BS EN ISO 11474:2014

This standard BS EN ISO 11474:2014 Corrosion of metals and alloys. Corrosion tests in artificial atmosphere. Accelerated outdoor test by intermittent spraying of a salt solution (Scab test) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.060 Corrosion of metals

The purpose of this International Standard is to define a method of assessing the corrosion resistance of metals by an accelerated outdoor corrosion test.

In this International Standard, the term “metal” includes metallic materials with or without corrosion protection.

The accelerated outdoor corrosion test applies to

• organic coatings on metals;

• metallic coatings (anodic and cathodic);

• chemical conversion coatings;

• metals and their alloys.

The method is especially suitable for comparative testing in the optimization of surface treatment systems.
