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.
