BS EN ISO 14713-1:2017

What is this standard about? 

BS EN ISO 14713-1 provides guidelines for design appropriate for the zinc coating of iron or steel articles to protect them from corrosion. It also outlines the level of corrosion resistance provided by zinc coatings applied to iron or steel articles, exposed to a variety of environments.

Who is this standard for?

• Manufacturers, retailers, users of iron and steel zinc coated products
• Designers, engineers, architects
• The construction industry
• Environmental, health and safety and regulatory bodies

Why should you use this standard? 

BS EN ISO 14713-1 has undergone a technical revision to bring it in line with international standards and now provides the most up-to-date requirements on processes, design considerations and environments for use. It applies to zinc coatings applied by the following processes:

1. Hot dip galvanized coatings (applied after fabrication)
2. Hot dip galvanized coatings (applied onto continuous sheet)
3. Sherardized coatings
4. Thermal sprayed coatings
5. Mechanically plated coatings
6. Electrodeposited coatings

What’s changed since the last update?

This latest update constitutes a minor revision and includes the following changes:

• Revisions to Table 1 to align with corresponding descriptions of typical environments in BS EN ISO 9223 Table C1
• Amendments to make clearer that the corrosion rates presented are for the first year of exposure
