Introduction
This document identifies criteria that need to be considered when assessing the suitability of a coating
material for a particular end use and provides a framework for communicating this information between
manufacturer and user. This should assist in the removal of technical barriers to trade. It is in the
responsibility of the manufacturer of a coating material to designate the appropriate categories for end
use and appearance.
The coating materials are assessed independently of the substrate to which the material is intended to be
applied. Properties such as adhesion and texture that are dependent on the substrate have, therefore, not
been included. Nevertheless, it is essential that the coating system adheres properly to its appropriately
prepared substrate. It needs to maintain adhesion under normal conditions during its specified lifetime.
Where applicable, the characteristics of the complete coating system, including combination of materials,
sequence and thickness of layers, method(s) of application, colour and opacity, should preferably be
agreed between supplier, specifier, applicator and customer. Requirements for substrate preparation
should also be specified and observed.
Coating thickness and texture are subject to the manufacturer's recommendations and are affected by
the method of application, the properties of the substrate and the formulation. These factors affect many
important properties of the coating system such as soiling resistance and general appearance.
Care shall be taken to apply the coating materials under suitable temperature and humidity conditions
and to observe recommended drying times and overcoating intervals.
The coating should be recoatable at least by the same coating material. Full information should be
provided in supplier's data sheets.
The classes defined in this document are not intended to represent a quality scale but shall enable a
qualified choice of the suitable coating material for an individual purpose.
