Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems - Assessment of, and acceptance criteria for, the adhesion/cohesion (fracture strength) of a coating - Part 2: Cross-cut testing and X-cut testing (ISO 16276-2:2025)

This document specifies procedures for assessing the resistance of paint systems when a cut in the form of a right-angle lattice pattern (cross-cut) or in the form of an X (X-cut) is made into the paint, penetrating through to the substrate. This document is only applicable if the cross-cut or X-cut test method is specified, together with the rating from the appropriate rating scale.
This document also specifies suitable equipment and defines inspection areas, sampling plans and acceptance/rejection criteria.
It does not specify ratings for particular coating systems.

Korrosionsschutz von Stahlbauten durch Beschichtungssysteme - Beurteilung der Adhäsion/Kohäsion (Haftfestigkeit) einer Beschichtung und Kriterien für deren Annahme - Teil2: Gitterschnitt- und Kreuzschnittprüfung (ISO 16276-2:2025)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zum Bewerten des Widerstands eines Beschichtungssystems gegen Ablösen fest, wenn ein rechtwinkliges Gitter (Gitterschnitt) in die Beschichtung geschnitten oder die Beschichtung mit einem Kreuzschnitt versehen wird, wobei die Schnitte jeweils bis zum Substrat durchgehen. Dieses Dokument ist nur anwendbar, wenn das Gitter- oder Kreuzschnittprüfverfahren zusammen mit dem Kennwert nach der entsprechenden Bewertungsskala festgelegt ist.
Dieses Dokument legt auch geeignete Ausrüstungen fest und definiert Inspektionsflächen, Messpläne sowie Kriterien für die Annahme/Ablehnung.
Es legt keine Kennwerte für bestimmte Beschichtungssysteme fest.

Protection contre la corrosion des structures en acier par systèmes de peinture - Évaluation et critères d’acceptation de l’adhésion/cohésion (résistance à la rupture) d’un revêtement - Partie 2: Essai de quadrillage et essai à la croix de Saint André (ISO 16276-2:2025)

Le présent document spécifie des modes opératoires permettant d'évaluer la résistance des systèmes de peinture lorsque ces derniers sont soumis à des incisions en quadrillage ou en croix de Saint André atteignant le subjectile. Il n'est applicable que si la méthode d'essai (incisions par quadrillage ou en croix de Saint André) ainsi que le classement des résultats conformément à la classification correspondante sont spécifiés.
Le présent document spécifie également les équipements appropriés, les aires de contrôle, les plans d'échantillonnage et les critères d'acceptation ou de rejet.
Il ne fournit aucun classement des différents systèmes de peinture.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval cr
