Introduction
Unprotected stel inthe atmosphere in water and in soll is subjected to corrosion that ca lead to
damage Therefore, to avoid corrsion damage, ste structures are normally protected to withstand
the corrosion stresses to which they will besubjected during the service fe requlred ofthe structure
‘There are diferent ways of protein tel structures from corrosion, 80 12944 al parts) deals with
protection by pntsystems and covers, inte various parts ll features thatare importants acleving
equate corrosion protection. Additional or other measures are possible but require particular
Sgreement between the intrested partes.
Inordertoensurecffctive corosion protection of steal strotures,ownersofsuch structures, planners
tinaultants, companies carrying cut corresion protection work, iapectors of protective coatings
Sind manufacturers of coating materials need to have a ther disposal state-ofthe art Information in
‘concise form on corrosion protectin by paint systems [is vital hat such informations 25 complete as
possible unambiguous and easily understandable to avoid difcultes and misunderstanings between
{he parties concerned with the practical implementation of protection work,
180 12944 (al parts) Is intended» give ths information Inthe form ofa seles of Instructions tis
written or those who have some etnical knowiedge. Its also assured thatthe user of 50 12943 (all
arts) sft with other relent latermtionl Standards im particular those dealing with surface
reparation.
Although 180 12964 (ll parts) doesnot del with financial and contractual questions attention is
Arawa to the fat tha, because ofthe considerable implications of Inadequate corrosion protection,
‘nom compliance with requirements and recommendations given in ISD 12944 (ll parts) can result it
Serious nana eonseences
180 1296441 defines the overall cope of ISO 12944. It gives some base terms and definitions and
general introduction t the other parts of 10 12943. Furthermore it includes «general statement on

‘Thisdocument describes the different types of surface tobe protected and gives information on surface
‘reparation methods such as chemical and mechanical cleaning It deals with surface preparation
trades, surface profile (rouphnes) astessment of prepared surfaces, temporaty protection of
Drepared surfaces, preparation of temporary protected surfaces for further coatings, preparation of
