— l'évaluation de la durée de vie résiduelle de systèmes de protection cathodique existants;
— le dimensionnement et la mise en œuvre de systèmes de protection cathodique pour remise à niveau, destinés à améliorer le niveau de protection ou à prolonger la durée de vie de la protection;
— le contrôle et la surveillance des performances de systèmes de protection cathodique mis en place sur des structures existantes; et
— les recommandations relatives à la protection cathodique de structures en béton armé.
Katodna zaščita vetrnih konstrukcij na morju (ISO 24656:2022)
Ta evropski standard bo obravnaval zunanjo in notranjo katodno zaščito konstrukcij vetrnih elektrarn na morju. Uporabljal se bo za konstrukcije in opremo, ki je v stiku z morsko vodo ali morskim dnom. Ta standard obravnava:
• načrtovanje in izvajanje sistemov katodne zaščite za nove konstrukcije;
• ocenjevanje preostale življenjske dobe obstoječih sistemov katodne zaščite;
• načrtovanje in izvajanje rekonstrukcije sistemov katodne zaščite za izboljšanje ravni zaščite ali podaljšanje življenjske dobe zaščite;
• pregled in spremljanje delovanja sistemov katodne zaščite, vgrajenih v obstoječe konstrukcije;
• smernice za katodno zaščito konstrukcij iz armiranega betona.

Introduction
Cathodic protection (CP), possibly together with protective coating, is applied to protect the immersed
external surfaces of offshore wind farm structures and appurtenances from corrosion due to seawater
or seabed environments.
CP, possibly together with protective coating, can be applied to protect the internal flooded and seabed
and sediment exposed surfaces from corrosion.
The general principles of CP in seawater are detailed in ISO 12473, see chapter 2.
CP involves the supply of sufficient direct current to the surfaces of the structure in order to reduce the
steel to electrolyte potential to values where corrosion is considered insignificant or acceptably low.
CP is designed to protect the submerged and buried areas of the structure from corrosion. The parts
that are not permanently immersed will not be permanently protected by the CP system.
This standard introduces guidance for the use of available metocean data to
• assess the CP demand of immersed and frequently wetted areas
• determine seawater flow velocities to assess the CP design parameters
This is in addition to the primary use of the metocean data in structural design.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 24656:2020(E)
Cathodic protection of offshore wind structures
1 Scope
This European Standard will address the external and internal cathodic protection for offshore wind
farm structures. It will be applicable for structures and appurtenances in contact with seawater or
seabed environments. This Standard address:
• Design and implementation of cathodic protection systems for new steel structures,
• Assessment of residual lifetime of existing cathodic protection systems,
• Design and implementation of retrofit cathodic protection systems for improvement of the protection
level or for life extension of the protection,
• Inspection and performance monitoring of cathodic protection systems installed on existing
structures,
• Guidance on cathodic protection of reinforced concrete structures
