Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization,
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an lnter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 8565 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 156, Corrosion of metals and alloys.
It cancels and replaces IS0 4542:1981, Metallic and other non-organic
coatings - General rules for stationary outdoor exposure corrosion
tests.

Introduction
Corrosion test ing under atmospheric exposure conditions is carried out
in order to
-
obtain data on the corrosion resistance of metals, alloysI) and other
inorganic metallic coatings 1) in atmospheric environments;
-
evaluate the relationship between the results under given laboratory
conditions and in an atmospheric environment;
-
evaluate the type of corrosion of particular metals.
It involves exposure of the specimens to the action of atmospheric en-
vironments at the test sites and periodic checking of the test specimens.
It does not cover service corrosion testing.
The corrosion rate of the specified metal depends on the environment
of the atmospheric corrosion’ test site. The relationship between cor-
rosion rates for metals and atmospheric variables is complex. Therefore
the results of field tests cannot be used to predict service performance
exactly, but do provide an approximate guidance to service perform-
ance.
