This DBL describes the special requirements, properties and planning data for parts with electrodeposited zinc and zinc alloy coatings and subsequent post treatment. Although the End-of-Life Vehicle Act does not currently apply to heavy-duty trucks or buses, for reasons of variant reduction in new designs, consideration should be given to also specifying Cr(VI)-free
surfaces for commercial vehicle parts. The function properties shall be checked when changing to Cr(VI)-free surfaces. For notes on corrosion resistance and recommendations for various application cases, see Tables 2 to 4.
