The Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) covering standards for anti-corrosion and coating in the marine sector mainly includes: ISO/TC2 of the International Organization for Standardization, ISO/TC8 of the International Organization for Standardization, and International Standardization Organization Paint and Varnish Technical Committee (ISO/TC35), International Organization for Standardization of Metals and Other Inorganic Coatings Technical Committee (ISO/TC107), International Organization for Standardization of Metals and Alloys Corrosion Technical Committee (ISO/TC156).
1. International Organization for Standardization of Fasteners Technical Committee (ISO/TC2)
In the marine and marine fields, fasteners are the most commonly used mechanical connection, and their reliability is directly related to the reliability of the system or equipment, as well as the overall safety. The long-running offshore platforms, ship systems, and corrosion of fasteners affect the safety of the equipment. The ISO/TC2 Fastener Technical Committee is chaired by the German Standardization Association (DIN) and is principally engaged in the standardization of fastener dimensions, tolerances, relevant test methods and acceptance procedures. ISO/TC2/SC14 deals with the standard for the surface coating of fasteners. As a subcommittee that has just been established, it is developing one standard and five international standards.
2. International Organization for Standardization Ship and Ocean Technology Committee (ISO/TC8)
The International Organization for Standardization Ship and Ocean Technology Committee (ISO/TC8) was established in 1947. It is the secretariat and chairman of China. It has published 326 international standards in the field of ships and oceans, and 129 standards in progress. ISO/TC8 is mainly engaged in the design, construction, armoring of large ships, as well as the development of international standards in the fields of marine environmental protection and maritime shipping (excluding offshore platform structures, boats with a length of 24 meters or less, ships and marine structures). Electrical and electronic equipment on the object).
3. International Standardization Organization Technical Committee for Paints and Varnishes (ISO/TC35)
As of January 2019, the ISO/TC35 Paint and Varnish Technical Committee issued a total of 247 international standards, 72 in the research standard, and the Secretariat of the Netherlands Institute of Standardization (NEN). The main areas of ISO/TC35 are the standardization of paints, varnishes and related products (including raw materials). In the field of ship anti-corrosion and coating, ISO/TC35 actively maintains liaison with ISO/TC8/SC8, ISO/TC8/SC12 and ISO/TC8/SC2 to jointly develop international standards in the marine and marine fields. The ISO/TC35 Secretariat has four working groups related to the international standards for marine anti-corrosion and coating, namely WG1 volatile organic compounds, WG2 terminology, WG4 paint and varnish adhesives, and WG5 marine coatings. In addition, ISO/TC35 also has three sub-technical committees related to ship anti-corrosion and coating, respectively: ISO/TC35/SC9 paint and varnish general test method sub-technical committee, ISO/TC35/SC12 before coating Technical Committee of Steel Surface Treatment Sub-Technical Committee, ISO/TC35/SC14 Steel Structure Protective Paint System Subcommittee.
4. International Organization for Standardization Metals and Other Inorganic Coatings Technical Committee (ISO/TC107)
The ISO/TC107 Metal and Other Inorganic Coatings Technical Committee is chaired by the Korea Technical Standards Agency (KATS). As of January 2019, a total of 148 international standards were issued and 19 were under research. In the anti-corrosion of ships, metal or non-metal coatings with protective effects are applied on the surface of steel by means of electroplating, melting, vacuum and chemical methods to achieve anti-corrosion effect. The ISO/TC107 Secretariat has two working groups related to ship anti-corrosion and coating, which are the thickness measurement methods for WG1 thermal spray and JWG4 coating, paint and varnish. JWG4 is a joint working group established by ISO/TC107 and ISO/TC35/SC9. ISO/TC107 has three sub-technical committees related to ship anti-corrosion and coating standards, namely ISO/TC107/SC3 Electroplating and Related Finishing Subcommittee, ISO/TC107/SC Hot Dip Coating Subcommittee and ISO/TC107 /SC7 Corrosion Test Subcommittee. Among them, ISO/TC107/SC4 also has a WG2 galvanizing working group. In addition, ISO/TC107 is also developing anti-corrosion standards related to offshore wind power.
5. International Organization for Standardization of Metals and Alloys Corrosion Technical Committee (ISO/TC156)
The ISO/TC156 Metal and Alloy Corrosion Technical Committee is set up by the China National Standardization Administration (SAC) in the China National Defense Corrosion Technology Association. As of January 2019, it has issued 99 international standards and 22 research standards. The main areas of ISO/TC156 include corrosion test methods, corrosion prevention methods and relevant standards for the corrosion control engineering life cycle. There are several working groups related to ship anti-corrosion and coating. In addition, ISO/TC156 also has ISO/TC156/SC1 corrosion control engineering life cycle sub-technical committee, which deals with the standardization of corrosion control engineering life cycle, involving terms and definitions, general requirements and evaluation of corrosion control engineering life cycle. The committee was established in 2016 and is currently studying 3 international standards.
