Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 16539:2013(E)
Introduction
Corrosion of metallic materials, with or without corrosion protection, is influenced by many
environmental factors, the importance of which can vary with the type of metallic materials and with
the type of environment. It is impossible, therefore, to design accelerated laboratory corrosion tests in
such a way that all environmental factors influencing resistance to corrosion are taken into account.
Laboratory tests are, therefore, designed to simulate the effects of most important factors, which
enhance the corrosion of metallic materials.
The accelerated corrosion tests described in this International Standard are designed to simulate and
enhance the environmental influence on a metallic material of exposure to outdoor climates, where
exposure to salt-contaminated conditions occurs and can promote corrosion. It has been prepared by
reference to technical papers and reports (see the Bibliography).
The particular advantages of two tests described in this International Standard over conventional
accelerated tests, such as the neutral salt spray test (NSS) as specified in ISO 9227 and the wet (salt
fog)/dry/humidity test as specified in ISO 14993, lies in their better ability to reproduce the corrosion
that occurs in atmospheric environments which contain much sea salt.
Accelerated corrosion tests to simulate atmospheric corrosion in such environments are
intended/expected to include the following requirements.
a) Constant absolute humidity: It is generally observed that temperature and relative humidity change
under a constant absolute humidity in outdoor environments. The water absorption of deposited
salts is an important factor affecting atmospheric corrosion behaviour. The same relationship,
constant absolute humidity, as an actual environment is intended/expected to exist for temperature
and relative humidity during dry/wet cycles.
b) Control of the amount of salt deposition: The amount of the salt deposition on test specimens is
intended/expected to be changed according to the corrosivity of the atmosphere in which the tested
metallic material can be used. A salt-containing test solution is intended/expected to be diluted or
the spraying time is intended/expected to be adjusted to provide the same yearly average amount
of the salt deposition as an actual environment.
Therefore, the tests described in this International Standard involve the salt deposition and cyclic
dry/wet conditions under a constant absolute humidity.
The results obtained do not permit far-reaching conclusions on the corrosion resistance of the
tested metallic material under the whole range of environmental conditions in which it can be used.
Nevertheless, the tests provide valuable information on the relative performance of materials exposed
to salt-contaminated environments similar to those used in the tests.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed
that compliance with this International Standard can involve the use of a patent concerning the tests
given in Clause 8, Table 3, and Figure 2.
ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity, and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has ensured the ISO that he/she is willing to negotiate licences under
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In
this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with ISO. Information can be
