Paints and varnishes - Evaluation of properties of coating systems related to the application process - Part 1: Relevant vocabulary and preparation of test panels
In many areas (e.g. automotive/industrial/synthetic coatings) the materials used are adapted to the specific application equipment and technologies of the user. Coating materials are, therefore, to be understood as semi-manufactured products that only receive their final form in combination with specific application methods and processes. This is decisive for quality evaluation of the finished product.The current procedure aims to define standards for evaluation of coatings in research, development and production with regard to their suitability and safety for industrial processes. The procedure is also concerned with fault analysis. As properties of coatin
