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 1461 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings,
Subcommittee SC 4, Hot dip coatings (galvanized, etc.).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1461:1999), which has been technically
revised. This revision reflects the experience gained in the use of ISO 1461 and includes a simplification of
procedures and presentation.
Significant changes to the text include the following:
⎯ further refining of the scope of application of the standard to exclude woven or welded mesh products that
are continuously galvanized;
⎯ adding a definition for weld seepage in Clause 3;
⎯ adding references to the availability of secondary zinc supply;
⎯ adding explanatory notes on coating finish;
⎯ simplifying requirements for sampling and testing;
⎯ adding references for the use of alternative renovation materials and for methods of adhesion testing;
⎯ moving much informative information on the influence of the basis metal on the hot dip galvanized
[8]
coatings produced and designed for galvanizing into the guidance document ISO 14713-2 .

4 General requirements
4.1 General
This International Standard sets out requirements for the contents of the zinc melt used to apply a galvanized
coating to articles (see 4.2). The chemical composition and the surface condition (finish and roughness) of the
basis metal, the mass of the parts and the galvanizing conditions may affect the appearance, thickness,
texture and physical/mechanical properties of the coating. This International Standard does not define any
[8]
requirements regarding these points. Guidance on these parameters can be found in ISO 14713-2 .
4.2 Hot dip galvanizing bath
The hot dip galvanizing bath shall primarily contain molten zinc. The total of the other elements (as identified
in ISO 752, EN 1179 or EN 13283, excluding tin and iron) in the molten zinc shall not exceed 1,5 % by mass.
4.3 Information to be supplied by the purchaser
The information listed in Annex A (Clauses A.1 and A.2) shall be supplied by the purchaser.

SIST EN ISO 1461:2009
ISO 1461:2009(E)
4.4 Safety
Venting and draining shall be provided for in accordance with Annex B.
5 Acceptance inspection and sampling
Acceptance inspection can be undertaken by, or on behalf of, the purchaser and shall be undertaken before
the products leave the hot dip galvanizers custody, unless otherwise specified at the time of ordering by the
purchaser. Acceptance inspection involves assessment of the appearance of the coated product and testing
of the zinc coating thickness. Adhesion tests are normally not carried out and are only tested by agreement.
If the customer requires this, a control sample for thickness testing shall be taken randomly from each
inspection lot (3.13) selected for testing. The minimum number of articles from each inspection lot that forms
the control sample shall be in accordance with Table 1.
Table 1 — Control sample size related to lot size
Minimum number of articles
Number of articles in lot
in the control sample
1 to 3 All
4 to 500 3
501 to 1 200 5
1 201 to 3 200 8
3 201 to 10 000 13
> 10 000 20

6 Coating properties
6.1 Appearance
At acceptance inspection, the significant surface(s) of all the hot dip galvanized article(s), when first examined
by normal or corrected vision from a distance of not less than 1 m, shall be free from nodules, blisters
(i.e. raised areas without solid metal beneath), roughness and sharp points (if either can cause injury) and
uncoated areas.
The primary purpose of the galvanized coating is to protect the underlying iron or steelwork against corrosion.
Considerations related to aesthetics or decorative features should be secondary. Where these secondary
features are also of importance, it is highly recommended that the galvanizer and customer agree upon the
standard of finish that is achievable on the iron or steelwork (in total or in part), given the range of materials
used to form the article. This is of particular importance where the required standard of finish is beyond that
set out in this subclause. It should be noted that “roughness” and “smoothness” are relative terms and the
roughness of coatings on articles galvanized after fabrication differs from that of mechanically wiped products,
such as galvanized sheet, tube and wire. In practice, it is not possible to establish a definition of appearance
and finish covering all requirements.
The occurrence of darker or lighter areas (e.g. cellular pattern or dark grey areas) or some surface
unevenness shall not be a cause for rejection. The development of wet storage staining, primarily basic zinc
oxide (formed during storage in humid conditions after hot dip galvanizing), shall not be a cause for rejection,
providing the coating thickness remains above the specified minimum value.

