EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 12944-3 testing. EN ISO 12944-3 addresses the basic criteria for the design of steel structures to be coated with protective paint systems to prevent premature corrosion and deterioration of the coating or structure.
Gives examples of appropriate and inappropriate design showing how to avoid problems in application, inspection and maintenance of paint systems. Design measures that facilitate the handling and transportation of steel structures are also taken into account.
The purpose of designing a structure is to ensure that the structure is fit for function, has sufficient strength and durability, is constructed at an acceptable cost, and is aesthetically pleasing. The overall design should be planned to facilitate surface preparation, painting, inspection and maintenance.
The shape of a structure can affect its susceptibility to corrosion. For this reason, structures should be designed in such a way that they do not provide an abutment to which corrosion can spread easily. It is therefore highly recommended that the designer consult a corrosion protection specialist at a very early stage of the design process. Ideally, the corrosion protection system should be selected at that time, taking into account the service type, service life and maintenance requirements of the structure.
The shapes of the structural members and the methods used to join them should be such that fabrication, joining and any subsequent processing does not promote corrosion. Similarly, when determining a protective paint system, the shape and elements of the structure according to the environmental category should be taken into account.
