scope:

This Standard specifies three types of accelerated cyclic corrosion tests ¹⁾ for zinccoated steel sheets and other surface treated steel sheets intended for use in corrosion environment containing salt particles carried afloat from the sea.

Warning Persons carrying out tests based on this Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices.

NOTE The International Standards corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 16151 : 2005 Corrosion of metals and alloys - Accelerated cyclic tests with exposure to acidified salt spray, "dry" and "wet" conditions

ISO 16539 : 2013 Corrosion of metals and alloys - Accelerated cyclic corrosion tests with exposure to synthetic ocean water salt-deposition process - "Dry" and "wet" conditions at constant absolute humidity (Overall evaluation : MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.

Note ¹⁾ Acidified salt spray cyclic test (see 3.3.1), neutral salt spray cyclic test (see 3.3.2), and salt deposition cyclic test (see 3.3.3).