SIST EN ISO 1461:2009
ISO 1461:2009(E)
NOTE In certain circumstances, for example, where the galvanized article is to receive a further treatment or
application of additional coatings, the purchaser might ask the galvanizer
a) not to quench the article, and/or
b) to take measures to prevent the formation of corrosion products on the surface of the galvanized coating during
storage and transport.
Flux residues shall not be permitted. Lumps and zinc ash shall not be permitted where they might affect the
[7]
intended use of the hot dip galvanized article or its corrosion resistance requirement (see ISO 14713-1 for
corrosion protection performance data).
Aesthetic effects (e.g. weld seepage) resulting from the use of intermittent welds around overlapping surfaces
in the fabrication should not be a cause for rejection. Use of this type of welding pattern often results from
[8]
consideration of health and safety issues. Further guidance is given in ISO 14713-2 .
Articles that fail visual inspection shall be renovated in accordance with 6.3. Otherwise, the articles shall be
regalvanized and resubmitted for inspection.
When particular requirements exist (for example, when the galvanized coating is to be painted), a sample
shall be produced [see A.2 f)] at the purchaser's request.
6.2 Thickness
6.2.1 General
Coatings applied by hot dip galvanizing are designed to protect the iron and steel products against corrosion
(see Annex E). The length of time of corrosion protection by such coatings is approximately proportional to the
[7]
coating thickness (see ISO 14713-1 ).
6.2.2 Test methods
In case of dispute regarding the test method, the method of calculating the coating thickness shall be by the
determination of the mean mass of hot dip galvanized coating per unit area using the gravimetric method in
3
accordance with ISO 1460, and the nominal density of the coating, 7,2 g/cm , shall be used for calculation
purposes. Where less than 10 articles are involved, the purchaser shall not have to accept the gravimetric test
if that would involve the destruction of articles and unacceptable remedial costs to the purchaser.
Tests (see Annex D) are most commonly carried out by one of the magnetic methods given in ISO 2808 and
ISO 2178 (also specified in ISO 3882). Instruments for magnetic methods measure either the magnetic
attraction between a permanent magnet and the base metal, as influenced by the presence of the coating, or
the reluctance of the magnetic flux path passing through the coating and the base metal. Alternative methods
include the gravimetric and the microscopic cross-section methods (see Annex D).
The test methods given in ISO 2808 and ISO 2178 (also reviewed in ISO 3882) are most appropriate within
works and for routine quality control. Because the area on which each measurement is made in these
methods is very small, individual figures may be lower than the values for the local or mean coating thickness.
If a sufficient number of measurements is made within a reference area, effectively the same local thickness
will be determined by magnetic as well as gravimetric methods.
6.2.3 Reference areas
The number and position of reference areas and their sizes for the magnetic or gravimetric test shall be
chosen with regard to the shapes and sizes of the article(s) in order to obtain a result as representative as
possible of mean coating thickness or mass per unit area, as applicable. On a long article in the control
sample, the reference areas shall be cut approximately 100 mm from the edges and 100 mm from each end
and the approximate centre, and shall comprise the whole cross-section of the article.

The number of reference areas, dependent upon the size of the individual articles in the control sample, shall
be as identified in Table 2.

2 2
NOTE 2 m = 200 cm × 100 cm; 100 cm = 10 cm × 10 cm.

2
For articles in category a in Table 2, with a significant surface area greater than 2 m (“large” articles) for each
article (taken separately) in the control sample, the mean coating thickness within the reference areas shall be
equal to or greater than the mean coating thickness values in Table 3 or Table 4.
In categories b, c and d in Table 2, the average coating thickness on each reference area shall be equal to or
greater than the “local coating thickness” values given in Tables 3 or 4, as appropriate. The average coating
thickness on all reference areas in a sample shall be equal to or greater than the “mean coating thickness”
values given in Tables 3 or 4, as appropriate.
2
For category d in Table 2 only, N is the sufficient number of articles to provide a minimum of 10 cm of
significant surface for an individual reference area. The total number of articles tested equals the number of
articles required to provide one reference area, N, multiplied by the appropriate number from the second
column of Table 1 related to the size of the lot (or the total number of articles galvanized if that is less).
Alternatively, sampling procedures selected from ISO 2859-1, ISO 2859-2 or ISO 2859-3 shall be used.
When the zinc coating thickness is determined by the magnetic method in accordance with ISO 2178, the
reference areas shall be within, and representative of, those that would have been chosen for the gravimetric
method.
2
When more than five articles have to be taken to make up a reference area of at least 10 cm , a single
magnetic measurement shall be taken on each article if a suitable area of significant surface exists; if not, the
gravimetric test shall be used.
2
Within each reference area of 10 cm , a minimum of five magnetic test readings shall be taken on coated
areas. If any of the individual readings is lower than the values in Tables 3 or 4, this is irrelevant, as only the
mean value over the whole of each reference area is required to be equal to or greater than the local
thickness given in the table. The mean coating thickness for all reference areas shall be calculated in a similar
way for the magnetic test as for the gravimetric test (see ISO 1460).
Thickness measurements shall not be taken on cut surfaces or areas less than 10 mm from edges, flame-cut
[8]
surfaces or corners (see ISO 14713-2 ).

