Can BS EN S235JR steel replace of ASTM A36 steel ?

Steel materials S235JR is one common grade in european steel specification BS EN 10025-2 which contains hot rolled products for structural steels.As the same strength,there are steel grades S235JR,S235J0 and S235J2,S235jr normally can be used in room temperature,but S235J2 can be used in low temperature surroudings because it is done charp-V notch impacting test at minus 20 Deg.C.

So our question is whether S235jr steel replace of A36 steel,most of time,S235jr can replace of A36 steels.From the below comparasion datasheet in chemical composition and mechanical properties,S235JR steel and A36 steel are very near.

Rolling types for bs en S235JR and astm A36 shall be hot rolled steel plates,hot rolled steel coils,hot rolled flat plates,hot rolled angle bars,welded pipes,square hollow sections,circle hollow sections and square hollow sections.
