Paints and varnishes - Determination of resistance to humidity - Continuous condensation
1 Scope
This standard specifies a method for determining the resistance of paint films, paints systems and related products to conditions of continuous condensation in high humidity in accordance with the requirements of coating or product specifications.
The method is applicable to coatings both on porous substrates such as wood, plaster and plasterboard and on non-porous substrates such as metal. It provides an indication of the performance likely to be obtained under severe conditions of exposure where continuous condensation occurs on the surface.
The test method may reveal failures of the coating (including blistering, staining, softening, wrinkling and embrittlement) and deterioration of the substrate.

3 Principle
A coated test panel is exposed to continuous condensation and the effects of the exposure are evaluated by criteria agreed in advance between the interested parties, these criteria usually being of a subjective nature.
