ISO 14713-1 Zinc Coatings, Standard Test for Corrosion Protection of Iron and Steel in Structures

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 14713-1 standard. ISO 14713-1 provides guidelines and recommendations regarding the general principles of design suitable for products to be zinc plated for corrosion protection and the level of corrosion resistance afforded by zinc coatings applied to iron or steel products exposed to a variety of conditions.

Initial protection is covered in relation to:

• Current standard processes;
• Design considerations and
• Usage environments.

ISO 14713-1 applies to zinc coatings applied by the following processes:

• Hot-dip galvanized coatings (post-factory applied);
• Hot-dip galvanized coatings (applied to continuous sheet metal);
• Fragmented veneers;
• Thermal spray coatings;
• Mechanically coated coatings;
• Electrodeposition coatings.

These guidelines and recommendations do not deal with the maintenance of in-service corrosion protection for zinc-plated steel. Guidance on this topic can be found in ISO 12944‑5 and ISO 12944‑8.
