    ISO 12944 - Protective Paint Systems for Steel

    Prevent steel structures from corroding with protective paint and varnish systems. This series specifies all the steps needed for their effective use.

    Maintain the integrity and longevity of steel structures by preventing them from corroding with protective paint.

    Ensure the durability of steel structures exposed to various environmental conditions with the nine-part ISO 12944 series, used across multiple industries including construction and energy.

    ISO 12944 classifies both protective paint systems and environments using them. It covers design considerations, differing surface preparations, and the execution and supervision of paintwork. Laboratory performance test methods are also covered, with part nine focusing on offshore structures.

    The standard includes inspection, maintenance, and repair guidelines for protective system life extension. It is important for all involved in steel structure design and protection, allowing them to create structures protected from corrosion damage.
