Specifies requirements for the cathodic protection of buried or submerged metallic pipes and cables. It covers structure design for cathodic protection, coatings, protection criteria, measuring techniques, the design, installation and maintenance of cathodic protection systems, and the control of interference currents. Advice and information on these aspects are contained in appendices.

This Standard specifies requirements for the cathodic protection of buried or submerged metallic pipes and cables.The Standard specifically covers the following subjects which relate to cathodic protection:(a) Pertinent aspects of the design of structures requiring cathodic protection.(b) Coatings for use on submerged and buried structures.(c) Criteria for the cathodic protection of a structure.(d) Measuring techniques and equipment.(e) The design of cathodic protection systems.(f) The installation of cathodic protection systems.(g) The control of interference currents on foreign structures.(h) The cathodic protection of structures subject to stray direct current and telluric effects.(i) The operation and maintenance of cathodic protection systems.(j) Electrical hazards associated with the cathodic protection of buried structures.NOTES:1 Guidance on the general use and design of cathodic protection systems and factors affecting the corrosion of buried metallic structures are given in Appendix A.2 This Standard employs conventional (positive) current flow, for consistency with acceptedpractice, and uses the potential sign conventions specified in AS/NZS 1852 (all parts). In orderto understand the various electrochemical reactions that occur at electrodes during cathodicprotection, it should be recognized that electron flow occurs in the opposite direction to conventional current flow.
