BS EN 17059:2018

What is BS EN 17059- Plating and anodizing lines about?  

BS EN 17059 describes all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relating to plating and anodizing lines, when used as intended and in compliance with the foreseeable conditions of the manufacturer.  

BS EN 17059 applies to the design and construction of plating lines and anodizing lines including their transporter systems for surface treatment of industrial products by means of inorganic or organic electrolytes or by means of other processes chemistries. 

Plating lines and anodizing lines in terms of this standard are arrangements of process tanks for: 

• Electrolytic treatment of workpieces  
• Wet chemical treatment of workpieces  
• Electrolytic and electroless metal deposition, even on non-metallic workpieces made electrically conductive by corresponding treatment 
• Changing of substance composition on the surface of metallic workpieces  
• Anodizing including rinsing tanks and the corresponding transporter equipment, where the products are lifted in and out of tanks 

BS EN 17059 distinguishes between the following types of plating lines: 

• Type 1: Manual lines 
• Type 2: Semi-automatic lines 
• Type 3: Fully automatic lines
