reword

This translation has been made based on the original Japanese Industri
Standard revised by the Minister of Economy. Trade and Industry through
deliberations at the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee, as th
result of proposal for revision of Japanese Indus tria l Standard submitted
by The Japan Iron and Steel Federation (JISF) with the draft being at­
tached, based on the pr ovision of Article 12 Clause 1 of the Industrial
Standardization Law applica ble to the case of revision by the provision
of Article 14. Consequently JIS G 3 101: 1995 is repla ced with this S
dard .
Attention is dr a wn to the possibility that some parts of this Standard
may conflict with a patent right, application for a patent after opening
to the public, utility model right or application for registration of utilit
model after opening to th e public which have technical properties. Th
relevant Minister and t he Japanese Industrial Standards Committ
are not responsible for identifying the patent right. application for a
patent after opening to the public, utility model right or "a pplica tion for
registration of utility model after opening to the public whi ch have the
said technical or ooer t ies .

Rolled steels for general structure

1 Scop e This St an d ard specifies the hot rolled steels used for general structur e
uch as bridges, sh ips, r ollin g stocks and other structures (hereafter r efer r e d to a
"s teel pr oduct ").

2 Norma t iv e references The standards listed in attached table 1 contain provi­

sions which , through reference in this Standard, constitute provisions of this Stan­
dard. The most recent editions of t h e s t a n d a r d s (in cl u di n g amendments ) sha ll be
applied .

Grad d s. b ol The steel product s h all be classified into four cateaorie

and their ymbol hall be a s given in t a ble 1.
