The work of preparing International Standards 's normally carried out through [80 technical committees. Each member body Interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that commitiee. International organizallons, yovern- mantal and non-governmental, In lalson with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotachnical standardization. raft International Standards adopted by the technical committees aro clreulated fo the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter national Stendard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote, International Standard ISO 9227 was prepared by Technical Committee -I8O/TC 156, Corrosion of metats and alloys. It cancels and replaces International Standards 180 9788-1976, 180 9769:1876 and ISO 3770-1976. Annexes A and B of this Inlornalfonal Standard are for Information only. 9 Iso. 000 2) rights roves.

Therefore, the test results should nol be regarded as a direct guide to the corrosion sistance of the tested metallic materials in all environmonts. wher ‘these materials may be used. Also, the performance of different mat Fale during the tost should not be taken es a direct guide to the corro- sion resistance of these materials In service. Nevertheless, the method described gives a means of checking thet the comparative quality of a metallic material, with or without corrosion protection, is maintained,
