This European Standard specifies requirements for coloured or uncoloured anodic oxidation coatings on
wrought and cast products in aluminium and aluminium alloys for use in contact with food.
These requirements cover the chemical composition of the bath, the sealing and the properties of the obtained
anodic oxidation coatings. They do not cover dyestuffs and pigments but do cover the metallic deposits
produced by electrolytic colouring.
