What is ISO 14922 about?
ISO 14922 specifies quality requirements for manufacturers of thermal sprayed coatings to ensure quality assurance for activities in the field of production and also defines the quality requirements that are of importance for the manufacturing route.
ISO 14922 applicable to thermal spraying including all the pre- and post-treatments of the whole coating process for new parts, for repairs and maintenance at the workshop or on site.
Note: It is independent of the availability of a quality management system, e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 41001, which concern the concept and organization of the quality management.
Who is ISO 14922 for?
ISO 14922 on thermal spraying is useful for the following industries:
- Manufacturers of thermal sprayed coatings
- Aerospace Industry
- Manufacturers stationary gas turbine
- Automotive Industry
- Machinery construction,
- Printing and chemical
- Oil extraction and refining fluid control industries,
- Steel construction in the field of off-shore and on-shore
Why should you use ISO 14922?
Metals and surfaces that are exposed to temperature, chemicals or pressure come with a disadvantage of getting damaged with time. Using thermal spraying can prevent this damage. ISO 14922 provides quality assurance of the entire thermal spraying process for different applications.
ISO 14922 improves quality for thermal spraying processes which are widely applied for producing industrial products for preventive protection of surfaces from corrosion, erosion.
ISO 14922 is used to manufacture quality thermal sprayed coatings that protect against high temperatures and chemical attacks, as well as for aesthetic and electrical purposes.
Standardized processes of spraying help bring uniformity in all metals and surfaces, thus opening up a bigger market.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 14922:2021 supersedes BS EN ISO 14922‑4:1999, BS EN ISO 14922‑3:1999, BS EN ISO 14922‑2:1999 and BS EN ISO 14922‑1:1999, which are withdrawn.
The main technical changes compared with the previous editions are as follows:
- The four parts have been consolidated into one document
- The requirements for the manufacturer now correspond to those of the parts
- The weighting of requirements with +++ / ++ / + have been updated and are now requirements
- The requirements have been separated and the dependence on ISO 9001 has been removed
- Decision on QAL C, S, E by customer or manufacturer itself
