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.

This International Standard specifies the design, minimum safety requirements and inspection and testing procedures for high-pressure natural gas (HPNG) marine transfer arms intended for FSRU/ FRU/ FSU applications. High-pressure transfer arms are considered to be ship-to-shore systems transferring pressurized gas from floating units to any part of a gas grid. Although the requirements for power/control systems are covered, this International Standard does not include all the details for the design and fabrication of standard parts and fittings associated with transfer arms. This International Standard is supplementary to local or national standards and regulations and is additional to the requirements of ISO 28460. This standard was based on general hydraulic system. Other control system, e.g. using only electrical or other power generation may be acceptable if it has been developed, tested and qualified for related standards and if it ensures all the functions safety and functional performance described in Clause 8 for the hydraulic and electrical control system. This International Standard may also be used for existing facilities.
