Summarise this standard

This International Standard specifies the apparatus, the reagents and the procedure to be used in conducting the neutral salt spray (NSS), acetic acid salt spray (AASS) and copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray (CASS) tests for assessment of the corrosion resistance of metallic materials, with or without permanent or temporary corrosion protection.

It also describes the method employed to evaluate the corrosivity of the test-cabinet environment.

It does not specify the dimensions or types of test specimens, the exposure period to be used for a particular product, or the interpretation of results. Such details are provided in the appropriate product specifications.

The salt spray tests are particularly useful for detecting discontinuities, such as pores and other defects in certain metallic, organic, anodic oxide and conversion coatings.

The neutral salt spray test (NSS) is the test method in which a neutral 5 % sodium chloride solution is atomized under a controlled environment. It particularly applies to:

metals and their alloys,

metallic coatings (anodic and cathodic),

conversion coatings,

anodic oxide coatings, and

organic coatings on metallic materials.

The acetic acid salt spray (AASS) test is the test method in which an acidified 5 % sodium chloride solution with the addition of glacial acetic acid is atomized under a controlled environment. It is especially useful for testing decorative coatings of copper + nickel + chromium, or nickel + chromium. It has also been found suitable for testing anodic and organic coatings on aluminum.

The copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray test (CASS) is the test method in which an acidified 5 % sodium chloride solution with the addition of copper chloride and glacial acetic acid is atomized under a controlled environment. It is useful for testing decorative coatings of copper + nickel + chromium, or nickel + chromium. It has also been found suitable for testing anodic and organic coatings on aluminum.

The salt spray methods are all suitable for checking that the comparative quality of a metallic material, with or without corrosion protection, is maintained. They are not intended to be used for comparative testing as a means of ranking different materials relative to each other with respect to corrosion resistance or as means of predicting long-term corrosion resistance of the tested material.
