There are three acceptance classes for HIC plates under EN 10028–3. Each acceptance class
sets requirements for the maximum permissible % of the crack to length ratio (CLR), the crack to thickness ratio (CTR) and the crack sensitivity ratio (CSR).
Acceptance class I is the most resistant, followed by II and then III.
The table below shows the acceptable test results using Test Solution A (pH3).
| Acceptance Class | CLR % | CTR % | CSR % |
| | | ≤ 5 | ≤ 1.5 | ≤ 0.5 |
| || | ≤ 10 | ≤ 3 | ≤ 1 |
| ||| | ≤ 15 | ≤ 5 | ≤ 2 |
Oakley Steel offer HIC resistant plate that meets acceptance class I (unless otherwise advised or requested).
