EN 10225-1:2009 outlines several requirements for steel plates to ensure they are suitable for structural applications:

Levels are kept extremely low to maximize toughness and prevent lamellar tearing. en 10225-1 pdf

Offshore structures often use heavy plates where stress is applied perpendicular to the surface. This can lead to lamellar tearing. The standard defines requirements for "Z-quality" (Z25, Z35), ensuring the steel has high ductility through its thickness, preventing catastrophic failure in critical nodes and joints. en 10225-1 pdf
