The first UNE standard was published 25 years ago. It is UNE 37137-87: Carbon steel bands, hot-dip galvanized, with specific yield strength.

This standard have experimented several changes since then. Nowadays, the current standard is the UNE EN 10346: Continuosly hot-dip coated steel flat roducts. Technical delivery conditions.

To celebrate this anniversary, AENOR has uploaded a commemorative video in its Youtube channel.

Due to the close bonds that connect us to AENOR, as well as to the carbon steel products, from AFTA we offer our own tribute to the first UNE Standard.
