This European Standard specifies performance requirements for powder coatings applied to galvanized or
sherardised steel products, for architectural (internal and external application), fencing and construction
purposes. Galvanized steel products can be articles batch hot dip galvanized (galvanized after fabrication) or
articles consisting of continuously hot-dip galvanized sheet which is then subsequently fabricated. This
standard does not apply to articles with zinc-aluminium coatings or aluminium-zinc coatings, or to continuously
hot dip galvanized wire. Requirements for cleaning and pre-treatment of the galvanized or sherardised steel
products prior to powder coating are also specified.
