ASTM Std for electroplated zinc on mild steel traffic sensor enclosures

I need to find the correct ASTM std for Zinc electroplating of a mild steel enclosure. It is a 6x8" round housing for a traffic control sensor that is topped with a glass dome secured with an Aluminum ring and SSteel screws. I also need to now how long it will last under full environmental exposure if possible.

ASTM B633 is the spec you need to get hold of. But that isn't the whole answer because B633 describes a range of coatings for exposure conditions from mild to very severe. You will probably want to spec for severe duty at least; probably very severe.
