This invention relates to a method for electrodeposition of a chromium containing metal coating on an electrically conductive object from a trivalent chromium based electrolyte wherein the object acts as the cathode and wherein at least one hydrogen gas diffusion anode (GDA) is used, at which anode hydrogen gas is oxidised thereby preventing the occurrence of undesirable oxidation reactions which occur at a higher anodic overpotential when using an anode at which water is oxidised to oxygen and to the use thereof.
