ISO 19840:2012

Paints and varnishes - Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems - Measurement of, and acceptance criteria for, the dry-film thickness of coating on rough surfaces

ISO 19840:2012 specifies a procedure for the verification of dry-film thickness against nominal dry-film thickness on rough surfaces, including the adjustment of the instruments used, the definition of inspection areas, sampling plans, measurement methods and acceptance/rejection criteria.

The procedure is based on the use of instruments of the permanent magnet, electromagnet and eddy current type. Instrument accuracy is verified both at zero and at a known thickness on a smooth surface and adjusted if necessary.

It does not apply to nominal dry-film thicknesses less than 40 µm.

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.
