1.1 This standard specifies tests to evaluate the ability of an equipment to operate and resist corrosion when occasionally exposed to a salt-contaminated atmosphere. It is not intended for the testing of equipment which is externally mounted or installed in zones at risk to heavy salt contaminations (for example, under carriage bays and intake ducts ), in aircraft operating in close proximity to the sea and inland areas having a high salinity.
Note —The test requirements for equipment exposed to severe salt contamination conditions, for example, hovercraft, undercarriage bays, etc, shall be covered in a separate standard.
1.2 Two alternative test methods are defined and, although they are basically two different procedures, the two tests may be considered to achieve the same objectives. Both methods are accelerated tests involving a humidity and a self concentration whose combined effect may result in conditions that are more severe than those normally found in service. One or both of these alternative tests may be adopted.
