The requirements are functional and are not intended to address aesthetics. Due to the diversity of corrosive environments that windows and doors are exposed to, this specification does not imply a specific service life. Fasteners are not included in the scope of this specification. 2.0 REFERENCED STANDARDS 2.1 References to the standards listed below shall be to the edition indicated. Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 2.2 ASTM International (ASTM) ASTM B117-11, Standard Practice for Operating Salt Spray (Fog) Apparatus ASTM BS71-97 (2013), Standard Practice for Qualitative Adhesion Testing of Metallic Coatings ASTM D3359-09e2, Standard Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test 3.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.1 ADHESION 3.1.1 Metallic Coatings ‘The adhesion of the coating shall be such that when examined in accordance with any appropriate method described in ASTM BS71, the coating shall not show separation from the steel component at the interface. 3.1.2 Nonmetallic Coatings ‘The adhesion of the coating shall be such that when examined in accordance with Method B of ASTM 13359, the coating shall achieve a rating of 3B or better. 3.2 CORROSION RESISTANCE The test shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM B117. Parts shall withstand exposure for 300 hours without corrosion exceeding one spot visible to the unaided eye per one square inch of significant surface and without any spot larger than 1.6 mm (1/16 in) in diameter. Corrosion is defined as a breakdown of the base material, loss of adhesion of the coating or blistering of the coating. Significant surfaces are defined as surfaces openly visible and exposed once the component is installed (i.¢. rotary operator components when in open or closed positions, bottom face and exposed portions of wheels of sliding door rollers, and all areas excluding mounting faces for friction hinges).
