Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4628-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 9,
General test methods for paints and varnishes.
ISO 4628 consists of the following parts, under the general title Paints and varnishes — Evaluation of

Part 7:
Assessment of degree of chalking by velvet method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 4628 describes a method suitable, in particular, for rating the degree of chalking on white or
coloured exterior coatings and coating systems on rough surfaces (i.e. those having a roughness greater than
segment 4 of reference comparator G as described in ISO 8503-1).
The test method specified may also be used for the assessment of the degree of chalking of coatings and
coating systems on smooth surfaces, but the method specified in ISO 4628-6 is preferable for this purpose.
The test method is applicable to coatings and coating systems on mineral substrates, e.g. fibre cement, brick,
concrete and renderings, independent of the structure of the surface. The method can be used quite
Provided by Standard Online AS for Jotun AS 2014-08-20
effectively by experienced operators and is recommended for laboratory use as well as for on-site evaluation.
NOTE 1 When a reference to this test method is included in specifications, the test conditions (i.e. weathering method
and substrate) should be agreed between the interested parties.
NOTE 2 The method described in this part of ISO 4628 is a relative ranking method and is therefore not suitable for
use in agreements between parties. See, however, the Note to Table 1.
ISO 4628-1 defines the system used for designating the quantity and size of defects and the intensity of
changes in appearance of coatings and outlines the general principles of the system. This system is intended
to be used, in particular, for defects caused by ageing and weathering, and for uniform changes such as
colour changes, for example yellowing.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
chalking
appearance of a loosely adherent fine powder on the surface of a film arising from the degradation of one or
more of its constituents
4 Principle
Loosely adherent powder is removed from the coating under test, using a suitable fabric. The degree of
chalking is assessed with reference to a rating scale.
5 Materials
5.1 Fabric, as agreed between the interested parties, to rub against the surface being tested. Black wool
felt, velvet and velveteen have proven particularly effective for light coatings and a white fabric for dark
coatings.
6 Assessment
Carry out the assessment in duplicate, unless otherwise agreed.
Using the index finger, press the fabric against the coating under test with firm pressure. Rotate the fabric
Provided by Standard Online AS for Jotun AS 2014-08-20
once through an angle of 180°. Remove the fabric and assess the degree of chalking under diffuse light by
reference to the rating scheme given in Table 1.
NOTE A mechanical apparatus is preferred if comparative results are to be obtained; the coating may also be wiped
once with the fabric.
Table 1 — Rating scheme for designating the degree of chalking
(derived from ISO 4628-1)
Rating Degree of chalking
0 unchanged, i.e. no perceptible chalking
1 very slight, i.e. just perceptible chalking
2 slight, i.e. clearly perceptible chalking
3 moderate, i.e. very clearly perceptible chalking
4 considerable, i.e. pronounced chalking
5 severe, i.e. intense chalking
NOTE If specified or agreed, a simpler rating system can be used. However, in such cases the
meanings of those ratings in this table which are used shall not be changed, in order to avoid
confusion.
Examples of pictorial standards for assessing the degree of chalking are given in ISO 4628-6:1990, Figure 1.
The amount of powder may vary over a given area. Therefore, the test shall be carried out at an average
location on the coating. On large surfaces, the assessment shall be made at several locations, and the mean
and range reported.
2 © ISO 2003 — All rights reserved
ISO 4628-7:2003(E)
Ratings obtained with coatings exposed to natural weathering shall be treated with caution, as dirt from the
atmosphere deposited on the surface can give abnormally high values of the degree of chalking.
7 Test report
The test report shall contain at least the following information:
a) all details necessary to identify the coating tested;
b) a reference to this part of ISO 4628 (ISO 4628-7:2003);
c) the type of surface examined, its size and, if appropriate, its location;
d) the numerical rating of the degree of chalking in accordance with Clause 6 (mean value, range and number
of assessments);
e) all details necessary to identify the fabric used;
f) whether the result was obtained using the index finger or a particular apparatus (details to be indicated);
g) details of any deviation from the procedure specified;
h) any unusual features (anomalies) observed during the assessment;
i) the date of the examination.
