Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems — Assessment of, and Acceptance Criteria for, the Adhesion/ Cohesion (Fracture Strength) of a Coating — Part 2: Cross-cut Testing and X-Cut Testing

2018

Document Number: NL ISO 16276 2 : 2018
Sector: PAINT AND COLOUR INDUSTRIES
TC: NL TC 35
ICS:
This part of ISO 16276 specifies procedures for rating the resistance of coating systems when a cut in the form of a right-angle lattice pattern (cross-cut) or in the form of an X (X-cut) is made into the coating, penetrating through to the substrate. This part of ISO 16276 is only applicable if the cross-cut or X-cut test method is specified, together with the rating from the appropriate rating scale. NOTE The characteristics of the coating can make the assessment of the result of a cross-cut or X-cut test difficult. This part of ISO 16276 also specifies suitable equipment and defines inspection areas, sampling plans and acceptance/rejection criteria. It does not specify ratings for particular coating systems.
