This document specifies the apparatus and test procedure to be used in conducting accelerated corrosion tests for the comparative evaluation of metallic materials with or without permanent corrosion protection or temporary corrosion protection in salt-contaminated outdoor environments. The test involves cyclic exposure of the specimens to neutral salt mist, "dry" and "wet" conditions. The type of test specimen and the exposure period are not specified.

The particular advantages of this test over common accelerated tests such as the neutral salt spray (NSS) test lie in its ability to better reproduce the corrosion that occurs in outdoor salt-contaminated environments.

This document is applicable to

— metals and their alloys,

— metallic coatings (anodic and cathodic),

— conversion coatings,

— anodic oxide coatings, and

— organic coatings on metallic materials.

NOTE Methods of test for coatings to determine their resistance, in the presence of scribe marks through to the substrate, to various cyclic corrosion conditions which include the condensation of water on the test specimens during periods of humidity are given in ISO 11997-1.

This document specifies the chemical composition limits of wrought aluminium and wrought aluminium alloys and form of products. NOTE The chemical composition limits of aluminium and aluminium alloys specified herein are completely identical with those registered with the Aluminium Association, 1525, Wilson Boulevard, Suite 600, Arlington, VA 22209, USA, for the corresponding alloys.

This document specifies the maximum percentage content of alloying elements and impurities present in wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys which are fabricated into materials and articles designed to be in contact with foodstuff. It contains provisions for the demonstration of conformity of products with the present standard. NOTE 1 Materials include semi-finished products. Articles are finished goods.

This document describes a method of determining the hole expansion ratio in metallic sheets and strips with a thickness range of 1,2 mm to 6,0 mm inclusive and a width of at least 90 mm. NOTE This test is normally applicable to sheet metal and is used to assess the suitability of the product for forming flanges.
