The present invention relates to a plating bath of the hydrazine type for electroless plating on the surface of a plated substance with iridium. The first plating bath is an electroless plating bath of iridium which contains a hydrazine complex of iridium and has pH of 1-7. The second plating bath is an electroless plating bath of iridium which contains hydrazine hydrate and/or hydrazinium salt, and iridium halide and/or halogenoiridate in the molar ratio of 1-1.0 and has pH of lower than 3. The plating bath of this invention is used, for example, for producing of a junction of a cation exchange membrane and iridium, which is used for a water electrolytic cell of the macromolecule solid electrolyte type.
