This European Standard, a part of the BS EN 10244 series, specifies the requirement for coating mass, other properties and testing of zinc and zinc alloy coatings on steel wire and steel wire products of circular or other section.
In the case of wire with a zinc or zinc alloy coating, the mass of the coating is determined either by the gravimetric method or the volumetric method.
The test methods in this standard do not necessarily include in detail all the precautions necessary to satisfy hygiene and safety requirements in the workplace.
