ÖNORM EN 12540

This European Standard specifies requirements for nickel, nickel plus chromium, copper plus nickel and copper plus nickel plus chromium electrodeposited coatings applied to iron and steel, to zinc alloys and to copper and copper alloys to provide an attractive appearance and corrosion resistance. The nickel and copper plus nickel coatings without chromium topcoats that are specified in this European Standard 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. NOTE This European Standard is not intended to be used alone, but is the complement of EN 1403. The purchaser has to specify the electrodeposited coating in accordance with the designation as specified in EN 1403.
