As of 2008, there are approximately 20,312 NACE members world wide

Non-Profit Organization Volunteer/Member Driven The “Forum” for Corrosion The World’s Largest Corrosion Association

What is NACE

A technical and educational association dedicated exclusively to the prevention and control of corrosion of all materials.

NACE Mission 

To protect people, assets, and the environment      from the effects of corrosion 

GOALS Support the strategies in the Cost of Corrosion

Study To be recognized as the premier coatings

society Develop a growing and vibrant membership by 

    exceeding expectations Dramatically raise the world’s awareness and  

    understanding of the effects of corrosion

Types of NACE Standards

Recommended Practices (NACE-RP) Test Methods (NACE-TM) Materials Requirements (NACE-MR) NACE/SSPC Standards –

collaboration with SSPC (Society of Protective Coating)

NACE Emergency Guideline

Recommended practices include recommended methods of selection, design, installation, maintenance, or operation of material or system where corrosion is a factor.

In addition, some recommended practices focus on details of construction of a corrosion control system; methods of treating the surface of materials to reduce corrosion; requirements for using devices to reduce corrosion; and procedures for increasing the effectiveness, safety, and economic benefits of an installation or system.

Test methods are tests related to corrosion prevention and control. This type of standard can give the method of conducting tests to ascertain the characteristics of a material, design, or operation.

Material requirements state the necessary characteristics of a material where corrosion is a factor in the selection, application, and maintenance of the material.

Alphanumeric indicate the class of standard, the number indicate first year publication and year publication of current version
