BS EN ISO 14713-3:2017 PDF Download

BS EN ISO 14713-3:2017 is a standard that provides guidelines and recommendations for the protection against corrosion of iron and steel in structures using sherardizing. It focuses on the general principles of design appropriate for articles to be sherardized for corrosion protection. This standard is applicable to those involved in the sherardizing process, including manufacturers, retailers, and users of zinc coated iron and steel products, as well as designers, engineers, architects, and the construction industry.

The standard emphasizes that the effectiveness of the sherardized coating in providing corrosion protection depends on factors such as the method of application of the coating, the design of the article being coated, and the specific environmental conditions to which the article is exposed. It provides the most up-to-date technical recommendations for achieving effective corrosion protection through sherardizing.

BS EN ISO 14713-3 also covers topics such as storage and transport of the coated articles, the impact of article condition on the quality of the sherardizing process, and the effect of the process on the article. It also discusses after-treatment considerations.

In terms of changes in the latest revision of the standard, there are minor amendments. These include updates to Table 1 to align coating classes with BS EN ISO 17668, as well as amendments to the clearance recommendations for threaded components in section 4.4.
