It seems to be a company created specification based on a industry standard. I would contact the supplier and ask them for clarity or a copy of the special standard..... there is a widely used coating here in the US that applies a 0.2 mil (0.0002 in.) thick coating of zinc and then a yellow chromate coating over the zinc on mild steel parts....The 5 probably stands for 5 microns thick chromate coating...
