Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 rinsed chromate coating chromate coating that is rinsed in water prior to drying SIST EN 12487:2007

NOTE This type of coating is normally used on long coils of aluminium sheet stock that receive immediate painting or adhesive coating.
4 Information to be supplied by the purchaser The following information shall be supplied by the purchaser: a) coating designation (see clause 5); b) sampling methods, acceptance levels or any other inspection requirements if different from those given in ISO 4519 (see clause 6); c) surface preparation prior to chromate conversion coating (see Annex A for guidance);
d) requirements for adhesion (see 7.3) and corrosion resistance (see 7.6); e) nature, condition and finish of the basis metal, if any of these could affect the serviceability and/or appearance of the coating. WARNING —Use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Chemicals and materials shall be used and disposed of in a professional and environmentally suitable manner. 5 Coating types and designation 5.1 Coating types A conversion coating shall be referred to as type A, type C1, or type E1 in accordance with Table 1. NOTE Annex A provides guidance on coating type, purpose, end use and mass per unit area. SIST EN 12487:2007

Table 1 — Types of chromate conversion coating Type Appearance Coating mass per unit area(g/m²) Other properties A Colourless 0,05 to 0,2 Decorative, low insulation resistance C1 Yellow (light to iridescent) 0,4 to 1,0 Used as a paint base and for bonding to rubber E1 Light green 0,4 to 1,2 Used as a paint base and for bonding to rubber NOTE For chromated long coils for types C1 and E1, the coating mass 0,5 g/m2 to 0,8 g/m2 is recommended.
5.2 Conversion coating designation The conversion coating designation shall be comprised of the following: a) number of this European Standard; b) hyphen; c) aluminium alloy designation in accordance with EN 573-1, EN 573-2 and EN 573-3 (wrought aluminium alloys), EN 485 parts 1 through 4 (cast aluminium alloys) and the temper designation in accordance with EN 515; d) solidus; e) symbol designating the type of coating (see Table 1 and NOTE 1 below). If the chromate conversion coating has to be after-treated, the designation shall also be comprised of the following: f) solidus; g) symbol indicating any after-treatment of the conversion coating as specified in Table B.1, Annex B (also see NOTE 2 below). NOTE 1 It is recommended that the chemical symbol is followed by the standard designation of the basis metal. NOTE 2 This can be repeated if more after-treatments are required. EXAMPLE The designation of a chromate conversion coating with a coating mass of 0,4 g/m2 to 1,2 g/m2 (E1) on wrought aluminium alloy EN AW-6060 T6, that has been after-treated with the application of inorganic or organic sealant (T2) is: Chromate conversion coating EN 12487-EN AW 6060 T6/E1/T2. 6 Sampling Sampling shall either be carried out in accordance with ISO 4519 or as specified by the purchaser (see
clause 4, b)). SIST EN 12487:2007

The coatings shall be adherent and non-powdery. The conversion coating shall pass the test described in 7.3.2 or 7.3.3. 7.3.2
Rub the dried surface with white soft tissue paper using normal hand pressure, making 10 movements. This treatment shall not leave any trace of staining on the paper.
7.3.3
If the test described in 7.3.2 is not sufficient to measure the adhesion of a conversion coating on aluminium, carry out a practical evaluation of the adhesion by measuring the adhesion of a secondary organic film applied to the chromated aluminium. 7.4 Coating mass per unit area For all but thin (type A) coatings, the coating mass per unit area of chromate and chromate-phosphate coatings on aluminium shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 3892 or with the methods described in C.2 to C.4. For thin (type A) chromate coatings, the coating mass per unit area shall be determined in accordance with C.3 and C.4. NOTE For thin chromate coatings, the errors associated with the methods described in EN ISO 3892 are unacceptably high. 7.5 Coating identification 7.5.1 General The test methods specified in Annex D shall be used to determine the presence or absence of relevant chemical elements in the conversion coating. 7.5.2 Chromate conversion coatings (yellow) The presence of chromium and the absence of phosphate in the coating shall identify the layer as a chromate conversion coating. The layer may contain hexavalent chromium. 7.5.3 Chromate phosphate coatings (green) The presence of phosphate and chromium and the absence of zinc shall identify the layer as a chromate-phosphate conversion coating. The layer consists of trivalent chromium. SIST EN 12487:2007
