The standard DIN EN 10257-1 specifies requirements for the properties of non-alloy carbon zinc or zinc alloy coated steel wire used primarily for the armouring of either land power or telecommunication cables. The standard DIN EN 10257-2 specifies requirements for the properties of non-alloy zinc or zinc alloy coated steel wires used for the armouring of either submarine power or telecommunication cables.
