ISO 12679:2011包括通过在金属和非金属母材上热喷涂的方式，对金属、金属陶瓷、氧化物陶瓷和塑料涂层进行熟练生产的一般指南。 ISO 12679:2011提供了适当和实用的喷涂设置、无故障制造、监控、质量保证以及对组件和随附试样进行无损和破坏性试验的建议。它描述了可能发生的负面影响的细节。它还就如何防止此类影响提供了建议。 ISO 12679的主题不包括允许的涂层负荷和质量评估类别: 2011年，因为它们取决于运行条件。 ISO 12679:2011可用于合同目的。

ISO 12679:2011 includes general guidelines for the workmanlike production of metallic, metal-ceramic, oxide-ceramic and plastic coatings, by means of thermal spraying on metallic and non-metallic parent materials. ISO 12679:2011 provides recommendations for an appropriate and practical spray set-up, faultless manufacturing, monitoring, quality assurance and for non-destructive and destructive tests on the component and accompanying specimen. It describes details about negative effects which can occur. It also gives advice on how to prevent such effects. Permissible coating loads and evaluation categories for quality are not the subject of ISO 12679:2011, as they are dependent on the operating conditions. ISO 12679:2011 can be used for contract purposes.
