This British Standard gives guidance to those engaged in design, production, quality assurance and packaging on:
a) the tendency of some organic materials to emit corrosive or potentially corrosive vapours ;
b) the liability of certain metals to be corroded by these vapours;
c) the measures which can be taken to reduce or eliminate the corrosion.
This British Standard relates to the general surface corrosion of parts in use as well as in store. It does not cover the more complex corrosion reactions such as stress corrosion, bi-metallic corrosion and organic vapour corrosion caused by thermal decomposition, for example thermal decomposition of polyvinyl chloride at 75℃
