Comprehensive Guide to BS EN 1461 Galvanizing Test Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

BS EN 1461 is a European standard that governs the testing of galvanized coatings on steel products. This standard is widely recognized and adopted globally, ensuring consistency and comparability of test results across different regions.

International and National Standards

The BS EN 1461 standard is based on ISO 1461:2013 (Corrosion protection of metals - Zinc and zinc alloys coating by hot-dip process) and EN ISO 10601:2007 (Cathodic disbondment testing). These international standards provide the framework for testing galvanized coatings.

Standard Development Organizations

The development and maintenance of standards like BS EN 1461 involve collaboration between various organizations, including:

  • British Standards Institution (BSI)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • These organizations ensure that standards are up-to-date, relevant, and aligned with industry needs.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The BS EN 1461 standard is mandatory for certain industries, such as construction, transportation, and energy. Compliance with this standard is essential to ensure the safety and durability of galvanized steel products.

    BS EN 1461 testing is necessary to evaluate the quality and performance of galvanized coatings. This test assesses the coatings adhesion, corrosion resistance, and durability.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Testing
