Corrosion Level 1 Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete Courses in accordance with BS EN 15257

This standard EN15257 is aimed at enabling the competence of personnel involved in corrosion prevention techniques, carrying out cathodic protection studies, execution work, inspections and maintenance work to be defined and verified.  The relevant application sectors include underground or immersed metallic structures, marine metallic structures, reinforced concrete structures and the inner surfaces of metallic container structures.

This European Standard defines three competence levels of personnel acting in the field of cathodic protection including survey, design, installation, testing and maintenance.  It specifies a framework of procedures for the training and certification for the personnel to reach and demonstrate the competence levels.  It defines the minimum requirements for certification bodies responsible for this certification.

The procedures for certification of cathodic protection personnel should be in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17024.

Competence levels and certification schemes apply to each of the following application sectors:

• Reinforced concrete structures
• Underground and immersed metallic structures
• Marine metallic structures
• Inner surface of metallic container structures

It is not mandatory for a certification body to establish certification in all application sectors or to all levels of competence.  A certification body may subdivide application sectors and may combine levels of competence.
