DIN EN ISO 14713-1:2017-08

This part of ISO 14713 provides guidelines and recommendations regarding the general principles of design which are appropriate for articles to be zinc coated for corrosion protection and the level of corrosion resistance provided by zinc coatings applied to iron or steel articles, exposed to a variety of environments. Initial protection is covered in relation to - available standard processes, - design considerations, and - environments for use. This part of ISO 14713 applies to zinc coatings applied by the following processes: a) hot dip galvanized coatings (applied after fabrication); b) hot dip galvanized coatings (applied onto continuous sheet); c) sherardized coatings; d) thermal sprayed coatings; e) mechanically plated coatings; f) electrodeposited coatings. These guidelines and recommendations do not deal with the maintenance of corrosion protection in service for steel with zinc coatings. Guidance on this subject can be found in ISO 12944-5 and ISO 12944-8. This document (FprEN ISO 14713-1: 2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107/SC 4 "Hot dip coatings (galvanized, etcetera)", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom), and adopted by CEN/TC 262 "Metallic and other inorganic coatings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom), under the Vienna Agreement. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-01-75 AA "Schmelztauchüberzüge" ("Hot dip coatings") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
