1 Scope

This standard specifies an empirical method for assessing the resistance of a coating of paint, varnish or related product to cracking and/or detachment from a metal substrate when subjected to gradual deformation by indentation under standard conditions.

This standard is applicable to single-coat or multi-coat system. For a multi-coat system, each coat may be tested separately or the complete system may be tested.

The method may be carried out as follows:

— either as a “pass/fail” test, by testing to a specified depth of indentation to assess compliance with a particular requirement;

— or by gradually increasing the depth of indentation to determine the minimum depth at which the coating cracks and/or becomes detached from the substrate.
