Foreword
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 electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 1456 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings,
Subcommittee SC 3, Electrodeposited coatings and related finishes.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 1456:2003), which has been technically and
editorially revised. This edition also cancels and replaces ISO 1458:2002.

Introduction
This International Standard is a revised version of ISO 1456:2003: Metallic coatings — Electrodeposited
coatings of nickel plus chromium and of copper plus nickel plus chromium incorporating ISO 1458:2002:
Metallic coatings — Electrodeposited coatings of nickel.
Decorative, electrodeposited nickel coatings, with and without copper undercoats and without chromium top-
coats, are suitable for applications in which tarnishing could be prevented by avoiding rubbing or handling in
service or by the use of topcoats other than chromium. They are also suitable for those applications where
tarnishing is of no importance. Corrosion resistance depends on the type and thickness of the coatings.
Decorative, electrodeposited nickel plus chromium and copper plus nickel plus chromium coatings are applied
to manufactured articles to enhance their appearance and corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance depends
on the type and thickness of the coatings. In general, multilayer nickel coatings provide better corrosion
resistance than single-layer nickel coatings of equal thickness, and micro-discontinuous chromium coatings
provide better protection than conventional chromium.

Solidi (/) shall be used to separate data fields in the designation corresponding to the different sequential
processing steps. Double separators or solidi indicate that a step in the process is either not required or has
been omitted (see the Bibliography).
It is recommended that the specific alloy be identified by its standard designation following the chemical
symbol of the basis metal; for example, its UNS number, or the national or regional equivalent may be placed
between the symbols < >. For example, Fe is the UNS designation for one high-strength steel. (See
Bibliography.)
EXAMPLE
A coating on steel comprising 20 µm (minimum) ductile, levelling copper plus 30 µm (minimum) bright nickel plus 0,3 µm
micro-cracked chromium is designated as follows:

ISO/DIS 1456
Foreword
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 electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
International Standard ISO 1456 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other
inorganic coatings, Subcommittee SC 3, Electrodeposited coatings and related finishes.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 1456:2002), which has been editorially and
technically revised.
This edition incorporates ISO 1458:2003, third edition, and cancels ISO 1458:2002
Annexes A is informative and B to D form a normative part of this International Standard.

ISO/DIS 1456
Introduction
Decorative, electrodeposited nickel coatings with and without copper undercoats and without chromium top-
coats are suitable for applications in which tarnishing is prevented by rubbing or handling in service or by the
use of topcoats other than chromium. They are also suitable for those applications where tarnishing is of no
importance. Corrosion resistance depends on the type and thickness of the coatings.
Decorative, electrodeposited nickel plus chromium and copper plus nickel plus chromium coatings are applied
to manufactured articles to enhance their appearance and corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance depends
on the type and thickness of the coatings. In general, multilayer nickel coatings provide better corrosion
resistance than single-layer nickel coatings of equal thickness, and micro-discontinuous chromium coatings
provide better protection than conventional chromium.
This International Standard is a revised and harmonised version incorporating ISO 1458.

DRAFT ISO/DIS 1456
Metallic and other inorganic coatings — Electrodeposited
coatings of nickel, nickel plus chromium and of copper plus
nickel plus chromium
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for decorative, nickel, nickel plus chromium, and copper
plus nickel plus chromium coatings that are applied to iron, steel, zinc alloys, copper and copper alloys, and to
aluminium and aluminium alloys to provide an attractive appearance and enhanced corrosion resistance.
Coating designations are specified that differ in thickness and type, and guidance is given in selecting the
coating designation appropriate to the service conditions to which the coated product will be exposed.
This International Standard does not specify the surface condition required by the basis metal prior to the
coating process, and is not applicable to coatings on sheet, strip or wire in the non-fabricated form nor to
threaded fasteners or coil springs.
This revised International Standard incorporates ISO 1458.
Requirements for decorative, electroplated copper plus nickel plus chromium coatings on plastic materials are
specified in ISO 4525. ISO 4526 and ISO 6158 specify requirements for coatings of nickel and chromium,
respectively, for engineering purposes.
WARNING - This International Standard may not be compliant with some countries’ health and safety legislations and
calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate safety measures are not
taken. This International Standard does not address any health hazards, safety or environmental matters and legislations
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate health,
safety and environmentally acceptable practices and take suitable actions to comply with any national and International
regulations. Compliance with this International Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
