Paints and varnishes - Determination of resistance to humidity - Part 2: Condensation (in-cabinet exposure with heated water reservoir)
This document specifies the general conditions and procedures observed when testing coated test specimens by exposing them to constant condensation-water atmospheres or alternating condensation-water atmospheres, in a cabinet with a heated water reservoir. These conditions and procedures ensure that the results of tests carried out in different laboratories are reproducible.This document does not cover the shape and preparation of the test specimens, the duration of the test and the assessment of the test results.

Deals with the testing of paints, varnishes and related products. Specifies a test method for determining under standard conditions the resistance of a single coat or a multi-coat system of paint or related material in intermittent water condensation.
ISO 6270-2:2017 specifies the general conditions and procedures which need to be observed when testing coated test specimens in constant condensation-water atmospheres or in alternating condensation-water atmospheres, in order to ensure that the results of tests carried out in different laboratories are reproducible. NOTE The shape and preparation of the test specimens, the duration of the test and the assessment of the test results are not covered in this document.
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.
