The European General Galvanizers Association (EGGA) is the federation of the national galvanizers associations within Europe. The industry comprises about 700 general galvanizing plants (mostly SMEs) employing an estimated 40,000 people in Europe. EGGA monitors and responds to issues affecting the general galvanizing industry in Europe, in particular environmental, technical and regulatory matters.
The general (batch) galvanizing industry provides the most effective long-term corrosion protection for steel products, through the application of a metallurgically-bonded coating of zinc metal. It is a service that is applied after manufacture of the product and normally on a sub-contract basis.
EGGA objects to the technical contract conditions notified by Notification Number 2024/0468/DE because these conditions contain requirements that are incompatible with the principles of free movement of goods within the European Union. These objections are summarised as:
- Application of requirements that are inconsistent with the requirements of EN ISO 1461: 2022 that sets requirements for application of batch hot dip galvanized coatings within the framework of the extended Factory Production Control systems of steelwork fabricators/manufacturers that are CE-Marking their products to EN 1090-1
- Inclusion of specific requirements for personnel to apply repair materials according to qualifications and competencies that are incompatible with the normal qualifications and competencies of factory personnel in the batch hot dip galvanizing industry.
Details of these objections are given in the attached paper.
