ISO 12944.5-2019 Paints and varnishes Protective paint systems for corrosion protection against steel structures – Part 5: Protective paint systems

introduction
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a global alliance of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The development of international standards is usually carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member institution interested in a subject on which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with ISO are also involved in this work. ISO works closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those used for further maintenance are described in Part 1 of the ISO/IEC Directive. In particular, attention should be paid to the different approval criteria required for different types of ISO documents. This document has been drafted in accordance with the editing rules of ISO/IEC Directive Part 2 (see iso.org/directives).

Please note that certain elements of this document may be subject to patent rights. ISO is not responsible for identifying any or all such patents. Details of any patent rights identified during the preparation of the document will be found in the introduction and/or in the list of patent claims received by ISO (see iso.org/patents).

Any trade names used in this document are provided for the convenience of the user and do not constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and Varnishes, Subcommittee SC 14, Protective Coating Systems for Steel Structures.

The fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 12944-5:2018), which was a minor revision.

Compared with the previous edition, the changes are as follows:

– The original doubled category “G5.02” in Table D.1 is corrected to “G5.02A” and “G5.02b”;

– Correction of table headings in tables B.3 and B.4;

– Some editing changes.

introduce

Unprotected steel in the atmosphere, water and soil can be corroded, potentially causing damage. Therefore, in order to avoid corrosion damage, steel structures are usually protected to withstand corrosion stress during the required service life of the structure.

There are different ways to protect steel structures from corrosion. ISO 12944 (All parts) deals with the protection of coating systems and covers, and in the individual components, all functions are important to achieve adequate corrosion protection. Other measures or other measures may be taken, but require special agreement between the parties concerned.

In order to ensure the effective corrosion protection of steel structures, owners of such structures, planners, consultants, companies performing corrosion protection work, protective coating inspectors and coating material manufacturers need to have new information on the corrosion protection of coating systems. It goes without saying that such information should be as complete, clear and easy to understand as possible in order to avoid difficulties and misunderstandings in the actual implementation of protection work by the parties concerned.

ISO 12944 (all parts) aims to provide this information in the form of a series of instructions. It is written for those who have some technical knowledge. It is also assumed that users of ISO 12944 (all parts) are familiar with other relevant international standards, particularly those dealing with surface treatment.

While ISO 12944 (all parts) does not have financial and contractual implications, please be aware of the fact that failure to comply with the requirements and recommendations given in ISO 12944 (all parts) can lead to serious financial consequences due to the large impact of inadequate corrosion protection.

ISO 12944-1 defines the overall scope of ISO 12944. It provides some basic terms and definitions and Outlines the rest of ISO 12944. In addition, it includes a general statement on health, safety and environmental protection, as well as guidance on the use of ISO 12944 (all parts) in specific projects.

This document gives some terms and definitions related to coating systems, combined with guidelines for choosing different types of protective coating systems.

1 Range
This document describes the types of paints and paint systems commonly used for corrosion protection of steel structures.

It also provides guidance for selecting a coating system suitable for different environments (see ISO 12944-2), in addition to the corrosive classes CX and Im4 classes defined in ISO 12944-2 as well as different surface treatment classes (see ISO 12944-4) and expected durability classes (see ISO 12944-1).
