1.1 This specification covers the requirements and methods of test for lamellar iron oxide pigments, commonly called micaceous iron oxide, used primarily in protective coatings for steel. This standard is related to ISO 10601 and Australian Standard 2855covering both specifications and methods of test. A companion test method for lamellar (thin film) content is included. This specification covers two types of micaceous iron oxide.
1.2 The following hazard caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 9, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
