This document specifies a method for determining the film thickness of a coating on concrete substrate by cross-section method. Coatings of various types shall meet the respective technical requirements. Furthermore, physical properties depend strongly on the film thickness. Hence, the knowledge of the film thickness in a coating system is important for the product development as well as for the application and evaluation of claims. Determining the film thickness of systems filled with quartz sand can be particularly difficult. This document describes the method for a measurement of film thickness in cured flooring system build-ups.

This document gives information on the applicability of general test methods for coatings on plastics, plastics composites and similar substrates, hereinafter collectively referred to under the term "plastics". It provides a general introduction to the particularities of coatings on plastics and specifies general terms and definitions.

This document gives an overview on the weathering and radiation testing of coatings on plastics, plastics composites and similar substrates, hereinafter shortly referred to as plastics. Characteristics and differences to metallic substrates of plastics are explained, as well as their effect on the behaviour of the coating during the weathering test.

This document gives an overview on the constant climate and alternating climate tests of coatings on plastics, plastics composites and similar substrates, hereinafter shortly referred to as plastics. Characteristics of plastics and differences to metallic substrates are explained, as well as their effect on the behaviour of the coating during the climate tests.

This document gives an overview on the abrasion and scratch tests of coatings on plastics, plastics composites, and similar substrates, hereinafter collectively referred to under the term plastics. Characteristics and differences to metallic substrates of plastics are explained, as well as their effect on the behaviour of the coating during the abrasion and scratch tests is taken into consideration.

This document gives an overview on chemical tests on the coatings of plastics, plastics composites and similar substrates. Chemical resistance is normally a surface test, nevertheless the substrate has an influence and is also considered.

This document gives an overview on the testing of the stone-chip resistance of coatings on plastics, plastics composites and similar substrates. Stone-chip resistance is usually assessed through surface tests, but nonetheless the substrate has an influence and is considered.

The ability of coatings to withstand wear caused by repeated cleaning operations and to withstand penetration by soiling agents is an important consideration both from a practical point of view and when comparing and rating such coatings. ISO 11998:2006 describes an accelerated method for the determination of wet-scrub resistance. With regard to the cleanability of coatings, only the method itself and not the soiling agents are specified.

This document specifies photometric methods of test for comparing in the visible spectrum a) the tinting strength of two similar coloured pigments dispersed in an alkyd resin without a drier; b) the scattering power of two white pigments of the same type dispersed in an alkyd resin without a drier. This document is not appropriate for the comparison of coloured pigments that on reduction differ greatly in colour.

This document specifies a general method of test for determining the oil absorption value of a sample of pigment or extender. The oil absorption value is usually required to be compared with the value determined at the same time on an agreed sample of the product.
