This Standard sets out a method for assessing the suitability of inorganic and organic coatings for use in, or to be stored under, conditions of high humidity and subject to temperature fluctuations.

NOTES:

1 The method does not specify the type of test item, the number of cycles or the assessment criteria. Such details are normally specified in the product standard or determined by agreement between contracting parties.

2 Results obtained from the test should not be regarded as having a direct correlation with all environments in which such items may be exposed or with the relative corrosion resistance of different coatings
