Coil coated metals - Test methods - Part 13: Resistance to accelerated ageing by the use of heat
This Part of EN 13523 describes the procedure for determining the behaviour of an organic coating on a metallic substrate (flat or bent specimens) when submitted to accelerated ageing by heating at a defined temperature for a defined period of time. It is not possible to test heat resistance in such way as to control all possible conditions of use. The aim of this test is therefore to furnish the basic test methods for the effect of heat. NOTE: Special applications may require that properties other than those mentioned in this part of EN 13523 be checked.
Bandbeschichtete Metalle - Prüfverfahren - Teil 13: Beständigkeit gegen beschleunigte Alterung durch Wärmeeinwirkung
Dieser Teil von EN 13523 legt das Verfahren zum Bestimmen des Verhaltens einer organischen Beschichtung auf einem metallischen Substrat fest, wenn sie einer beschleunigten Alterung durch Erwärmen bei einer definierten Temperatur für eine definierte Zeitspanne ausgesetzt wird.
Es ist nicht möglich, die Beständigkeit gegen Wärme so zu prüfen, dass alle möglichen Verwendungsbedingungen erfasst werden. Das Ziel dieser Prüfung ist es deshalb, das Grundprüfverfahren für die Auswirkung von Wärme zu bieten.
Spezielle Anwendungen können verlangen, dass andere Eigenschaften als nach diesem Teil von EN 13523 zu prüfen sind. Die durchzuführende(n) Prüfung(en) sollte (sollten) dann zwischen den Vertragspartnern vereinbart werden.
Tôles prélaquées - Méthodes d'essai - Partie 13: Résistance au vieillissement accéléré par la chaleur
La présente partie de l’EN 13523 décrit le mode opératoire permettant de déterminer le comportement d’un revêtement organique sur un subjectile métallique lorsqu’il est soumis à un vieillissement accéléré par chauffage à une température et pendant une durée définies.
Cette évaluation de la résistance à la chaleur ne permet pas de contrôler toutes les conditions d’utilisation possibles. L’objectif du présent essai est par conséquent de fournir une méthode d’essai de base quant aux effets de la chaleur.
Des applications spécifiques peuvent exiger la vérification de propriétés autres que celles mentionnées dans la présente partie de l’EN 13523. Il convient alors que le ou les essais à effectuer fassent l’objet d’un accord entre les parties concernées.
Prevlečene kovine, ki se navijajo - Preskusne metode - 13. del: Odpornost proti pospešenemu staranju pri povišani temperaturi
Standard EN 13523-13 določa postopek za določanje obnašanja organske prevleke na kovinski podlagi, ko je podvržena pospešenemu staranju s konstantno povišano temperaturo za določen čas. Toplotne odpornosti ni mogoče preskusiti na način, da bi bili zajeti vsi mogoči pogoji uporabe. Zato je cilj tega preskusa pridobiti osnovno preskusno metodo za učinke toplote. Posebne aplikacije lahko zahtevajo preskus lastnosti, razen tistih, ki so navedene v tem delu standarda EN 13523. V tem primeru naj bi se za preskuse, ki jih je treba opraviti, med seboj dogovorili stranki.

Overview
EN 13523-13:2014 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies test methods for evaluating the resistance of organic coatings on coil coated metals to accelerated ageing caused by heat exposure. This standard applies to metallic substrates, both flat and bent specimens, and outlines procedures to assess changes in coating properties when subjected to elevated temperatures over a defined period. It serves as a fundamental method for determining heat resistance, a critical factor in the durability and performance of coil coated metals used in various industrial applications.
Key Topics
- Scope and Purpose
Defines test procedures to simulate accelerated ageing by heating coil coated metal specimens to evaluate organic coating behaviour under thermal stress. - Test Procedures
Includes methods for:- Flat specimens exposed to heat.
- Specimens bent prior to ageing.
- Specimens bent after exposure to heat.
- Test Conditions
Specifies use of air circulation ovens maintaining temperature within ±5% of the set point.
Conditioning under controlled ambient conditions (23 ± 2 °C, 50 ± 5% relative humidity) before and after heat exposure. - Measurement Parameters
- Gloss and colour changes measured according to EN 13523-2 and EN 13523-3.
- Resistance to cracking evaluated post-bending per EN 13523-7.
- Adhesion testing using pressure-sensitive adhesive tape where applicable.
- Specimen Preparation and Sampling
Test and reference specimens must be taken from the same coated coil to ensure accuracy, with adequate sample quantity for all required tests. - Result Expression and Reporting
Results are expressed as differences between test and reference specimens for gloss, colour, cracking resistance, and adhesion loss. Test reports detail product identification, test conditions, bending sequence, results, and anomalies.
Applications
EN 13523-13:2014 is essential for manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and end-users of coil coated metals, providing a standardized approach to:
- Assess thermal ageing behaviour of organic paint systems applied on metals used in construction, automotive, and appliance industries.
- Validate product durability under heat stress conditions encountered during production, storage, transport, or end-use.
- Support product development by comparing performance of different coatings under accelerated heat ageing.
- Ensure compliance with customer and regulatory requirements for long-term coating integrity and appearance.
- Facilitate dispute resolution through precise and reproducible testing conditions and reporting.
Related Standards
EN 13523-13:2014 complements the broader EN 13523 series focused on coil coated metals, including:
- EN 13523-0: General introduction to coil coated metal test methods.
