TYPE APPROVAL
a.
Before a manufacturer may supply this type of material his product is to be

accepted by the Approving Authority as complying with all the requirements of
this NES. The Approving Authority for this material is the Procurement
Executive, Ministry of Defence, CNA, Section NA 131.
b.
To obtain type approval the manufacturer must comply with Clauses 1.c., 1.d.,
1.e., 1.f.
c.
Provide test data of the materials performance in accordance with Section 3.
d.
Provide samples of the material so that the type approval tests may be
undertaken on test samples prepared using normal trade methods.
e.
Before a manufacturer is accepted as a supplier of material to this NES he is to

supply to the Approving Authority or to the Ministrys adviser on occupational
hygiene, full particulars of the chemical constituents of the finished material
together with any other information necessary to enable an assessment of the
occupational hazard to be made. For fibrous components, information on the
fibre characteristics is also to be supplied. When the material is intended for use
in HM Submarines additional information will be sought to enable
consideration to be given to any harmful effect the material may have on the
closed environment of the submarine. Any such information will be treated
strictly in confidence.
f.
Recommendations for the safe handling of the material are to be provided.
g.
In selecting materials or substances to meet this NES, the manufacturer is to

take into account their relative toxicity or health hazard. Preference will be
given by CNA to those materials which, while meeting the technical
requirements of this NES, create the least hazard in their storage, handling,
application, removal and disposal.
h.
If any change is made in the formulation of the material after initial acceptance,
full particulars of the changes are to be supplied to the Approving Authority so
that acceptability of the material can be reconsidered.

TESTING
a.
3.1

3.2
When a sample is tested against the effects of steam, in accordance with Annex
E., there is to be no evidence of detachment or permanent softening of the film.
Leachable Chloride Content

3.9
After seven days there is to be no penetration of water, diesel oil or lubricating

oil, when samples are tested in accordance with Annex D.
Steam Test

3.8
When visually examined, the 3-coat section of a glass cloth specimen, prepared
in accordance with Annex C., is to be free of any pinholes.
Water and Oil Penetration

a.
3.7
The water vapour permeance of the coating is to be determined by the method

a.
3.6
The viscosity of the coating is to be such that it can be applied by brush. The
viscosity is to be determined by a test method acceptable to the Approving
Authority, and is to be declared for Type Approval. The viscosity recorded at
subsequent production tests is not to vary by more than 12.5% from the value
recorded at Type Approval.
Water Vapour Permeance

a.

Approving Authority. A specific gravity of between 1.25 and 1.40, at a
temperature of 25 C, is required.
Viscosity
a.
3.4
The solids content expressed as a percentage by weight is to be determined by

a test method acceptable to the Approving Authority. A solids content greater
than 50% is required.
Specific Gravity
a.
3.3
The tests detailed in Clauses 3.1 to 3.3 are to be carried out once for each
production batch. For Type Approval the test in Clauses 3.1 to 3.12 are to be
undertaken. When a manufacturer submits test data for Type Approval, the
methods of test used for determining solids content, specific gravity and
viscosity are to be stated.
The leachable chloride content of the cured coating (3-coat system) is not to
exceed 50ppm when established by potentiometric titration or mercuric nitrate
volumetric analysis, from a sample prepared in boiling water.
Surface Spread of Flame

a.
The surface spread of flame is to be determined by the method in BS 476 Part

7. Specimens, prepared in accordance with Annex F., are to achieve a Class 1
rating.
3.1
NES 805
Part 1
3.10
Smoke Index
a.
3.11
Toxicity Index
a.
3.12
The oxygen index of a glass cloth specimen (3-coat sample), prepared in

accordance with Annex C., is to be determined by the test method in NES 714.
The level of acceptance is an index greater than 35.
Test Certificates
a.
3.14
The toxicity index of a glass cloth specimen (3-coat sample), prepared in

The level of acceptance is an index less than 4 per 100g of cured coating.
Oxygen Index
a.
3.13
The smoke index of a glass cloth specimen (3-coat sample), prepared in

The level of acceptance is to be an index less than 50 for a coating 0.75mm thick.
Test certificates giving the results of the tests required in Clauses 3.1 to 3.3 are
to be retained for inspection by the Quality Assurance Representative named
in the contract.
Rejection
a.
Should the samples selected fail to meet any of the requirements given in
Clauses 3.1 to 3.3 two further samples will be allowed. If either of these samples
fails to meet the test requirements the facts are to be reported to the Approving
Authority.

4.2
The material is to be packaged to normal trade standard in 5 litre containers.
Identification
a.
Each container is to bear a label giving the following information:

(1)
Description of contents;
(2)
Volume of contents;
(3)
Contract or order number and date;
(4)

Three pieces (A, B and C), 100mm 100mm, are to be cut from the 3-coat section of
the glass cloth test specimen, see Annex C.; each piece is to be formed into a shallow
cone and placed over a suitable beaker. Into the formed depression the following
liquids are to be poured, one for each sample:
Sample A
10ml Distilled water
Sample B
10ml Diesel fuel oil
Sample C
10ml Lubricating oil OEP 69
The samples are to be left for 7 days; the water and diesel specimens are to be at
ambient temperature, the lubricating oil is to be at 60 C. The specimens are to be

EFFECT OF STEAM TEST
E.1
A 75mm 75mm piece cut from the 3-coat section of the glass cloth test specimen
is to be subjected to steam from a 1mm diameter jet situated at a distance of 5mm from
the surface under test. The steam is to be produced at atmospheric pressure. The
specimen is to be positioned vertically, so that the dripping condensate can be
collected. When 50ml of condensate is obtained the test piece is to be removed and
examined whilst still hot for any evidence of detachment or softening of the coating;
when cool the condition of the coating is to be examined again.

Specimens are to be prepared to the dimensions and the number off required for the
British Standard test. Each specimen is to have a substrate of 19mm thick cork slab,
NS Cat No 0414/9241884, attached to an aluminium backing plate with an epoxy
adhesive. The sealer is to be applied in the following manner to the cork face of the
specimen: brush apply a first coat of barrier coating (grey) and, whilst still wet, embed
a cotton calico cloth, NS Cat No 0330/1389248, into the coating and smooth to
remove entrapped air; after drying for 24 hours apply a second coat of barrier coating
(white), allow to dry a further 24 hours and apply a third coat (white). The sealer and
cotton calico cloth are to extend over all edges of the cork slab a minimum of 10mm.
