What is ISO 14713‑2 about?
ISO 14713 discusses the guidelines and recommendations for the protection against corrosion of iron and steel used in structures.
ISO 14713‑2 is the second part of a multi-part series that specifies guidelines and recommendations regarding general principles of design appropriate to articles to be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication for corrosion protection.
Note 1: ISO 14713‑2 does not apply to hot-dip galvanized coatings applied to continuous wire or sheet.
Who is ISO 14713‑2 for?
ISO 14713‑2 on hot-dip galvanizing is relevant to:
- Iron and steel manufacturers
- Construction companies
- Civil engineers
- Builders
Why should you use ISO 14713‑2?
The iron and steel that are used in structures use hot-grip galvanizing after fabrication for protection against corrosion.
The protection afforded by the hot-dip galvanized coating depends upon the method of application of the coating, the design of the article, and the specific environment to which the article is exposed.
Recommendations mentioned under ISO 14713‑2 assists in protecting steel and iron structures from corrosion activity thus, are useful for producing high-quality structures.
ISO 14713‑2 guides the user in building a high-quality product that has global acceptance in the market and goes a long way without getting corrupted by corrosion.
Efficient use of the ISO 14713‑2 can protect the iron and steel from getting corrupted by corrosion in structures and thus can enhance the durability and quality of the structures.
