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, contact corrosion, bi-metallic corrosion and organic vapour corrosion caused by thermal decomposition, for example thermal
decomposition of polyvinyl chloride at 75 °C.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this British Standard are listed on the inside back cover.
