TS EN ISO 22553-1

TS EN ISO 22553-1 is a vocabulary standard for electro-deposition coatings. In paint and varnish technology, a terminology document like this helps create a shared technical language across industries, so the same coating process is described consistently in design, production, and quality work.

Technical context of electro-deposition coatings

Electro-deposition coating is based on moving coating material onto a workpiece surface under the influence of an electric field. In practice, it is valued for its ability to cover complex shapes relatively uniformly, its efficient material use, and its controlled film build. It is used in automotive industries and in other general industrial applications such as chiller units, consumer products, radiators, aerospace, and agriculture.

What this standard provides as terminology

• Standardizes the key terms used for electro-deposition coatings.
• Provides common terminology for automotive and other general industrial applications.
• Reduces ambiguity caused by different names being used for the same technical concept.
• Serves as a reference point for engineering, quality, purchasing, and R&D teams working with coating technology.

As a vocabulary standard, this document is centered on terminology rather than on prescribing a test method or a performance requirement. Its value lies in clarifying how the subject is discussed, which is especially useful when coordinating coating specifications across teams, suppliers, and application areas.
