scope:

Is one of a series of standards dealing with the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and related products. It specifies a general procedure for determining the resistance of single coatings or multi-coat systems of paints, varnishes or related products to changes in gloss and/or colour, blistering, cracking and/or detachment from the substrate under conditions of moderately elevated temperature. This procedure is applicable to products intended for use on domestic radiators or other articles likely to be subjected to similar temperatures.
