B SCOPE

This standard applies to painted chassis, engine bay, underbody, components (assemblies) and
service parts, including BIW panels, on all JLR vehicles. It does not apply to visible BIW
components or cosmetic parts where a resistance to continuous exposure to ultra-violet (U/V) light
is required.

C OBJECT

To define the test requirements and the acceptance criteria for painted finishes used on Jaguar
Land Rover underbody components, assemblies and replacement service parts. The requirements
in this document supersede those given in STJLR.51.5249, STJLR.51.5250 and STJLR.51.5251
for Extreme, Severe and Moderate environments respectively, and which are now obsolete.

D REVIEW

This document must be reviewed every three years from the date of the last review or update.

F STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS

Materials suppliers and part producers must conform to the Company's Standard Requirements for
Production Materials (STJLR.51.5226).

G GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1 Typical coating processes may include, but is not limited to:

• Cathodic electrocoat
• Powder coat
• Cathodic electrocoat + powder coat

2 Components which are exposed to service temperatures ≥ 130°C are designated as Type A.
Components exposed to temperatures < 130 °C are designated as Type B.

3 The colour shall be black unless stated otherwise on the engineering drawing.

H CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND USE OF ENGINEERING STANDARD ON ENGINEERING

RELEASE

1 Components shall be specified by reference to this standard followed by the suffix Type A or Type
B which defines the in-service temperature. Any other special requirements such as colour and
gloss (if applicable) shall also be stated.

2 Any deviations from this Engineering Standard shall be recorded in full on the relevant Engineering
Release.

Example of Engineering Standard:

STJLR.51.5254 Type B denotes a painted component that is subject to service temperatures less
than 130 °C.

I SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

The test schedule and acceptance criteria for painted components are detailed in Tables A1, A2
and A3. It is recommended that a minimum of 3 samples are prepared for each individual test
requirement listed in Tables A1, A2 and A3.

J REPORTING

On completion of the test programme, a formal test report must be created to include all relevant
data, including photographic evidence of all test panels. The tested panels must be made available
to Materials Engineering for a review of the report test results. The test report must be distributed to
all interested parties and archived in accordance with current corporate records retentions policy.
