This standard is used to assess the corrosion resistance of organic coatings exposed in high salt environments such as coastal areas or de-icing salt areas. Testing involves exposing the coating to a salt solution to simulate an outdoor corrosion environment. Due to the complexity and variability of external environmental factors, testing needs to be performed in different seasons and over a minimum of two years to obtain representative results. The use of control specimens is key for comparative testing. The standard does not cover specimen preparation and material specific requirements.
