4.4.2 Specific
requirements
and testing for
corrosion
resistance
Any material that may be affected by corrosion (including but
not limited to steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other
metallic materials) and utilized for the construction of the
swimming pool shall be treated for corrosion resistance, if
applicable, and shall meet any of the following minimum
requirements, as applicable.
The tested metal parts shall be assembled according to the
installation instructions.
The tests are conducted according to EN ISO 9227 on all
metal parts, coated (organic or inorganic coating) or not
coated, contributing to the resistance of the structure's
constitutive elements.
The following are excluded:
- elements having only decorative functions;
- elements embedded and/or fixed in concrete provided that
they are commercial products commonly used in masonry
constructions;
- all non-structural elements;
- hot-galvanized parts with a surface treatment thickness of ≥
50 μm or prescriptions given in EN ISO 1461
In accordance with EN ISO 9227, subject the structure
samples to be tested to salt spray for:
- 192 h for aboveground and recessed swimming pool kits for
the parts above the ground;
- 192 h for inground and/or recessed swimming pool kits for
the parts in the ground and whose parts to be tested are ≥ 3
mm;
- 400 h for inground and/or recessed swimming pool kits for
the parts in the ground and whose parts to be tested are < 3
mm.
On completion of these corrosion tests, all of the products
shall meet the visual requirements described below:
- red oxidation: assess the results obtained on steel parts,
coated or not, referring to the recommendations of EN ISO
4628-3. The number of red rust pits on the surface shall
conform to grade RI 3 or lower;
- white oxidation is accepted on zinc-galvanised,
electrogalvanised or bichromated parts;
- green oxidation is accepted on material including copper;
- brown oxidation is accepted on stainless steel;
- the degree of blistering of organic coatings shall not exceed
density 2, and the size of any blister shall not exceed size 3
as defined in EN ISO 4628-2.
