- Footnote a of Table 7/Table 8 refers to Figure 1; The scatter bands for +H and +HH shall be maintained separately; lower limits shall not be interchanged.
- Applicable only to conditions where the corresponding +H or +HH hardenability symbols are actually used for ordering; Specific delivery condition and dimension range shall still be confirmed according to the order and Table 1 of the standard.
- When ordering based on core hardness requirements per 7.1.3, the end-quench data in Table 7/Table 8 are for reference only and cannot serve as an acceptance guarantee for the same order item.
- HRC is the hardness at the specified distance of the end-quench test specimen, not the overall hardness of the finished product, nor does it prove cold-heading suitability or part performance.
- A horizontal line in the original table indicates that the lower limit for that distance is not specified and shall remain blank; Shall not be treated as 0; no interpolation, extrapolation, or conformity determination shall be performed for distances not listed.
- The shown quenching temperature is the standard end-quench test condition and cannot be used as a production heat treatment process parameter or recommendation.
- Testing shall be according to EN ISO642 as cited in Table 10 (source standard specifies ISO642:1999); Test units shall be divided by heat, with 1 sample per unit and 1 test per sample; sampling for disputes shall otherwise follow Table 10.
- This record is for DIN EN10089:2003-04 adopting EN10089:2002; Hardenability data is explicitly read from the original table of BS EN10089:2002; it is not claimed that missing pages of the DIN original document have been verified or completed.

Composition conditions
- Table 4 is heat analysis, mass fraction %; Dashes or unspecified elements must not be assumed to have a value of 0..
- Original image last column header Cu+Sn, cell explicitly Cu+10Sn≤0.60%; Retain as weighted formula per main text, do not split into independent limits.
- Table 4 Note b: +H/+HH follow the permitted deviations in Table 5, with C specifically not exceeding ±0.01%; P/S not relaxed; Unselected conditions shall not be calculated by default.
- Product analysis shall be verified separately per Table 5; its C/P/S deviations shall not be directly applied to the current heat analysis branch; For the same heat, the same element shall not simultaneously exhibit deviations exceeding the upper limit and falling below the lower limit.
- Note c allows lower P/S upper limits by agreement; values shall not be automatically changed if no agreement is provided; Intentional addition of elements not listed requires agreement (except additions needed to finish steelmaking).
- For springs intended for quenching and tempering.; Heat treatment, hardness, hardenability, dimensions and surface conditions require verification under the main text; do not collapse mechanical properties across conditions in this batch..
