ISO 14713-1:2017提供了关于一般设计原则的指南和建议，这些原则适用于需要镀锌以防腐蚀的物品，以及暴露在各种环境中的钢铁物品的锌涂层提供的耐腐蚀性水平。初始保护包括以下方面: -可用的标准流程， -设计考虑，以及 -使用环境。 ISO 14713-1:2017适用于通过以下工艺涂覆的锌涂层: a） 热浸镀锌层（制造后涂敷）； b） 热浸镀锌层（适用于连续板材）； c） 渗锌涂层； d） 热喷涂涂层； e） 机械镀层； f） 电沉积涂层。 这些指南和建议不涉及镀锌钢在役防腐维护。ISO 12944-5和ISO 12944-8中提供了关于该主题的指导。

ISO 14713-1:2017 provides guidelines and recommendations regarding the general principles of design which are appropriate for articles to be zinc coated for corrosion protection and the level of corrosion resistance provided by zinc coatings applied to iron or steel articles, exposed to a variety of environments. Initial protection is covered in relation to - available standard processes, - design considerations, and - environments for use. ISO 14713-1:2017 applies to zinc coatings applied by the following processes: a) hot dip galvanized coatings (applied after fabrication); b) hot dip galvanized coatings (applied onto continuous sheet); c) sherardized coatings; d) thermal sprayed coatings; e) mechanically plated coatings; f) electrodeposited coatings. These guidelines and recommendations do not deal with the maintenance of corrosion protection in service for steel with zinc coatings. Guidance on this subject can be found in ISO 12944？5 and ISO 12944？8.
