DIN EN ISO 1514:2016-12

For many of the test methods most widely used for paints and varnishes, the type of panel used and the particular way in which it is prepared for use can affect the test results to a significant degree. Consequently, it is important to standardize as carefully as possible both the panels and the procedures used to prepare the panels prior to painting. It is not possible to include in an International Standard all the types of panels and preparation needed for paint testing. This International Standard describes preparation procedures that are known to be reproducible and gives additional guidance in instances where there might still be doubt due to lack of international uniformity of the procedure. This International Standard specifies several types of standard panels and describes procedures for their preparation prior to painting. These standard panels are for use in general methods of test for paints, varnishes and related products (see Annex B). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 002-00-07 AA "Allgemeine Prüfverfahren für Beschichtungsstoffe und Beschichtungen" ("General test methods for coating materials and coatings") at DIN Standards Committee Coatings and Coating Materials (NAB).
