What is this standard about?
BS EN ISO 14713-3 provides guidelines and recommendations regarding the general principles of design appropriate for articles to be sherardized for corrosion protection.
Who is this standard for?
- Those specifically involved with the sherardizing process
- Manufacturers, retailers, users of zinc coated iron and steel products
- Designers, engineers, architects
- The construction industry
- Health and safety and environmental consultants
Why should you use this standard?
Sherardizing is a thermal diffusion process and most steel and iron zinc coated articles can be sherardized. The protection afforded by the sherardized coating to the article will depend upon the method of application of the coating, the design of the article and the specific environment to which the article is exposed. BS EN ISO 14713-3 gives the most up-to-date technical recommendations involved with this process of corrosion protection.
It also covers storage and transport and examines the effect of article condition on the quality of sherardizing and the effect of the process on the article. It also considers after-treatment.
What’s changed since the last update?
This latest update constitutes a minor revision and includes the following changes:
- Table 1 has been amended to align coating classes with BS EN ISO 17668
- Amendments to the clearance recommendations for threaded components in section 4.4
