Fachverband Kathodischer Korrosionsschutz (German Cathodic Corrosion Protection Association)

[edit]

The Fachverband Kathodischer Korrosionsschutz e.V. (fkks) or German Cathodic Corrosion Protection Association is a German Professional Association for Cathodic Protection specialists, founded and registered in 1964. It is based in Esslingen am Neckar in Germany and is a not-for-profit association. The governance of the association is by the General Assembly, the Executive Board and the Management and represents the interests of cathodic protection specialists.[1][2][3]

Through fkks cert gmbh, a 100% subsidiary of the association, accredited certification schemes in the field of cathodic corrosion protection are provided. The portfolio of fkks cert gmbh includes the certification of qualified persons, or experts as well as of specialised companies.[4][5][6][7]

The association is a registered member of other professional bodies such as DVGW (The German Gas and Water Association), EFC (European Federation of Corrosion). Fkks nominates subject matter experts to DIN (German Standards Institute) to participate in European (CEN) and International Standards (ISO).[8][9]

Honours / Kuhn Medal of Honour®

[edit]

Since 1970, the fkks has awarded the Kuhn Medal of Honour®, which it endows to deserving pioneers of cathodic protection for their life's work.[10][11][12]

R. J. Kuhn, helped to bring about the breakthrough of cathodic protection of pipelines around 1928. In 1928. He is is regarded as the founder of the protection potential criterion for CP on buried pipelines, which is still valid today.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

In 1958, he received the Frank Newman Speller Award from the AMPP (formerly NACE, National Association of Corrosion Engineers).[20]
