ISO 7599:2018规定了在铝（包括铝基合金）上指定装饰性和保护性阳极氧化涂层的方法。它定义了阳极氧化涂层的特征特性，列出了检查特征特性的试验方法，提供了最低性能要求，并给出了适用于阳极氧化的铝的等级以及预处理的重要性，以确保成品的所需外观或纹理。 它不适用于 a） 阻挡层类型的无孔阳极氧化涂层， b） 铬酸或磷酸阳极氧化产生的阳极氧化涂层， c） 阳极氧化涂层仅用于为后续应用有机涂层或金属电沉积制备基底，以及 d） 主要用于工程目的的硬质阳极氧化涂层，其主要特征是耐磨性和耐磨性（见ISO 10074）。

ISO 7599:2018 specifies a method for specifying decorative and protective anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium (including aluminium-based alloys). It defines the characteristic properties of anodic oxidation coatings, lists methods of test for checking the characteristic properties, provides minimum performance requirements, and gives information on the grades of aluminium suitable for anodizing and the importance of pretreatment to ensure the required appearance or texture of the finished work. It is not applicable to a) non-porous anodic oxidation coatings of the barrier layer type, b) anodic oxidation coatings produced by chromic acid or phosphoric acid anodizing, c) anodic oxidation coatings intended merely to prepare the substrate for subsequent application of organic coatings or for the electrodeposition of metals, and d) hard anodic oxidation coatings used mainly for engineering purposes, for which abrasion and wear resistance are the primary characteristics (see ISO 10074).
