Paints and varnishes - Evaluation of sag resistance

ISO 16862:2003 describes test methods for evaluating the sag resistance (resistance to sagging) of paints, varnishes and similar coating materials (coatings) when applied to a substrate and held in a vertical position.

Evaluation of the sag resistance can be carried out after the coating has been applied as follows:

1. using a sag index applicator on a horizontally placed test panel which is afterwards put into a vertical position or
2. using a spray gun for application on a substrate in a vertical position.

This International Standard is applicable to liquid coatings only.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
