BS EN ISO 11127-1:2021

Comprehensive Standard for Steel Surface Preparation

BS EN ISO 11127-1:2021 is the essential standard for manufacturers and applicators working with steel substrates and protective coatings. This British Standard, identical to ISO 11127-1:2020, provides detailed guidance on the preparation of steel surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and long-lasting performance of paint, powder, and other protective finishes.

Ensure Consistent Surface Quality

Proper surface preparation is critical for achieving a strong bond between the steel substrate and the applied coating. This standard outlines the key requirements and test methods for:

• Cleanliness of the steel surface
• Surface profile and roughness
• Removal of contaminants such as oil, grease, and rust
• Verification of the prepared surface

By following the guidelines in BS EN ISO 11127-1:2021, manufacturers can ensure a consistent, high-quality surface that maximizes the adhesion and performance of their protective coatings.

Comply with Industry Best Practices

This standard is an essential reference for any company working with steel substrates and protective coatings. It aligns with the latest industry best practices and ensures compliance with the following key requirements:

• Surface Preparation Methods: Detailed specifications for abrasive blast cleaning, hand and power tool cleaning, and other surface preparation techniques.
• Quality Control: Comprehensive test methods for evaluating the cleanliness, profile, and other key characteristics of the prepared surface.
• Reporting and Documentation: Guidelines for maintaining detailed records of the surface preparation process and results.

Achieve Long-Lasting Coating Performance

By adhering to the requirements outlined in BS EN ISO 11127-1:2021, manufacturers can ensure that their protective coatings achieve optimal adhesion and long-term durability on steel substrates. This standard is an essential tool for:

• Automotive and transportation industries
• Architectural and construction applications
• Oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities
• Marine and offshore environments
• Any industry requiring high-performance coatings on steel surfaces

Investing in the latest edition of BS EN ISO 11127-1:2021 ensures that your company is equipped with the most up-to-date guidance and best practices for steel surface preparation, helping you deliver superior coatings that stand the test of time.
