This Part of BS 3900 forms part of a revision of BS 3900-H1:1980 and has been
prepared under the direction of the Pigments, Paints and Varnishes Standards
Committee. It is identical with ISO 4628-1:1982 Paints and varnishes
Evaluation of degradation of paint coatings Designation of intensity, quantity
and size of common types of defect Part 1: General principles and rating
schemes, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
BS 3900-H1:1980, which was identical with ISO 4628-1:1978, presented in
section 1 the general principles of the system of evaluation adopted in the
standard and, also, detailed in sections 2 and 3 the rating schemes for assessing
respectively the degree of blistering and the degree of rusting. In 1982, however,
ISO 4628-1 was re-published in three separate Parts, Part 1: General principles
and rating schemes, Part 2: Designation of degree of blistering, and
Part 3: Designation of degree of rusting; these three Parts are now implemented
as Parts H1, H2 and H3, respectively, of BS 3900, this Part corresponding to
section 1 of BS 3900-H1:1980.
Thus this standard, together with BS 3900-H2 and BS 3900-H3, which are
published simultaneously, supersedes BS 3900-H1:1980, which is withdrawn.
Terminology and conventions. The text of the international standard has
been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without
deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those
used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following.
The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current
practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker.
Wherever the words International Standard appear, referring to this standard,
they should be read as British Standard; and wherever the words this part of
ISO 4628 and ISO 4628-1 appear, they should be read as this Part of BS 3900
and BS 3900-H1 respectively.

0 Introduction
This International Standard is one of a series of
standards dealing with the sampling and testing of
paints, varnishes and related products.
The other parts of ISO 4628 already published or in
course of preparation are:
Part 2: Designation of degree of blistering;
Part 3: Designation of degree of rusting;
Part 4: Designation of degree of cracking;
Part 5: Designation of degree of flaking;
Part 6: Designation of degree of chalking1).
Parts 2 to 6 provide auxiliary pictorial or other
reference scales for rating particular types of defect.
As far as possible, the scales are based on existing
well-established schemes.
The schemes given in this part of ISO 4628 are
intended to provide a system for describing, in a
standard manner, test areas showing the common
types of defects of coatings, in particular the defects
caused by ageing and weathering.

Rate the intensity or quantity of the observed
defects on the basis of the schemes given in Table 1
or Table 2, depending on the type of phenomenon in
question.
If applicable, also rate the average size of the
individual defects on the basis of the scheme given
in Table 3.
6 Test report
The test report shall contain at least the following
information:
a) the type and identification of the product
tested;
b) a reference to this International Standard
(ISO 4628-1);
c) the type of defect;
d) the intensity of the defect (Table 1) or,
e) the quantity of the defect (Table 2);
f) the rating, if any, of the size of the defect in
parentheses, preceded by the letter S.
Examples: cratering of top coat: 2 (S3)
whitening:
4
rivelling:
3 (S2)
If necessary, the test report may be amplified in
words, for example confined to edges or
blistering of top coat down to the undercoat.
The use of such comments shall, however, be
avoided wherever possible.
g) the date of the examination.
