Norwegian Reinforcement Drawings

(OP)
I have a norwegian reinforcement drawing from 1975 and I am trying to get an understanding on what a couple of things mean:

Kontrollklasse: Utivdet
Betongkvalitet: C45
Stalkvalitet: Ks40

A Norwegian friend translated it for me to mean:

Control Class : Expansion
Concrete Quality: C45
Steel Quality: Ks40.

My query is more related to norwegian practice.  

1] C45 in the UK means a 28 day cube strength of 45 MPa.  The europeans tend to use cylinder strength instead of cube strength.  Does this mean in this instance C45 is a cylinder strength?

2] Does anyone know what Ks40 means in terms of rebar grade.  400 MPa yield perhaps?

Any help would be appreciated.
