Specifies the requirements for electroplated coatings for nickel and nickel plus chromium on plastics for decorative applications.
Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for electroplated coatings of nickel and nickel plus chromium on plastics for decorative applications. It also specifies requirements for coatings of nickel-iron alloys containing a maximum iron content of 25 percent, and coatings incorporating a copper undercoat. It does not preclude the use of gold, copper, brass or other metals plated over nickel.
Supplementary information to be supplied with the enquiry or order is specified in Appendix A.
NOTES:
1 Not all plastics may be successfully electroplated so it is recommend that the suppliers should be consulted.
2 Plastic items to be coated should have low residual stress. To achieve this condition, plastic mouldings, extrusions etc, may require to be stress-relieved or annealed prior to electroplating.
3 Guidance on the means of demonstrating compliance with the Standard is given in Appendix B.
