Overview
EN ISO 28722:2011 is an international standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in alignment with ISO 28722:2008. It specifies the strict requirements for vitreous and porcelain enamel coatings applied to steel panels intended for architectural use. This standard covers both heavy-gauge and light-gauge cold-rolled steel panels designed for interior and exterior applications. Emphasis is given to the functional durability, aesthetic qualities, and resistance to graffiti of the enamel coatings.
This standard plays a crucial role in ensuring high-quality enamel coatings that combine protective and decorative functions, making EN ISO 28722:2011 essential for manufacturers, architects, designers, and construction professionals focusing on sustainable and durable architectural steel panel solutions.
Key Topics
Steel Substrate Requirements
EN ISO 28722:2011 mandates the use of cold-rolled steel conforming to EN 10209 standards. Thickness ranges are defined as greater than 0.75 mm for heavy-gauge panels and between 0.30 mm and 0.75 mm for light-gauge panels.Enamel Coating Application
A minimum of two layers of enamel must be applied on the external face and at least one layer on the internal face of the panels. The fired enamel thickness is specified:- Heavy gauge: 180 to 500 µm (external), ≥100 µm (internal)
- Light gauge: 75 to 275 µm (external), ≥60 µm (internal)
These thicknesses can be adjusted for aesthetic requirements subject to mutual agreement.
Functional Performance Tests
- Adherence: Enamel adhesion to steel must meet a minimum Class 3 rating under EN 10209:1996 testing methods.
- Porosity: Strict limits on open pores ensure corrosion resistance, especially critical for exterior applications.
- Abrasion Resistance: Tested per ASTM C 501 with a maximum allowable weight loss of 0.1 g after 1000 Taber revolutions.
- Impact Resistance: Assessed using ISO 4532 pistol tests with no damage exceeding 2 mm diameter after 24 hours.
- Surface Hardness: Minimum Mohs hardness rating of 5 is required for durability.
- Scratch Resistance: Minimum scratch resistance force of 7 N, with allowances for metallic or silk-screen finishes at 4 N.
- Flatness: Heavy-gauge panel faces must maintain flatness within 0.5% convex deflection and 0.25% concave deflection limits.
Aesthetic Characteristics
Standards cover surface appearance, gloss levels (per ISO 2813), and colour stability, contributing to the panels’ architectural appeal.Graffiti Resistance
The enamel coating’s resistance to graffiti is also evaluated, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance for architectural panels exposed to urban environments.
Applications
EN ISO 28722:2011 applies to enamel-coated steel panels used extensively in:
- Architectural Facades: Durable and aesthetically consistent enamel coatings protect building exteriors from environmental wear while offering design freedom.
- Interior Design Elements: Heavy- and light-gauge panels with enamel coatings are ideal for interior wall claddings and decorative surfaces.
- Urban and Public Spaces: Graffiti resistance makes enamel-coated steel panels suitable for areas prone to vandalism, reducing maintenance costs.
- Commercial and Industrial Buildings: Functional and protective coatings enhance panel lifespan against abrasion, impact, and corrosive agents.
- Specialized Construction Projects: Provides guidance for selecting enamel coatings for architectural steel requiring high durability and specific visual qualities.
Related Standards
- EN 10209: Defines technical delivery conditions for cold-rolled low carbon steel flat products suitable for vitreous enameling.
- ISO 105-J03: Covers tests for colour fastness and calculation of colour differences to ensure enamel stability.
- ISO 2178: Specifies magnetic methods for measuring coating thickness - essential for verifying enamel layers.
- ISO 4532: Details the impact resistance test method for vitreous enamel coatings.
- ISO 15695: Provides scratch resistance testing procedures specifically for enamel finishes.
- EN 101: Describes the Mohs scale-based scratch hardness determination relevant to enamel coatings.
- ISO 28706 (Parts 1 & 2): Focus on chemical corrosion resistance of vitreous and porcelain enamels under various conditions.
- EN 14430: Concerns high voltage testing for defects in enamel coatings, ensuring electrical insulation and coating integrity.
Keywords: vitreous enamel, porcelain enamel, enamel coatings, architectural steel panels, enamel-coated steel, cold-rolled steel panels, enamel thickness, enamel adherence, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, graffiti resistance, architectural applications, EN ISO 28722:2011, steel panel coatings standards.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
