La presente norma tratta i criteri fondamentali per la progettazione

delle strutture di acciaio da proteggere con la verniciatura allo
scopo di evitare una corrosione prematura e il degrado della
verniciatura stessa o della struttura. Fornisce esempi di
progettazione appropriata e non appropriata, indicando come
possono essere evitati problemi di applicazione, controllo e
manutenzione delle verniciature. Prende in esame anche gli
accorgimenti di progettazione che facilitano la movimentazione e il
trasporto delle strutture di acciaio.
