This document specifies the method for depositing cadmium layers according to the vacuum deposition process, for use in aerospace construction.
According to this process, cadmium metal is vaporized under vacuum and deposited directly on the base material with an interlayer. The coating produced in this way is ductile and electrically conductive.
This document is applicable whenever referenced.

It contains the minimum requirements necessary to guarantee and verify the suitability of materials, coatings systems and processes for corrosion control of space rated products.
The Standard classifies the corrosion environments and requires the issuing of a Corrosion Prevention and Control Plan based on the identified environmental classes. Testing and acceptance criteria are specified for each environmental class.
The scope of the document would include all flight parts and components used for space missions including Ground Support Equipment (GSE), where the materials and processes used in interfacing ground support equipment, test equipment, hardware processing equipment, hardware packaging and hardware shipment are to be controlled in order to prevent damage to or contamination of flight hardware.

This Standard details a test in which pressure‐sensitive tapes are used to assess
the suitability of, for example, coatings, paints, films and other thin materials,
proposed for use on spacecraft and associated equipment.
Surface coatings, such as thermal control paints and corrosion protection
coatings, are affected, both on the ground and after launch, by exposure to the
environment.
It is therefore important that the adhesion of the coating to the relevant
substrate remains at an acceptable level after exposure to the relevant
environmental condition.
The following materials and assemblies are covered by this test method:
 organic coating, e.g. varnishes, paints and plastic films;
 metallic finishes on, for example, printed circuit boards, second‐surface
mirrors, thermal radiators, plastic films;
 adhesive layers;
 composite thin films;
 small assemblies, e.g. solar cells having attached glass covers.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constrains of a
space project in conformance with ECSS‐S‐ST‐00.
