European Abbreviation Clarification

European Abbreviation Clarification

European Abbreviation Clarification

(OP)
I am trying to decipher a European company's composite material allowables in which they use the abbreviation hb for units of stress. I have searched the internet and all of my other resources and I am 99% sure that hb refers to hectobars, 10^2 bars, but I was hoping that someone here could provide me with that last 1%. Has anyone ever seen the designation before?  

All replies greatly appreciated.

Regards,
