ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee [or Project Committee] ISO/TC 156, [corrosion of

metals and alloys], Subcommittee SC 1, [corrosion control engineering life cycle].

Corrosion Control Engineering Life Cycle standardization is expected to develop the corresponding

requirements and the control standards for all elements influencing the entire chain of Corrosion

Control Engineering Life Cycle. The elements include: corrosion sources, materials, technology, research

and development, design, manufacturing, construction, storage and transportation, installation and

commissioning, acceptance, operation, maintenance, repair, lifetime extension, scrapping and disposal,

documents and records, resource management, comprehensive assessment of the corrosion control

Adopt corresponding existing technologies, professional management standards to achieve the

systemic life cycle via optimizing each other in coordination. If there is a professional technical or

professional management standard that needs to be further developed, it will be recommended to

the corresponding standardization committee to develop, select, adopt and implement. Meanwhile, it

should identify procedurally all elements in the implementation and submit traceable and supportive

documentation and records to demonstrate that the requirements of this standard have been carried

The completeness and verifiability of the program is emphasized. The lack of holistic, systematic, and

comprehensive control in the entire corrosion control life cycle is precisely the shortcoming that is the

important reason for the major insecurity that continue to be caused by corrosion and urgent need to

solve. This document is to propose the control requirements for the entire process and all elements

from system engineering and the whole life cycle perspective to achieve the optimal benefits of safety,

Corrosion Control Engineering Life Cycle standard system planning is divided into three levels (see

2) Supplement standards: basic terms, standard system guide, risk assessment, economy

assessment, intelligent technical specification, general requirements of corrosion control

Develop the standards for the typical corrosion control engineering areas which have serious corrosion,

safety related problems and involve a wide range, such as power plants (nuclear power, thermal power,

hydropower, wind, photovoltaic), chemical plants, reinforced concrete, pipelines, etc. According to the

model of main standards’ development, develop the corresponding specific standards for the life cycle

According to the first level standards or second level standards, develop corresponding third level

standards that can be implemented specifically for the corrosion control to a specific project, program

This standard is the first-level standard of the whole “Corrosion control engineering life cycle” standard

series. As the basic standard of whole corrosion standards, the positioning of this document should be

most general. This is because, the corrosion exists every industry and the subjects to be protected have

different corrosion environment, condition and different corrosion control requirements. It should not

position to specific corrosion environment and condition to make corrosion technical requirement

(these standards have been under development by related standard committees). Above has been

stressed again in the committee proposal reason and working scope, and it is also the difference

between other corrosion related corrosion committee. The key is still the elements in corrosion life

cycle (these elements must be considered in whole corrosion control engineering life cycle, any lack,

loss or inappropriate controlled element may cause failure of corrosion control, even lead to disaster).

This document is for all the corrosion control engineering life cycle to all the industry, so it should be

This document specifies the general requirements for control elements in the life cycle of corrosion

control engineering. It aims to address the current industry-wide existing issues of “only focusing on

single, isolated corrosion stage approach”, and gives a systematic approach to solve existing corrosion

problems. It aims to link the gaps between different stages of the corrosion control.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

The entire life cycle of the corrosion control engineering defines the links, nodes and key elements during

the whole process of lifespan. And it defines all the elements in the corrosion engineering control chain.

Precautions should be taken, and counteractions should be prepared against possible deviation of

the expected objectives or corresponding standards, etc., during the entire life cycle of the corrosion

The process and behaviour that influences and manages the conditions and objectives given throughout

Giving emergency signal and taking appropriate measures in advance before a disaster or other

dangers that need to be monitored, so to prevent the occurrence of the hazard without awareness or

preparation, thereby minimizing or avoiding the damage caused by the disaster or danger.

The corresponding measures for environmental protection, resource consumption, engineering waste

Any sub-part, assembly, portion, process that is a part of, or contributes to the final assembly.

4.1 This document defines the corrosion control activities conducted the entire engineering life cycle,

as well as regulates all the elements like the objectives, corrosion sources, materials, technology, design,

research and development, manufacturing, construction, storage and transportation, installation and

commissioning, acceptance, operation, maintenance, repair, scrapping and disposal, documents and

records, resource management, comprehensive assessments, etc. This document is specified to meet

overall, systematic, coordinated, and optimized principles, and to achieve the optimum benefits of

economy, long-term operation and environmental protection on the basis of the operation of economic

society which shall ensure human health, people's life and property safety, national security and

management standards, specifications and test methods which are in relation to the links, nodes and

5.1 Corrosion control engineering efforts shall aim at improving the integrity, systematization, mutual

coordination and optimization of the main life cycle, so that corrosion can be effectively controlled, and

to achieve the optimum benefits of safety, economy, long-term operation and environmental protection.

5.2 Corrosion control engineering efforts shall be composed of separated parts based on specific

components and technologies. and implemented in all elements of the life cycle, and they shall be

communicated, implemented, and maintained in all aspects of the life cycle. The objectives shall make the

life cycle of the corrosion control engineering be adapted to the life cycle of the protected main program,

and the objectives shall be regularly reviewed and improved to ensure their suitability. In general, the

service life of serviceable or replaceable materials and equipment can be shorter than that of the main

program. The service life of non-serviceable materials and equipment shall be consistent with the life
