Metal coating (SR 011)

The scope of the standardization group covers metallic (e.g. Zn, Ni, Cr) and other inorganic coatings (e.g. ceramics and enamels) produced by various methods (e.g. hot dip galvanizing, electrodeposition, thermal spraying).

The standards concern, among other things, coating specifications, testing methods and terminology.

Reinforcing steels (SR 054)

Focus areas of standardization work:

Standardization issues related to the welding of reinforcing steel are also discussed in this standardization group.

The standardization group’s products fall within the scope of the Construction Products Regulation (305/2011/EU).

Corrosion of metals (SR 100)

The scope of the standardization group covers standards for the prevention and testing of corrosion of metals and their alloys.

The standards to be developed concern, among other things:

Pressure equipment materials (SR 107)

The scope of the standardization group includes material standards (including pressure equipment steel plates, tubes, forgings and castings) applied in the manufacture of unfired pressure vessels (EN 13445), metallic industrial piping (EN 13480), water-tube boilers (EN 12952) and shell boilers (EN 12953).

NOTE: Pressure equipment standardization (excluding materials) is monitored in group SR 267 Pressure Equipment.

Aluminium (SR 132)

The scope of the standardization group includes the following types of standards concerning aluminum and aluminum alloys and products made from them:

Copper (SR 133)

The scope of the standardization group includes:

The following types of standards apply to copper and copper alloys and products made from them:

Nickel (SR 155)

The scope of the standardization group includes the following types of standards concerning nickel and nickel alloys and products made from them:

Through the group, it is possible to participate in the standardization of the subject area and in the work of the CEN and ISO committees. For now, the group is in standby mode and will be activated when Finnish participants register.

Sustainable Mining Technology and Critical Minerals (SR 183)

The standardization group includes standards for sustainable mining, sustainable mineral production, critical mineral sampling, critical mineral chemical analysis, and physical testing.

Sustainable mining industry standards are being prepared in the following groups:

Instead, the groups focusing on the standardization of critical minerals are:

Regarding the definition of critical minerals, the group follows the list made by the Commission.

Ceramics and Powder Metallurgy (SR 184)

Nanotechnology (SR 229)

The National Standardization Group participates in European and international standardization of nanotechnology, covering nano-sized substances, materials, processes and applications. The work items of nanotechnology standardization are mainly related to the following entities:

Steels and materials testing (SR 900)

The scope of the standardization group includes the following types of standards concerning steels and steel products and material testing of metallic materials:

NOTE: The standardization of concrete reinforcing and prestressing steels, pressure equipment steels and cast steels is not part of the scope of standardization group SR 900. The following standardization groups are responsible for the standardization of these areas: Concrete steels (SR 054), Pressure equipment materials (SR 107) and Foundry technology (SR 190).
