ISO 4526:2004规定了用于工程目的的黑色金属和有色金属基体的电镀镍和镍合金涂层的要求。 镍为次要成分的二元镍合金不在本国际标准的范围内。 该名称规定了适用于工程应用的镍和镍合金涂层的类型和厚度。

ISO 4526:2004 specifies requirements for electroplated nickel and nickel alloy coatings applied to ferrous and non-ferrous basis metals for engineering purposes. Binary nickel alloys in which nickel is a minor constituent are outside the scope of this International Standard. The designation provides a means of specifying the type and thickness of nickel and nickel alloy coatings appropriate for engineering applications.
