NF EN ISO 16701
Corrosion of metals and alloys - Corrosion in artificial atmosphere - Accelerated corrosion test involving exposure under controlled conditions of humidity cycling and intermittent spraying of a salt solution
ISO 16701:2003 defines an accelerated corrosion test method to be used in assessing the corrosion resistance of metals in environments where there is a significant influence of chloride ions, mainly as sodium chloride from a marine source or road de-icing salt.ISO 16701:2003 specifies the test apparatus and test procedure to be used in conducting the accelerated corrosion test to simulate, in a very controlled way, atmospheric corrosion conditions.In this International Standard, the term "metal" includes metallic materials with or without corrosion protection.The accelerated laboratory corrosion test applies to metals and their alloys; metallic coatings (anodic and cathodic); chemical conversion coatings; organic coatings on metals.The method is especially suitable for comparative testing in the optimization of surface treatment systems.

ISO 16701:2003 specifies the test apparatus and test procedure to be used in conducting the accelerated corrosion test to simulate, in a very controlled way, atmospheric corrosion conditions.
In this International Standard, the term "metal" includes metallic materials with or without corrosion protection.
The accelerated laboratory corrosion test applies to
metals and their alloys;
metallic coatings (anodic and cathodic);
chemical conversion coatings;
organic coatings on metals.
The method is especially suitable for comparative testing in the optimization of surface treatment systems.
ISO 16071:2015 specifies the test method, the reagents, and the procedure to be used in an accelerated atmospheric corrosion test constituting a 6 h exposure to a slightly acidified solution of 1 % NaCl twice weekly, followed by a condition of controlled humidity cycling between 95 % RH and 50 % RH at a constant temperature of 35 °C. It does not specify the dimensions of the tests specimens, the exposure period to be used for a particular product, or the interpretation of the results. Such details are provided in the appropriate product specifications. The accelerated laboratory corrosion test applies to metals and their alloys, metallic coatings (anodic or cathodic), chemical conversion coatings, and organic coatings on metallic materials.

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.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
