NACE RP0285 (now SP0285) establishes the for using cathodic protection (CP) to control the external corrosion of underground storage tank (UST) systems. It is specifically intended for tanks that are buried, partially buried, or in contact with soil.

: Mild steel tanks (existing bare or coated), new coated steel tanks, metallic piping, and flexible connectors.

The standard previously known as , titled "Corrosion Control of Underground Storage Tank Systems by Cathodic Protection," is the industry-standard guideline for protecting buried metallic structures from external corrosion. Following the merger of NACE International and SSPC to form AMPP (Association for Materials Protection and Performance), this document was updated and is currently designated as NACE SP0285-2021 . Core Purpose and Scope

The standard is a comprehensive guide that addresses the entire lifecycle of a cathodic protection system: Cathodic protection of underground storage tank systems

: This standard does not cover corrosion control through chemical environment modification, internal linings, or non-steel tank materials.

: To prevent environmental leaks and extend the service life of critical infrastructure. Key Components of the Standard
