 
impact properties on transverse 
test pieces (order option 30 in ac 
cordance with DIN EN 10025-3/-4) 
Shall not be 
used for multi- 
axial stress 
states without 
additional 
measures 
No additional 
requirements 
Additional Charpy im 
pact test in the centre 
of the metal sheet 
Additional tests are required for 
metal sheet thicknesses t > 40 mm 
Table 5-V.2: Additional requirements placed on the Charpy impact test 
The regulations on the choice of steel grade giving due regard to the through-thickness pro 
perties in accordance with [7] Section 3 shall be used, and the resulting additional require 
ments for the Z quality in accordance with DIN EN 10164 shall be taken into account in the 
order. 
Appendix 5-VI Notes on the production in accordance with DIN EN 1090-2 
The execution and monitoring of the execution is regulated in DIN EN 1090-2. 
For offshore structures, the following execution classes at least shall be complied with: 
• EXC 2 for structures which are predominantly stressed at rest 
• EXC 3 for structures which are predominantly stressed when not at rest, such as foundation 
structures which are in sea water 
The execution class selected determines the scope of the additional non-destructive test 
(NDT) in DIN EN 1090-2 (chapter 12.4.2.2 Scope of inspection, Table 24). In addition to the 
scope of the test for UT described there, more wide-ranging tests can become necessary de 
pending on the test results. For the further procedure to adapt the scope of the inspection or 
testing, reference is made to chapter B2.4.2.1.2 Monitoring of the production phase (steel 
structures). The procedure described there is to be similarly applied to the UT tests.
