EN ISO 12944-7 Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures with Paints and Varnishes, Protective Paint Systems, Part 7: Execution of Paint Works

This standard does not apply to:

  • Preparation of surfaces to be painted and supervision of such works;
  • Application of metallic coatings;
  • Pretreatment methods such as phosphating and chromating, and paint application methods such as dipping, powder coating or coil coating.

Unprotected steel is subject to corrosion in atmosphere, water and soil, which can cause damage. Therefore, to prevent corrosion damage, steel structures are normally protected to withstand the corrosion stresses they will be exposed to during the service life required of the structure.

There are different ways to protect steel structures from corrosion. EN ISO 12944 (all parts) deals with the protection of various parts, with paint systems and covers, all the features that are important in providing adequate corrosion protection. Additional or other measures are possible, but require specific agreement between the parties involved.

To ensure effective protection of steel structures against corrosion, owners, planners, consultants, companies carrying out corrosion protection studies, protective coating inspectors and coating material manufacturers must have state-of-the-art knowledge. It is vital that such information is as complete, clear and easy to understand as possible in order to avoid difficulties and misunderstandings between parties involved in the practical application of conservation work.
