ISO 1456:2009规定了用于铁、钢、锌合金、铜和铜合金以及铝和铝合金的装饰性镍、镍加铬、铜加镍和铜加铬涂层的要求，以提供有吸引力的外观和增强的耐腐蚀性。规定了厚度和类型不同的涂层名称，并给出了选择适用于涂层产品将暴露的使用条件的涂层名称的指南。 ISO 1456:2009未规定涂层工艺前母材所需的表面条件，且不适用于非制造形式的薄板、带材或线材涂层，也不适用于螺纹紧固件或螺旋弹簧。

ISO 1456:2009 specifies requirements for decorative nickel, nickel plus chromium, copper plus nickel and copper plus nickel plus chromium coatings that are applied to iron, steel, zinc alloys, copper and copper alloys, and to aluminium and aluminium alloys, to provide an attractive appearance and enhanced corrosion resistance. Coating designations are specified that differ in thickness and type, and guidance is given on selecting the coating designation appropriate for the service conditions to which the coated product will be exposed. ISO 1456:2009 does not specify the surface condition required by the basis 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.
