The NACE SP21461-2020 standard serves as a guide for assessing the corrosion conditions of steel frame buildings with masonry cladding. It goes beyond basic visual inspection and sounding techniques for evaluating corrosion, providing a comprehensive framework for conducting thorough evaluations. The standard includes techniques for identifying both general and localized corrosion in masonry-clad steel frame buildings.

The intended audience for this standard includes corrosion specialists, historic architects, structural engineers, and exterior building envelope consultants involved in the evaluation of steel frame corrosion and its impact on masonry cladding. Additionally, it can be a valuable resource for owners of historic buildings whose durability may be affected by corrosion in steel frames.
