DIN Standards for Industrial Materials
A procurement-focused index for German national standards, adopted EN and ISO documents, inspection records and metallic-material test routes.
How DIN Designations Work
DIN publishes national standards and German national adoptions of European or international standards. The prefix identifies the publication route; it does not by itself establish material-grade, product or certificate equivalence.
| Designation | Procurement meaning |
|---|---|
| DIN | A standard developed at German national level. |
| DIN EN | A European EN standard adopted unchanged as a German national standard. |
| DIN EN ISO | An ISO standard adopted at European level and then unchanged at German national level. |
| DIN ISO | An ISO standard adopted unchanged directly as a German national standard. |
Official explanation: DIN standards deliverables and designation structure.

The edition shown is the DIN publication identified by the official record checked on 10 October 2026. The purchase order, drawing or project specification must state the governing document and edition.
Stainless Product-Form Routes
For European product-form requirements, MNK maintains separate procurement summaries. A German DIN EN edition follows the same EN technical content, while its national publication date and language may differ.
- EN 10088-2:2024 — stainless sheet, plate and strip
- EN 10088-3:2023 — bars, rods, wire and sections
- EN 10216-5:2021 — seamless stainless pressure tubes
- EN 10217-7:2021 — welded stainless pressure tubes
- EN 10272:2016 — stainless bars for pressure purposes
- EN 10222-5:2017 — stainless forgings for pressure purposes
- EN 10253-4:2025 — stainless butt-welding fittings

DIN EN ISO Test Methods
| DIN publication | Test context | Official record |
|---|---|---|
| DIN EN ISO 6892-1:2020-06 | Tensile testing of metallic materials at room temperature. | DIN Media |
| DIN EN ISO 6507-1:2024-01 | Vickers hardness test method for metallic materials. | DIN Media |
The material or product standard defines which test route, specimen, test condition and acceptance criteria apply. Browse the ISO Standards Library for further international references.
Ordering and Equivalence Controls
- State the full standard designation, edition or publication date and product form.
- Identify the material grade separately; a standard number is not a grade designation.
- Define dimensions, tolerances, surface condition, heat treatment and delivery condition.
- State the inspection-document type, test route, acceptance criteria and traceability requirements.
- Verify any claimed ASTM, EN, DIN, ISO, ГОСТ or ТУ correspondence against manufacturer data, certificates and the governing specification.
Copyright and Access Policy
DIN, EN and ISO standards are protected publications. MNK-G.S.A provides original procurement summaries, navigation and links to official records. Protected clauses, tables, figures, tolerances and acceptance values are not reproduced. Obtain the authorised document from DIN Media or another authorised standards provider before contractual or engineering use.

This review covers public catalogue designations, publication dates and subjects, not the full standards or project-specific compliance. The eight DIN Media records were marked current on the review date. Confirm the required edition for each order; a DIN publication date can differ from its underlying EN or ISO edition.
