EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC 60068-2-11 test. IEC 60068-2-11 specifies a test method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of electrotechnical product components, equipment and materials in a salt fog environment.

Its purpose is to verify that the comparative quality of a metallic material with or without corrosion protection is maintained when exposed to salt mist.

This test method is useful for assessing the quality and homogeneity of applied coatings to protect metals from corrosion. It is particularly useful for detecting discontinuities such as pores and other defects in certain metallic, organic, anodic oxide and conversion coatings.

This edition includes the following important technical changes from the previous edition:

• The preparation of the salt solution has been modified;
• The temperature of the solution was changed for pH measurement;
• Added atomization pressure and water temperature of saturation tower;
• Test report details changed;
• Typical test apparatus examples are included;
• Added a method for assessing the abrasiveness of the apparatus;
• Added bibliography.
