The methods are intended primarily fo test materials and establish compliance with relevant Australian/New Zealand Standards of other specifications, however they are also appropriate for general laboratory use and for investigational purposes. The methods may be used in appropriate specifications in an ‘Australian/New Zealand Standard, Government Paint Committee Specification or other contractually related document To facilitate information retrieval, the methods are grouped as follows: ASINZS series Description of grouping 1580.100 | Test conditions, preparative procedures, film thickness determinations 1580.200 | Liquid products—Determination of physical properties 1580.300 | Liquid products—Determination of composition by physical methods 1580.400 |} Cured coatings—Performance by mechanical testing 1580.450 | Cured coatings—Performance by durability testing 1580500 | General products—Determination of composition by chemical methods 1580.600 | Cured coatings—Determination of visual properties, e.g. colour, gloss, fi Methods that determine a specific property of a material, or the same property for different materials, are differentiated by a further level of decimal number in the method number. In this edition, individual entries have been highlighted to show changes from the previous edition where— (a) Standards have been revised; (b) Standards have been reconfirmed; and (©) _ new Standards have been added to the AS/NZS 1580 series.Accessed by KJV (Kellog Jaint Venture) en 14 Dec 2001 3 ASINZS 1580.0,1996 LIST OF METHODS No. in AS/NZS 1580 | Date Title series 1oL.1 1986 | Air drying
