BS EN ISO 19598:2016

This standard BS EN ISO 19598:2016 Metallic coatings. Electroplated coatings of zinc and zinc alloys on iron or steel with supplementary Cr(VI)-free treatment is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.220.40 Metallic coatings

This International Standard applies to electrodeposited zinc and zinc-alloy coatings on iron and steel with Cr(VI)-free passivation. The zinc-alloy coatings contain nickel or iron as alloying elements (referred to as zinc/nickel and zinc/iron coatings, respectively).

The main purpose of the coatings or coating systems is protecting iron and steel components against corrosion.

This International Standard specifies

• the designations to be used for the above coating systems,

• the minimum corrosion resistance to be achieved in specified test procedures, and

• the minimum coating thicknesses required.