ISO/DIS 1461
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 1461 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings,
Subcommittee SC 4, and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 262, Metallic and other inorganic coatings in
collaboration.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (1999). This revision reflects the experience in the
use of ISO 1461 and includes a simplification of procedures and presentation.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 1461

Hot dip galvanized coatings on fabricated iron and steel
articles — Specifications and test methods
1 Scope
This standard specifies the general properties of and methods of test for coatings applied by dipping
fabricated iron and steel articles (including certain castings) in a zinc melt (containing not more than 2% of
other metals). It does not apply to:
a) sheet and wire that are continuously hot dip galvanized
b) tube and pipe that is hot dip galvanized in automatic plants
c) hot dip galvanized products (e.g. fasteners) for which specific standards exist and which may include
additional requirements or requirements which are different from those of this European Standard.
NOTE Individual product standards can incorporate this standard for the coating by quoting its number, or may
incorporate it with modification specific to the product. Different requirements may also be made for galvanized coatings
on products intended to meet specific regulatory requirements.
After-treatment/over-coating of hot dip galvanized articles is not covered by this standard.

4 General requirements
4.1 General
This standard sets out requirements for contents of the zinc melt used to apply the galvanized coating to
articles (see 4.2 below). The chemical composition and the surface condition (finish and roughness) of the
basis metal, the mass of the parts and the galvanizing conditions may affect the appearance, the thickness,
texture and physical / mechanical properties of the coating. This Standard does not define any requirements
regarding these points. Guidance on these parameters can be found in ISO 14713-2 [1].
4.2 Hot dip galvanizing bath
The hot dip galvanizing bath shall primarily contain molten zinc. The total of the other elements (as identified
in ISO 752 or EN 1179, excluding tin and iron) in the molten zinc shall not exceed 1,5 % by mass.
4.3 Information to be supplied by the purchaser
The information listed in Annex A (A.1 and A.2) shall be supplied by the purchaser.
4.4 Safety
Venting and draining shall be provided for in accordance with Annex B.
5 Acceptance inspection and sampling
Acceptance inspection can be undertaken by or on behalf of the purchaser and shall be undertaken before the
products leave the hot dip galvanizers custody, unless otherwise specified at the time of ordering by the
purchaser. Acceptance inspection involves the assessment of appearance of the coated product and testing
the zinc coating thickness. Adhesion tests are normally not carried out and are only tested by agreement.

ISO/DIS 1461
If the customer requires, a control sample for thickness testing shall be taken randomly from each inspection
lot (see 3.13) selected for testing. The minimum number of articles from each inspection lot that forms the
control sample shall be in accordance with Table 1.
Table 1 — Control sample size related to lot size
Number of articles in lot Minimum number of articles in
the control sample
1 to 3 All
4 to 500 3
501 to 1,200 5
1,201 to 3,200 8
3,201 to 10,000 13
> 10,000 20

6 Coating properties
6.1 Appearance
At acceptance inspection, the significant surface(s) of all the hot dip galvanize article(s), when first examined
by normal corrected vision from a distance of not less than 1m, shall be free from nodules, blisters (i.e. raised
areas without solid metal beneath), roughness and sharp points (if either can cause injury) and uncoated
areas.
NOTE 1 The primary purpose of the galvanized coating is to protect the underlying iron or steelwork against corrosion.
Considerations related to aesthetics or decorative features should be secondary. Where these secondary features are
also of importance it is highly recommended that the galvanizer and customer agree the standard of finish that is
achievable on the work [in total or in part], given the range of materials used to form the article. This is of particular
importance where the required standard of finish is beyond that set out in this section. It should be noted that ‘roughness’
and ‘smoothness’ are relative terms and the roughness of coatings on articles galvanized after fabrication differs from
mechanically wiped products, such as galvanized sheet, tube and wire. It is not possible to establish a definition of
appearance and finish covering all requirements in practice.
The occurrence of darker or lighter area (e.g. cellular pattern or dark grey areas) or some surface unevenness
shall not be cause for rejection: the development of (white or dark) corrosion products – primarily basic zinc
oxide – formed during storage in humid conditions after hot dip galvanizing) shall not be cause for rejection,
providing the coating thickness remains above the specified minimum value.
Flux residues shall not be permitted. Lumps and zinc ash shall not be permitted where they may affect the
intended use of the hot dip galvanized article or its corrosion resistance requirement (see ISO 14713-1 for
corrosion protection performance data).
