Rationale

There is not currently a standard that covers coating steel reinforcing bars with zinc-rich coatings and, specifically, those that provide cathodic protection. This standard would be used to specify these types of products (zinc-rich paints with cathodic protection) to provide corrosion protection on steel reinforcing bars. The users could include bridge owners, transportation agencies, and structural and other specifying engineers. Products that meet this candidate standard specification are and have been applied in various domains (e.g. bridges, large infrastructures) across many areas in the world.
