ISO 1518-1-2023 is the first part of the standard for the determination of scratch resistance of paints and varnishes and is tested using a constant loading method. The standard is designed to evaluate the resistance of paints, varnishes or other coatings to scratch. The testing process involves the use of a scratch stylus with a specified load to determine whether the coating will be scratched onto the substrate or intermediate coat. This standard can be performed as a pass/fail test or an evaluation test, depending on the desired performance evaluation method. In addition, this standard, together with ISO 1518-2, provides different testing options to suit different actual needs and test conditions. The second edition of ISO 1518-1-2023 cancels and replaces the first edition of 2011, adding terms and definitions, test panel descriptions, and more to improve test accuracy and repeatability.
