CEN EN ISO 16701:2008 Corrosion of metals and alloys - Corrosion in artificial atmosphere - Accelerated corrosion test involving exposure under controlled conditions of humidity cycling and intermittent spraying of a salt solution (ISO 16701:2003)
This International Standard defines an accelerated corrosion test method to be used in assessing the
corrosion resistance of metals in environments where there is a significant influence of chloride ions, mainly
as sodium chloride from a marine source or road de-icing salt.
This International Standard specifies the test apparatus and test procedure to be used in conducting the
accelerated corrosion test to simulate, in a very controlled way, atmospheric corrosion conditions.
In this International Standard, the term “metal” includes metallic materials with or without corrosion protection.
The accelerated laboratory corrosion test applies to
? metals and their alloys;
? metallic coatings (anodic and cathodic);
? chemical conversion coatings;
? organic coatings on metals.
The method is especially suitable for comparative testing in the optimization of surface treatment systems.
