Overview

EN 13523-16:2004 is a European standard developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization) that specifies the test method for determining the resistance to abrasion of organic coatings on metallic substrates. This standard focuses on coil coated metals, assessing their durability and wear properties through a controlled abrasion testing procedure. It is essential for evaluating the performance and lifespan of protective and decorative coatings applied to metals, especially in architectural and industrial applications.

This standard forms part 16 of the EN 13523 series on coil coated metals and helps manufacturers and quality control laboratories ensure that their coated metal products meet rigorous abrasion resistance requirements.

Key Topics

  • Scope
    The standard defines a method to measure how well an organic coating on a metal base can withstand abrasion and wear.

  • Test Principle
    A coated metal panel is mounted on a rotating disc. Two abrasive wheels, rotating in opposite directions and positioned symmetrically, abrade the surface under a defined load. Abrasion debris is removed by suction for accurate results.

  • Test Equipment

    • Taber abraser or equivalent apparatus (as per ISO 7784-2)
    • Analytical balance with 0.1 mg accuracy
    • Suction device to clear abrasion residues

  • Test Procedure

    • Cut test panels of approximately 100 mm x 100 mm.
    • Condition panels at ambient or controlled conditions (23 ± 2 °C and 50 ± 5% RH as per EN 23270).
    • Measure initial mass, then subject to abrasion under specific loads (typically 500 g or 1000 g) and fixed rotational speed (usually 60 rpm).
    • Abrade panels for a set number of revolutions or until substrate exposure, then reweigh to calculate mass loss.
    • Repeat for multiple samples for reliability.

  • Evaluation and Reporting

    • Results expressed as mean mass loss after specific revolutions or the number of revolutions until coating failure (substrate exposure).
    • Comprehensive test reports include details of product, test conditions, apparatus loads, wheel types, and results.

  • Normative References
    References important related standards including EN 13523-0 (general test methods), EN 23270 (conditioning), and ISO 7784-2 (abrasion test method).

Applications

  • Quality Control for Coil Coated Metals
    Manufacturers use EN 13523-16 to verify the durability and abrasion resistance of organic coatings applied to metal coils, ensuring consistency and compliance with product specifications.

  • Material Selection in Construction and Architecture
    Helps architects and engineers select long-lasting coil coated metal panels for building facades, roofing, and interior applications by validating abrasion resistance under real-world conditions.

  • Performance Benchmarking
    Enables product comparison across suppliers by applying a standardized wear measurement protocol, improving transparency and purchasing decisions.

  • Failure Analysis and R&D
    Assists research and development teams to improve coating formulations and processing based on abrasion resistance test results.
