scope:

Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 

Purpose. This standard describes an accelerated corrosion test. This test is designed for corrosion replication where galvanic corrosion mechanisms are present. 

Foreword. This is a cyclic environmental test which exposes test items to periodic wetting with a salt/mud solution followed by drying all at an elevated temperature. 

Applicability. This procedure is applicable to passenger car and truck components or assemblies. This test has shown good test-to-field correlation of accelerated galvanic corrosion.
