they comply with one or more principles.
Principle 7: Preserving or restoring passivity
Creating chemical conditions in which the surface of the reinforcement is maintained in or is returned
to a passive condition.
Creating conditions in which potentially cathodic areas of reinforcement are unable to drive an
anodic reaction.
Method 9.1: Limiting oxygen content (at the cathode) by saturation or surface coating.
