Corrosion of metals and alloys - Corrosivity of atmospheres - Classification, determination and estimation
ISO 9223:2012 establishes a classification system for the corrosivity of atmospheric environments. Itdefines corrosivity categories for the atmospheric environments by the first-year corrosion rate of standard specimens,gives dose-response functions for normative estimation of the corrosivity category based on the calculated first-year corrosion loss of standard metals, andmakes possible an informative estimation of the corrosivity category based on knowledge of the local environmental situation.ISO 9223:2012 specifies the key factors in the atmospheric corrosion of metals and alloys. These are the temperature-humidity complex, pollution by sulfur dioxide and airborne salinity.The temperature-humidity complex can be evaluated in terms of time of wetness. Corrosion effects of other pollutants (ozone, nitrogen oxides, particulates) are not considered decisive in the assessment of corrosivity according to ISO 9223:2012.ISO 9223:2012 does not characterize the corrosivity of specific service atmospheres, e.g. atmospheres in chemical or metallurgical industries.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
