This International Standard defines a number of generic terms relating to various processes of surface treatment. The list is not complete and only comprises those terms for which the definition is considered necessary in order to clarify the scope of these processes.
NOTES
1 In addition to terms used in the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), this International Standard includes the equivalent terms in the German language; these have been included, for information, at the request of Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, and the member bodies for the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria and Switzerland have verified their equivalence. However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions.
2 Some of the terms and definitions used in the watch case and jewelry industries for gold alloy coatings are different from those given in this International Standard and in some countries are governed by law. Definitions of some terms relating to watch cases are defined in ISO 3160, Watch cases and their accessories — General requirements for gold alloy coverings.
