EVS-EN ISO 11124-1:2026

WARNING — Equipment, materials and abrasives used for surface preparation can be hazardous. It is important to ensure that adequate instructions are given and that all required precautions are exercised.
This document describes a classification of metallic blast-cleaning abrasives for the preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products.
It specifies the characteristics which are required for the complete designation of such abrasives.
This document applies to abrasives supplied in the "new" or unused condition only. It does not apply to abrasives either during or after use.
NOTE
Although this document has been developed specifically to meet requirements for the preparation of steelwork, the properties specified are generally appropriate when preparing other material surfaces, or components, using blast-cleaning techniques. These techniques are described in ISO 8504-2 [7]
