ISO 1458:2002

ISO 1458 specifies requirements for nickel electrodeposited coatings that are applied to iron and steel, to zinc alloys, to copper or copper alloys, and to aluminium and aluminium alloys to provide an attractive appearance and corrosion resistance. In addition, it specifies requirements for copper plus nickel coatings applied to iron and steel, and to zinc alloys. Coating designations that differ in thickness and type are specified and guidance is given in selecting the coating appropriate to the service conditions to which the coated product will be exposed. ISO 1458 does not specify the surface condition required by the base metal prior to the coating process, and is not applicable to coatings on sheet strip or wire in the non-fabricated form nor to threaded fasteners or coil springs.
