SCOPE This standard specifies the general test methods (*1) for coating film performance. Note (*1) The test methods shall not apply to automobile bodies. Remarks: The units and numerical values in this standard are specified values in accordance with the International System of Units (SI), and those in { } are specified values based on customary units. 2. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF TESTS 2.1 Test Environment All tests shall be conducted at 2345 °C, between 40 to 80 % rela:ive humidity, away from direct sunlight, in the absence of any substances that may negatively affect the test, such as, gas, vapor or dust, and in a draught free area. 2.2 Materials, Equipment, and Reagents for Tests Test materials, equipment, and reagents not specified in this standard shall conform to JIS K '3600-1-1 [Testing methods for paints - Part 1: General rule - Section 1: General test methods (Conditions and methods)]. 2.3 Preparation of Test Pieces arid Test Panels Test panels shall be prepared as materials and sizes specified in Sections 2.3.1 to 2.3.7 listed below. The methods of pretreatment, painting, and drying shall be agreed upon among the parties concemed. The materials and sizes of test panels shall conform to those of each test. 2.3.1 Mild steel panel ‘The material of test panels shall be SPCC (*2) in a standard size conforming to Table 1 and Fig. 1, and the all edges of the panels and the ends and edges of holes for hanging etc. shall be filed smooth. In addition, when the test is conducted in a test room, the panel shall be degreased using isopropyl alcohol (*3) and checked its cleanliness according to Section 2.3.8. ‘When the test is conducted on a mass-production line, it shall be done under the specified line conditions, and the details shall be agreed upon among the parties concerned.1D 6501-08 [2006/06/05 10:55:46 Nobue Masubuchi/HGT/COP/HONDA] Notes: (#2) SPCC shall conform to JIS G 3141 (Cold-reduced carbon steel sheets and strip). (3) Isopropyl alcohol shall conform to JIS K 8839 (2-Propanol).
