It is intended to be an introduction, to provide a link between the theoretical aspects and the practical applications, and to constitute a support to the other European Standards devoted to cathodic protection of steel structures in seawater.<\/p>\n<p>This European Standard specifies the criteria required for cathodic protection. It provides recommendations and information on reference electrodes, design considerations and prevention of the secondary effects of cathodic protection.<\/p>\n<p>The practical applications of cathodic protection in seawater are covered by the following standards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>EN 12495, <i>Cathodic protection for fixed steel offshore structures<\/i>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>EN ISO
