ISO 14713

ISO 14713:2017 specifies guidance and principles for the protection of iron and steel against corrosion through hot-dip galvanizing. This international standard plays a vital role in enhancing the durability and life cycle of steel products across various industries. Issued by the International Organization for Standardization, ISO 14713 serves as a fundamental reference for manufacturers, fabricators, engineers, and project managers involved in steel design and production, where corrosion resistance is critical.

Quality Asia Certification offers globally recognized ISO 14713:2017 certification services to help organizations ensure compliance with best practices for metallic coatings and corrosion protection.

What is ISO 14713?

ISO 14713:2017"Zinc coatings – Guidelines and recommendations for the protection against corrosion of iron and steel in structures – Part 1: General principles of design and corrosion resistance", provides a set of recommendations for the selection and design of hot-dip galvanized coatings. The standard includes three parts:

  1. Part 1: General principles of design and corrosion resistance
  2. Part 2: Hot dip galvanizing
  3. Part 3: Sherardizing

ISO 14713:2017 is not a testing standard, but rather a guidance document supporting ISO 1461 and ISO 2063 for steel structures exposed to atmospheric and other environments.

Why is ISO 14713 important?

Corrosion in steel structures leads to massive financial and structural losses every year. ISO 14713:2017 addresses this issue with structured guidance that ensures:

  1. Selection of the most appropriate galvanizing technique based on environmental and structural conditions.
  2. Cost-effective maintenance strategies and long-term durability of metal structures.
  3. Compliance with international standards in steel construction and infrastructure projects.

Organizations involved in civil construction, metal fabrication, transportation, power, oil & gas, or infrastructure projects can greatly benefit from implementing ISO 14713:2017.

What are the benefits of ISO 14713?

  1. Ensures optimal design for corrosion-resistant steel structures.
  2. Supports selection of zinc coatings best suited to environmental exposure.
  3. Reduces the need for frequent repairs and repainting of galvanized steel.
  4. Enhances alignment with ISO 1461 and ISO 2063 for coating performance.
  5. Provides a standardized guideline to improve product reliability and safety.
  6. Boosts international project acceptance and stakeholder trust.

What kind of businesses can benefit from ISO 14713?

ISO 14713:2017 certification helps your business by:

Extending asset life: Significantly reduces corrosion-related deterioration, increasing the operational life of steel structures.

Reducing maintenance cost: Minimizes recurring costs related to repainting, recoating, or replacing corroded parts.

Improving product performance: Ensures high structural integrity and consistent quality in all weather and environmental conditions.

Enhancing customer confidence: Demonstrates a commitment to global best practices and quality assurance in design and fabrication.

Facilitating global trade: Strengthens compliance in international markets where ISO-based specifications are preferred or mandated.

Supporting sustainability: Reduces environmental impact by lowering waste generated through metal deterioration and repairs.
