ISO 1521 Paints and Varnishes - Determination of Water Resistance - Immersion Method Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 1521 testing. This International standard specifies a procedure for the comparative determination of a paint or paint's resistance to immersion in water. The method gives an indication of the results likely to be obtained when dyed products are stored under conditions where prolonged condensation can be produced but not in an extremely corrosive atmosphere.

This International standard is one in a series about testing paints, varnishes and related products. The method outlined is intended to be an indication of the results obtained when items are stored under conditions where contact with condensed water is likely.

Comparative tests carried out by an IS0 task group with the cooperation of five countries showed a good correlation between the results obtained with this method and the results obtained with more complex moisture resistance tests (cycle and non-cycle), so it was recommended to adopt this method.

The specified test method should be supplemented with the following additional information for any particular application. This information should be derived from the national standard or other documentation for the product under test, or be subject to agreement between the parties concerned, where appropriate.
