BS EN 13144:2018 - TC

This standard BS EN 13144:2018 - TC Tracked Changes. Metallic and other inorganic coatings. Method for quantitative measurement of adhesion by tensile test is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.220.40 Metallic coatings
• 25.220.99 Other treatments and coatings

This document specifies a quantitative method for the measurement of adhesive strength of metallic and other inorganic coatings applied to metallic, polymer and glass substrates. Typical coatings for which this document applies are metallic coatings such as aluminium, copper, nickel, nickel plus chromium, silver, tin, tin-nickel alloys, zinc, gold as well as other inorganic coatings such as oxides or nitrides, e.g. of aluminium, indium and indium-tin, silicon, niobium, titanium, tungsten, zirconium and others. This document does not apply to certain hot dip, spray and mechanical coatings, for which other standards may apply, e.g. EN ISO 14916 or EN ISO 4624. The measurement is valid if the cohesion and adhesion properties of the adhesive are higher than those of the coating subjected to test.
