EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 13523-23 testing. This part of EN 13523 defines the requirements for the procedure for determining the color stability of an organic coating on a metallic substrate when exposed to humid atmospheres containing sulfur dioxide.

EN 13523-23 Coil Coated Metals - Color Stability in Humid Atmospheres Containing Sulfur Dioxide

This method is designed to provide an accelerated test to evaluate the color fastness of roll coated products in atmospheres containing sulfur dioxide (typical industrial atmospheres).

EN 13523-23 is a European standard that specifies a test method for evaluating the color stability of coil-coated metals in humid atmospheres containing sulfur dioxide. Coil coated metals are typically used in building and construction applications such as roofing, wall cladding and sandwich panels.

The test involves exposing coated metal samples to a humid atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide for a specified period of time. The samples are then evaluated for color change using a spectrophotometer or visual assessment method. The degree of color change is reported using various color measurement parameters such as ΔE, ΔL, Δa, and Δb.

The standard provides detailed instructions on how to prepare test specimens, test conditions, and test apparatus. It also specifies requirements for equipment used for testing, such as the sulfur dioxide generator and humidification chamber.

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the color stability of coated metals in a harsh environment that simulates the conditions in which the materials can be used. The results of this test can be used to determine the durability of the coating and to evaluate its suitability for different applications.

EN 13523-23 is part of a set of test methods for evaluating the performance of coil-clad metals. Other parts of the series include tests for adhesion, corrosion resistance, flexibility and hardness. These tests provide a comprehensive assessment of the properties of coil-clad metals and help ensure their quality and durability.
