5.7 Re-use of the apparatus

If the cabinet has been used once for an AASS test or CASS test, or has been used
for any other purpose with a solution differing from that specified for the NSS test, it
shall not be used for the NSS test.
Where such re-use is unavoidable, the apparatus shall be thoroughly cleaned and
checked using the method described in clause 6.
6 Evaluation of cabinet reproducibility related to corrosivity
6.1 General
To check the reproducibility and repeatability of the test results for one piece of
apparatus, or for similar items of apparatus in different laboratories, it is necessary to
verify the apparatus at regular intervals as described in 6.2 to 6.4.
NOTE : During permanent operation, a reasonable time period between two
checks of the corrosivity of the apparatus is generally considered to be 3
months.
To determine the corrosivity of the tests, reference-metal specimens made of steel
shall be used. As a complement to the reference-metal specimens made of steel, high
purity zinc reference-metal specimens may also be exposed in the tests in order to de
termine the corrosivity against this metal (see Annex B).
6.2 NSS test
6.2.1 Reference specimens

The reference specimens used for evaluation of cabinet reproducibility related to
corrosivity shall be as follows.
a) Use four or six reference specimens, depending on the size of the spray cabinet, that
are of 1 mm ± 0 . 2 mm thickness and 150 mm x 70 mm size, cut from -----------------------
SPCE-grade
cold rolled sheets or strips -��- ��-?-��-�-��-�--�-��--��- g -��-�- with an essentially fault
less surface and a matt finish (arithmetical mean deviation of the profile Ra = 0.8 µm
± 0 . 3 µm).
b) Clean the reference specimens carefully to eliminate all traces of dirt, oil or other
foreign matter that could influence the test results with an organic solvent such as
ethanol by means of a clean soft brush or an ultrasonic bath. Carry out the clean
ing in a vessel full of organic solvent such as ethanol. After cleaning, rinse the
reference specimens with fresh organic solvent such as ethanol, and then dry them.
c) Determine the mass of the reference specimens to ± 1 mg.
d) Protect one face of the reference specimens with a removable coating, for example
an adhesive plastic film. The edges of the reference test specimens may be protected
by the adhesive tape as well.
6.2.2 Arrangement and test of reference specimens

b) The specimens shall be placed in the cabinet so that the surfaces to be tested are
exposed to free circulation of sprayed solution, and so that they are not in the di
rect line of travel of the spray from the mist dispersion tower or atomizer nozzle.
c) The specimens shall be placed so that they do not come into contact with anything
other than test specimens supports.
d) The positions of and intervals between specimens shall be such that no specimen
blocks free circulation of sprayed solution on other test specimens.
e) The sprayed solution on specimens shall not drip on other specimens.
f) For tests with a total duration exceeding 96 h, location permutation of specimens
is permitted. Where this has been performed, it shall be reflected in the test re
port.
If agreed upon between the interested parties, instead of location permutation of
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
specimens, a device which rotates specimens around the mist dispersion tower may
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
be used.
9 Test conditions
The test conditions shall be as follows.
a) Prior to the test, check the test conditions given in table 2 by filling the test speci
men supports in the spray cabinet with dummy specimens made of inert materials
such as plastics or glass.

Annex B (informative)
Evaluation of cabinet reproducibility related to
corrosivity (using zinc reference specimens)
B.1 General
This Annex describes a method for evaluating cabinet reproducibility and repeatabil
ity in the NSS test, AASS test and CASS test, using steel reference specimens as well
as zinc reference specimens.
B.2 Reference specimens

Zinc specimens having dimensions of 100 mm x 50 mm x about 1 mm, with an im
purity level of 0 . 1 % in mass fraction of four or six of such specimens, depending on the
size of the cabinet, shall be used.
Before testing, the reference specimens shall be cleaned carefully with an organic
solvent such as ethanol to remove all evidence of dirt, oil, or other foreign matter liable
to influence the test results.
After drying, the reference specimens shall be weighed to the nearest 1 mg.
Protect one face of the reference specimens with a removable coating, for example
an adhesive plastic film. The edges of the reference test specimens may be protected by
the adhesive tape as well, if required.
B.3 Arrangement and test of the reference specimens

Position four steel reference specimens in four quadrants (if six specimens are avail
able, place them in six different positions including the four quadrants) in the zone of
the spray cabinet where the test specimens are placed, with the unprotected face up
wards and at an angle of 20° ± 5° from the vertical.
The support for the reference specimens shall be made of, or coated with, inert ma
terials such as plastics. The lower edge of the reference specimens shall be level with
the top of the fog collector.

B.4 Determination of mass loss

At the end of the test, immediately take the reference specimens out of the spray
cabinet and remove the protective coating. Remove the corrosion products with --------------- running
water at 40 °C or lower by light brushing or other mechanical or chemical cleaning
-method.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For
- - - - - - - -chemical
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -cleaning
-- of the zinc reference specimens, use a solution of satu-
rated glycine, 250 g ± 5 g of glycine (C 2H5N0 2 ) per litre of deionized or distilled water,
in repetitive immersions of 5 min.
After each stripping, clean the reference specimens with running water at 40 °C or
- - - -
lower, lightly brush, rinse with an organic solvent such as etiiaiiof c)r 8."cefoiie ; and Tfieii
dry.
Weigh the reference specimens to the nearest 1 mg. Divide the determined mass loss
by the area of the exposed surface area of the reference specimen in order to assess the
metal mass loss per square metre (g/m2) of the reference specimen. --------------------------------------
Perform this removal

plot the mass versus the actual cleaning cycle.
From the plot of mass versus number of cleaning cycles, determine the true mass of
the specimen after removal of the corrosion products . Subtract this value from the ini
tial mass of the reference specimen prior to testing, and divide the resulting value by
the area of the exposed surface of the reference specimen to assess the metal mass loss
per square metre (g/m2) of the reference specimen.
NOTE 1 It is recommended to use freshly prepared solution during every proce
dure for removal of corrosion products .
NOTE 2 For efficient dissolution of the corrosion products during the immersion
step, it is important that the solution be stirred continually. An ultra
sonic bath might be preferred in order to increase the rate of dissolution.
B.5 Checking of apparatus operation

This Annex specifies the method for preparation of test panels with organic coating
such as painted coat.
C.2 Preparation and coating of test panels

Each test panel with organic coating such as painted coat shall be prepared in ac
cordance with JIS K 5600-1-4 unless otherwise specified or agreed, and coated by the
specified method with the product or system under test. The back and edges of the panel
shall be coated with the coating system under test. If the coating on the back or edges
of the panel differs from that of the coating product under test, it shall have a corrosion
resistance greater than that of the coating product under test.
C.3 Drying and conditioning

Dry (or stove) and age each coated test panel for the specified time under specified
conditions. Then, unless otherwise specified, condition them at a temperature of 23 ° C
± 2 °C and a relative humidity o f 50 % ± 5 % for at least 16 h, with free circulation o f air
