Comment: To be blunt, this does not read like an encyclopedic article. Neutrality issues are not yet resolved; in addition to that, bolding of sections is unnecessary. ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Advertising/point of view issues have not yet been wholly fixed. Much of the content in this page is not encyclopedic, and unreferenced claims should be removed and condensed. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:57, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Not enough significant, independent coverage. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:09, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I have removed the small copyright violation and requested its revision deletion.You appear to rely on the org's own website a great deal. This does not help with verification of notability.You appear to have written a brochure, rather than an articleIs this translated from, for example.the German language WIkipedia?

Fachverband Kathodischer Korrosionsschutz (German Cathodic Corrosion Protection Association)
[edit]Fkks (German: Fachverband Kathodischer Korrosionsschutz, English: Professional Association for Cathodic Protection) is a German professional association for cathodic protection specialists, founded in 1964 and headquartered in Esslingen, Germany.[1] The organization represents professionals working in corrosion control and cathodic protection, focusing on technical standards development, professional training, and industry representation.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
History
[edit]Fkks was established in 1964[1] during a period of expanding pipeline infrastructure in Germany, when the need for specialized cathodic protection expertise was growing.[9] In 1970, the organization created the Kuhn Medal to recognize significant contributions to the field of cathodic protection The award is named after R. J. Kuhn, who pioneered cathodic protection for pipelines in New Orleans in 1928. The medal has been awarded annually to recognize individuals who have advanced the science and practice of cathodic protection.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
Organization and activities
[edit]Standards development
[edit]The association participates in the development of national, European, and international standards through the German Institute for Standardization (DIN).[19][7] Fkks working groups focus on cathodic protection of buried and immersed structures and electrical interference mitigation on metal structures. The organization has published several technical rules, including:
- Technical Rule: Guidelines for quality monitoring[20][19]
- Technical Rule 221: Measures for managing high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system crossings with buried pipelines[21]
- Technical Rule 231: Guidance for commissioning, operation, and maintenance of cathodic protection systems in reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures[22]
Professional certification
[edit]Since 2008, Fkks has operated professional training and certification programs through its subsidiary, Fkks Cert GmbH. The certification program follows EN ISO 15257:2017 standards and is accredited in Germany.[4][5][6][7][23]
Publications
[edit]Fkks contributes to two industry publications:
Affiliations
[edit]The organization maintains affiliations with several professional bodies, including the DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water), EFC (European Federation of Corrosion), and CEOCOR (European Committee for the Study of Corrosion and Protection of Pipes).[5][6][7][26][27]
