NEN-EN-ISO 14713-3:2008 Ontw. en

This international standard provides guidance 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; a) available standard processes b) design considerations, and c) environments of use. 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. Note: There are a variety of product related standards (e.g. for nails, fasteners, ductile iron pipes etc.) which provide specific requirements for the applied zinc coating systems which go beyond any general guidance presented here. These specific product related requirements will take precedence over these general recommendations.
