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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6270-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 9,
General test methods for paints and varnishes.
ISO 6270 consists of the following parts, under the general title Paints and varnishes Determination of
resistance to humidity:

Part 1: Continuous condensation

Part 2: Procedure for exposing test specimens in condensation-water atmospheres

Introduction

COPYRIGHT Danish Standards. NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE OR REPRODUCTION. DS/EN ISO 6270-2:2005

ISO 6270 is intended to give consistent conditions and procedures for the conditioning of pre-prepared test
specimens which are to be evaluated for defects which may develop when they are subjected to humid
ambient atmospheres such as constant condensation-water atmospheres or alternating condensation-water
atmospheres.
The tests are designed to clarify the behaviour of the test specimens in humid ambient atmospheres, and to
pinpoint any defects in the protection of the test specimens against corrosion. The testing of coatings in these
atmospheres does not necessarily give lifetime prediction data.
After conditioning, the test specimens are evaluated either in accordance with agreed International Standards,
such as the appropriate part(s) of ISO 4628, Paints and varnishes Evaluation of degradation of coatings
Designation of quantity and size of defects, and of intensity of uniform changes in appearance, or by
procedures agreed between the interested parties.

Part 2:
Procedure for exposing test specimens in condensation-water
atmospheres

Scope

This part of ISO 6270 describes the general conditions and procedures which need to be observed when
testing coated test specimens in constant condensation-water atmospheres or in alternating condensationwater atmospheres, in order to ensure that the results of tests carried out in different laboratories are
reproducible.
NOTE
The shape and preparation of the test specimens, the duration of the test and the assessment of the test
results are not covered in this part of ISO 6270.

Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 3270, Paints and varnishes and their raw materials Temperatures and humidities for conditioning and
testing

Designation

The condensation-water test atmospheres are designated as follows:

Test atmosphere

CH

Condensation atmosphere with constant humidity

AHT

Condensation atmosphere with alternating humidity and air temperature

AT

Condensation atmosphere with alternating air temperature

General

Condensation-water test atmospheres promote the condensation of atmospheric humidity on the surfaces of
test specimens, the temperatures of which are lower than the temperature of the saturated air in the climatic
chamber, due to radiation onto the chamber walls or to the cooling of the test specimen.
The atmospheric temperature in the climatic chamber during the condensation process described in this part
of ISO 6270 is 40 C.
