1.1 This practice covers and sets forth conditions for five modifications in salt spray (fog) testing for specification purposes. These are in chronological order of their development:
1.1.1 Annex A1, acetic acid-salt spray test, continuous.
1.1.2 Annex A2, cyclic acidified salt spray test.
1.1.3 Annex A3, seawater acidified test, cyclic (SWAAT).
1.1.4 Annex A4, SO2 salt spray test, cyclic.
1.1.5 Annex A5, dilute electrolyte cyclic fog dry test.
1.2 This practice does not prescribe the type of modification, test specimen or exposure periods to be used for a specific product, nor the interpretation to be given to the results.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
