Galvanic anodes for cathodic protection in seawater and saline sediments (ISO 9351:2025)

The proposed Standard, based upon a revised and updated EN 12496: 2013 will specify the minimum requirements and give recommendations for the chemical composition, the electrochemical properties, the physical tolerances, and the test and inspection procedures for cast galvanic anodes of aluminium, magnesium and zinc alloys for cathodic protection in sea water and saline mud.
The Standard will be applicable to the majority of galvanic anodes used for seawater and saline mud applications, i.e. cast anodes of trapezoidal, "D", or circular cross section and bracelet type anodes.
The general requirements and recommendations of this proposed Standard may also be applied to other anode shapes, e.g. half-spherical, button, etc., which are sometimes used for seawater applications.
Applications for this Standard are in offshore renewables, flood defences, offshore oil and gas, offshore or submarine pipelines, ports and harbours, ships and all applications in which galvanic anodes are used for cathodic protection in sea water and saline muds.
Work is proposed to be undertaken in parallel between ISO TC 156 WG 10 and CEN TC 219 WG3, under ISO lead in accordance with the Vienna Convention. This scope is agreed in principle by both parties.

Galvanische Anoden für den kathodischen Schutz in Seewasser und salzhaltigen Sedimenten (ISO 9351:2025)

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen fest und gibt Empfehlungen für die chemische Zusammensetzung, elektrochemische Eigenschaften, physikalische Toleranzen, Prüf- und Inspektionsverfahren für galvanische Gussanoden aus auf Aluminium, Magnesium oder Zink basierende Legierungen für den kathodischen Korrosionsschutz in Meerwasser, salzhaltigem Sediment und Brackwasser.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf Anoden in Meerwasser und auf Anoden in Brackwasser und salzhaltigen Sedimenten. Informationen zum Salzgehalt können Anhang A entnommen werden.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf die meisten galvanischen Anoden, die für Meerwasser-, salzhaltige Sediment- und Brackwasseranwendungen verwendet werden, d. h. Gussanoden mit trapez- oder kreisförmigem Querschnitt und Manschettenanoden. Die Anforderungen und Empfehlungen dieses Dokuments können auch auf andere Anodenformen (z. B. halbkugelförmige Anoden, Knopfanoden) angewendet werden, die manchmal für Meerwasseranwendungen verwendet werden.
Obwohl andere Metalle als Werkstoffe von galvanischen Anoden verwendet werden können, um edlere Metalle als Eisen und Stahl zu schützen, z. B. Weicheisen, werden diese in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.

Anodes galvaniques pour la protection cathodique dans l'eau de mer et les boues salines (ISO 9351:2025)

Le présent document définit des exigences et fournit des recommandations pour la composition chimique, les propriétés électrochimiques, les tolérances physiques et les modes opératoires d’essai et d’inspection des anodes galvaniques coulées en alliages à base d’aluminium, de magnésium et de zinc, utilisées pour la protection cathodique dans l’eau de mer, les sédiments salins et les eaux saumâtres.
L’Annexe A fournit des informations sur les plages de salinité.
Les exigences et les recommandations du présent document peuvent s’appliquer à d’autres formes d’anode pour les anodes coulées, par exemple trapézoïdales, circulaires, demi-sphériques, type bracelet.
Bien que d’autres métaux, tels que le fer doux, puissent être utilisés comme matériau d’anode galvanique pour protéger des métaux plus nobles que le fer et l’acier, ces métaux ne sont pas couverts par le présent document.

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.

in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document 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).
