Description / Abstract:

This Standard specifies the salt solutions, the apparatus, and the procedure (including evaluation of cabinet reproducibility related to corrosivity, test specimens, test conditions, and evaluation of test results) to be used in conducting the neutral salt spray test, acetic acid salt spray test and copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray (CASS) tests for assessment of the corrosion resistance of metallic materials, with or without electroplating, or inorganic film or organic coating such as painted coat. 

WARNING Persons carrying out tests based on this Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices. 

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.
