Introduction
In the past, it has been common practice in the northern hemisphere to expose test panels at 45° facing
South.
Whilst this orientation is appropriate for degradation of the organic coating, investigations have shown that
it has little bearing on the overall corrosion performance of the product when used in building applications.
For example, the 45° facing South exposure takes no account of
— overhangs which produce unwashed areas;
— sheet overlaps;
— low pitched roofing, etc.
The Outdoor Exposure Committee of European Coil Coating Association (ECCA) designed an exposure
system which aligns more closely with “real life” situations and which is the basis of this part of EN 13523.
Three panel orientations are specified:
a) PANEL 1: 45° to horizontal facing South. The traditional orientation for evaluation of organic coatings:
colour change, gloss change, chalking, etc.;
b) PANEL 2: 90° to horizontal facing North, with an overhang for evaluating general corrosion on side
cladding particularly in unwashed areas;
c) PANEL 3: 5° to horizontal facing South. This panel which includes an overlap is principally for evaluating
general corrosion in roofing applications.
The selection of one or more panel designs and their corresponding orientations will be chosen according to
the exposure data required.
The multiplicity of panel types and exposure conditions can be somehow confusing when trying to compare
results from systems that were characterized in different conditions. The normative recommendation is to
use PANEL 1: 45° to horizontal facing South for characterizing UV resistance. PANEL 2 and PANEL 3 are
more suitable for evaluation of corrosion resistance.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13523-0 apply.

4 Apparatus
4.1 Rack design
The typical rack configuration accommodating the three elevations is shown in Figures 4 a), 4 b) and 5. The
actual design and material of manufacture is at the discretion of the individual taking into consideration the
corrosivity on the exposure site. Similarly the method of fixing the panels to the rack is up to the individual,
but they shall be fixed in such a way as to avoid bimetallic corrosion. The material to provide the overhang
on the North-facing panel shall be manufactured from an inert rigid material such as polymethyl
methacrylate and shall give an overhang on the panel of approximately 65 mm (see 2 in Figure 4 a)).
e.g. Perspex. Perspex is the trade name of a product supplied by Perspecs Distribution Ltd. This information is given
for the convenience of users of this document and does not constitute an endorsement of the product named.
Equivalent products may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same results.
Some racks are designed in such a way that there is nothing behind the exposed panels, some racks are
designed with a rigid support plate behind the panels. A support contributes to the overall ageing
mechanisms because it changes airflows and temperature on the backside of the samples. The
recommendation is an open back of the samples. Other exposure methods are available to enhance
degradation rates. In all cases, details about the rack design shall be given with the outdoor exposure results.
Care shall be taken when comparing data from different methods.
4.2 Apparatus to prepare 90° variable radius bends
Forming the 90° variable radius bends can be made either manually or by an automatic press fitted with a
variable radius forming tool and die. The typical design of a suitable tool and die is illustrated in Figure 6 and
defined in EN 13523-7:2014, 8.2.2.
4.3 Cutting tool, with a hard metal tip having a radius or width capable of exposing at least 0,2 mm of
metal substrate in accordance with EN ISO 17872.
NOTE If the substrate is zinc- or zinc-alloy coated steel, the intention is that the scratch should penetrate as far as
the zinc coating and not further, to the steel.
4.4 Stainless steel self-tapping fixing screws, with integral sealing ring and plastics cover (see Figure 2
and Figure 3).
4.5 Aluminium domed rivets, with a stainless-steel core (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).
5 Sampling
Shall be in accordance with EN 13523-0.
