Overview
EN 16602-70-31:2014 - "Space product assurance - Application of paints and coatings on space hardware" (CEN) defines a structured approach for producing controlled surface finishes on spacecraft and related equipment by the controlled application of paints and coatings. The standard covers process definition, preparatory conditions, measurement and verification, quality assurance and acceptance criteria, and may be tailored for specific projects in conformance with ECSS‑S‑ST‑00.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Verification programme: Adequacy of a paint process must be demonstrated via a verification programme; project-specific acceptance criteria may be applied.
- Materials compliance: Only materials registered under REACH and documented via Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are permitted.
- Substrate and qualification: Paint–substrate combinations must be qualified on representative test pieces that mirror composition, surface state and geometry.
- Preparatory and environmental controls:
- Clean work area, filtered ventilation and clean handling (powder‑free, lint‑free gloves).
- Recommended ambient conditions: 22 ± 3 °C and 55 ± 10 % RH (unless otherwise qualified). Workpiece temperature must remain above dew point; suspend operations if condensation appears.
- Facilities and equipment: Typical utilities include a spray booth with controlled exhaust, oven for controlled curing, ultrasonic bath and fume cupboard. Spray guns and brushes are specified per application.
- Sampling and tests:
- Adhesion and pull‑off tests (e.g., ECSS‑Q‑ST‑70‑13, ISO 2409).
- Thermo‑optical property measurements (ECSS‑Q‑ST‑70‑09).
- Dry‑film thickness and non‑destructive thickness measurement (ASTM D1005/D1400, ISO 2360).
- Acceptance criteria: Include aspect, thickness, adhesion, thermo‑optical and electrical properties; supplier quality assurance, traceability, calibration and nonconformance control are required.
- Handling, storage and labelling: Limited‑life materials must be labelled with shelf life and dates; packaged parts must be protected against contamination and mechanical damage.
Applications and users
EN 16602-70-31 is intended for organizations involved in spacecraft surface finishing and space product assurance:
