The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies evaluates the degradation of coating systems using the DIN EN ISO 4628 standard. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, coating systems are functionally important because they protect the materials they cover. Their protective qualities help materials withstand harsh conditions, which improves their durability and suitability for specific climates and environments.
What is DIN EN ISO 4628?
DIN EN ISO 4628 consists of numerous internationally accepted standards that assist those evaluating the wear and tear experienced by coatings. The test methods outlined in the standard have been widely adopted because they’re adept at assessing the effects that accelerated aging can have on a coating’s appearance and performance. The DIN EN ISO 4628 standard includes the following parts:
Part One:
General introduction and designation system
Part Two:
Assessing blistering
Part Three:
Assessing rusting
Part Four:
Assessing cracking
Part Five:
Assessing flaking
Part 6:
Assessing chalking via tape method
Part 7:
Assessing chalking via velvet method
Part 8:
Assessing corrosion and delamination near artificial defects and scribes
Part 10:
Assessing filiform corrosion
