Certification of Hot-Dip Galvanizing Companies according to DASt Guideline 022

Trusted Certification for Hot-Dip Galvanizing Companies by IFO – Focus on Safety and Quality

As a recognized testing and inspection body, we conduct certifications in accordance with the DASt Guideline 022. Our inspectors assess over 200 galvanizing companies, both nationally and internationally. Upon successful completion, companies receive a conformity certificate and are legally obliged to mark their products with the Ü symbol.

Certification according to DASt Guideline 022

The DASt Guideline 022 has been specifically developed for the hot-dip galvanizing of load-bearing components that are designed and manufactured in accordance with DIN EN 1993 and DIN EN 1090. It establishes clear specifications and proven procedures to ensure that the structural safety and suitability for use of hot-dip galvanized steel structures are not compromised by cracking during the galvanizing process. The guideline complements other generally recognized standards such as DIN EN ISO 1461 and fulfills all requirements in the field of building regulations.

Significance of the Ü Symbol

The Ü-symbol, also known as the conformity mark, is an official marking symbol required for certain contrsuction products to confirm compliance with relevant legal requirements and standards. It serves as evidence that the marked product conforms to the prescribed safety and quality standards. The Ü symbol is awarded by recognized certification bodies that have reviewed the respective products and manufacturing processes in accordance with legal requirements.

Hot-Dip Galvanizing Companies

Hot-dip galvanizing companies that process load-bearing components in accordance with DIN EN 1993 and DIN EN 1090 must qualify for certification according to DASt 022. Certification allows them to demonstrate their quality standards and commitment to complying with safety requirements. This strengthens customer confidence and provides them with valuable competitive advantages in the industry.

Planners and engineers

The clear guidelines of DASt guideline 022 provide a secure foundation for planners and engineers who design load-bearing components according to DIN EN 1993 and DIN EN 1090. These guidelines ensure that the structural safety and suitability for use of the components remain unimpaired during the galvanizing process. This allows the benefits of hot-dip galvanizing to be realized without compromising on quality.

Manufacturers of Load-Bearing Components

Manufacturers of load-bearing components according to DIN EN 1993 and DIN EN 1090 must ensure that their components are prepared for the galvanizing process and meet the guideline requirements. They are encouraged to request proof of certification according to DASt 022 from hot-dip galvanizing companies in Germany. For international stakeholders and German companies, this ensures that the highest quality standards in galvanizing are guaranteed.

Certification according to DASt 022 requires the fulfillment of specific criteria and the implementation of suitable procedures to ensure safety standards during the hot-dip galvanizing of load-bearing components

Risk Mitigation

DASt guideline 022 establishes clear safety guidelines and procedures to minimize potential risks in the galvanizing process. Our experienced inspectors carefully review in-house production control and the zinc bath to ensure compliance with all requirements and guarantee the quality of your galvanizing work.

Requirements of DASt Guideline 022 Concerning Quality Assurance

DASt guideline 022 sets specific requirements for quality assurance to ensure high-quality and uniform galvanizing of load-bearing components. Here are some key requirements:

1. Bath Composition (Zinc Bath Melt)

The zinc bath must have the correct composition according to applicable standards and specifications. This includes the zinc content, alloying elements, and impurities that must be within acceptable limits.

2. Temperature Control

The temperature of the zinc bath must be maintained within a specified range to ensure optimal galvanizing quality. Regular monitoring and calibration of temperature measuring devices are important.

3. Bath Maintenance and Care

Appropriate measures must be taken to monitor the quality of the zinc bath. This includes regular analysis of the zinc bath composition, checks for impurities, and sampling to assess coating quality.

4. Suitable Bath Equipment

The bath equipment, including containers and zinc immersion basins, should be dimensioned and designed to meet the requirements, enabling efficient and high-quality galvanizing.

It is crucial to carefully consider the precise requirements of DASt guideline 022. Galvanizing companies are encouraged to thoroughly analyze the guideline and ensure compliance with all specific provisions, thus securing a successful certification according to DASt guideline 022.
