DIN EN 12496:2014-02

This European standard describes galvanic anodes for application in sea water and saline mud, and gives the minimum requirements and recommendations for the physical tolerances, electrochemical characteristics or properties, test procedures and inspection standards for cast galvanic anodes of aluminium, magnesium and zinc based alloys for cathodic protection, but it does not address quality assurance. This European standard is applicable to the majority of galvanic anodes used for seawater and saline mud applications, i.e. cast anodes of trapezoidal, 'D', or circular cross section and bracelet type anodes.
