ISO 27874:2008规定了在金属和非金属基底上用于电气、电子和其他工程应用的电沉积金和金合金涂层的要求。它还规定了测量涂层性能的试验方法。 尽管本国际标准未规定电镀前基材的条件、光洁度或表面粗糙度，但电镀金或金合金涂层的外观和可用性取决于基材的条件。买方必须规定基材的表面光洁度和粗糙度，以符合产品要求。 本国际标准不适用于螺纹制品上的涂层，也不适用于非螺纹材料中薄板或带材上的涂层- 伪造的形式。

ISO 27874:2008 specifies the requirements for electrodeposited gold and gold alloy coatings for electrical, electronic and other engineering applications on metallic and non-metallic substrates. It also specifies test methods for measuring the properties of the coatings. Although this International Standard does not specify the condition, finish or surface roughness of the basis material prior to electroplating, the appearance and serviceability of electroplated gold or gold alloy coatings depends on the condition of the basis material. It is essential that the purchaser specify the surface finish and roughness of the basis material in order to conform to the product requirements. This International Standard does not apply to coatings on threaded articles or to coatings on sheet or strip in non-fabricated form.
