ISO 15589-1:2015规定了石油、石化和天然气行业ISO 13623或EN 14161中定义的陆上管道阴极保护系统的安装前调查、设计、材料、设备、安装、调试、操作、检查和维护要求，并给出了建议，欧洲供气行业使用的EN 1594或EN 12007？1和EN 12007？3。 ISO 15589本部分的所有内容均适用于其他工业中使用的陆上管道和管道系统，以及输送其他介质，如工业气体、水或泥浆。 ISO 15589-1:2015适用于埋地管道、受岸上阴极保护装置保护的海上管道段的登陆，以及河流或湖泊交叉口等陆上管道的浸没段。 ISO 15589-1:2015规定了碳钢、不锈钢、铸铁、镀锌钢或铜管道的要求。如果使用其他管道材料，则应由管道运营商负责定义适用标准。 ISO 15589-1:2015不适用于采用EN 12696的钢筋混凝土制成的管道。 注:有时存在阴极保护无效或仅部分有效的特殊情况。此类条件可能包括屏蔽（例如剥离涂层、隔热涂层、岩石土壤等）和电解液中的异常污染物。

ISO 15589-1:2015 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the pre-installation surveys, design, materials, equipment, installation, commissioning, operation, inspection, and maintenance of cathodic protection systems for on-land pipelines, as defined in ISO 13623 or EN 14161 for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries, and in EN 1594 or EN 12007？1 and EN 12007？3 used by gas supply industries in Europe. All contents of this part of ISO 15589 are applicable to on-land pipelines and piping systems used in other industries and transporting other media such as industrial gases, waters, or slurries. ISO 15589-1:2015 applies to buried pipelines, landfalls of offshore pipeline sections protected by on-shore based cathodic protection installations, and to immersed sections of on-land pipelines such as river or lake crossings. ISO 15589-1:2015 specifies requirements for pipelines of carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, galvanized steel, or copper. If other pipeline materials are used, the criteria to apply are defined under the responsibility of the pipeline operator. ISO 15589-1:2015 does not apply to pipelines made of reinforced concrete for which EN 12696 can be applied. NOTE Special conditions sometimes exist where cathodic protection is ineffective or only partially effective. Such conditions can include shielding (e.g. disbonded coatings, thermal-insulating coatings, rocky soil, etc.) and unusual contaminants in the electrolyte.
