Vitreous and porcelain enamel finishes - Selection of test methods for vitreous and porcelain enamelled areas of articles (ISO 4528:2022)

This document gives guidance on the selection of test methods for evaluating the performance of
vitreous and porcelain enamelled finishes in different applications. This document references the test
methods available for measuring the properties of these finishes and correlates these properties to the
requirements of specific enamelled articles.
This document is limited for the most part to test methods in ISO documents or European standards
but does not provide acceptance criteria or performance limits for the properties.
This document is applicable to all enamelled articles, irrespective of their basis metals.

Emails und Emaillierungen - Auswahl von Prüfverfahren für emaillierte Flächen von Erzeugnissen (ISO 4528:2022)

Dieses Dokument stellt eine Leitlinie für die Auswahl von Prüfverfahren zur Bewertung der Gebrauchseigenschaften von Emails und Emaillierungen in verschiedenen Anwendungen dar. Sie nimmt Bezug auf verfügbare Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Eigenschaften dieser Erzeugnisse und setzt diese Eigenschaften in Beziehung zu Anforderungen an spezifische, emaillierte Erzeugnisse.
Dieses Dokument bezieht sich größtenteils auf Prüfverfahren, die in Internationalen Normen der ISO und in Europäischen Normen beschrieben sind, und legt keine Annahmekriterien oder Grenzen der Gebrauchs-fähigkeit für die Eigenschaften fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt für alle emaillierten Erzeugnisse unabhängig vom Grundmetall.
WARNUNG - Diese Internationale Norm stimmt unter Umständen nicht mit der Arbeitsschutz-gesetzgebung einiger Länder überein und verlangt die Verwendung von Substanzen und/oder Verfahren, die bei Nichteinhaltung gewisser Sicherheitsmaßnahmen gesundheitsschädlich sein können. Diese Internationale Norm behandelt keine Gesundheitsgefährdungen, Sicherheits- oder Umweltaspekte und Gesetzgebungen, die mit ihrer Anwendung in Zusammenhang stehen. Der Anwender dieser Internationalen Norm ist dafür verantwortlich, Verfahren anzuwenden, die für die Gesundheit, Sicherheit und Umwelt hinnehmbar sind sowie geeignete Maßnahmen umzusetzen, um sämtlichen nationalen und internationalen Vorschriften zu entsprechen. Allein die Übereinstimmung mit der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm verleiht keine Befreiung von den gesetzlichen Verpflichtungen.

Finitions en émail vitrifié - Le choix des méthodes d'essai applicables aux surfaces émaillées de pièces (ISO 4528:2022)

Le présent document constitue un guide pour le choix des méthodes d’essai permettant l’évaluation des performances de finitions en émail vitrifié destinées à diverses applications. Il fournit la référence des méthodes d’essai existantes permettant de mesurer les propriétés de ces finitions, et établit la relation entre ces propriétés et les exigences propres à certaines pièces émaillées particulières.
Le présent document se limite dans sa plus grande partie aux méthodes d’essai issues de documents ISO ou de Normes européennes, mais il ne fournit ni les critères d’approbation ni les limites de performance pour lesdites propriétés.
Le présent document est applicable à toutes les pièces émaillées, quel que soit leur métal de base.

Steklasti in porcelanski zaključni emajli - Izbor preskusnih metod za emajlirane površine izdelkov (ISO 4528:2022)

Ta dokument podaja smernice za izbor preskusnih metod za vrednotenje površine steklastih in porcelanskih zaključnih emajlov pri različnih načinih uporabe. Sklicuje se na preskusne metode, ki so na voljo za merjenje lastnosti teh emajlov, ter te lastnosti povezuje z zahtevami za določene emajlirane izdelke. V večjem delu je omejen na preskusne metode, opisane v standardih ISO ali evropskih standardih, vendar za lastnosti ne podaja meril glede sprejemljivosti ali omejitev učinkovitosti. Ta dokument se uporablja za vse emajlirane izdelke ne glede na to, katere so njihove osnovne kovine.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 4528:2021(E)
Vitreous and porcelain enamel finishes — Guide to
selection of test methods for vitreous and porcelain
enamelled areas of articles
WARNING — This International Standard might not be compliant with some countries’ health
and safety legislation and calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that can be injurious
to health if adequate safety measures are not taken. This International Standard does not
address any health hazards, safety, or environmental matters and legislations associated with
its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate
health, safety, and environmentally acceptable practices and take suitable actions to comply
with any national and international regulations. Compliance with this International Standard
does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
1 Scope
This International Standard is a guide to the selection of test methods for evaluating the performance
of vitreous and porcelain enamelled finishes in different applications. It references the test methods
available for measuring the properties of these finishes and correlates these properties to the
requirements of specific enamelled articles.
It is limited for the most part to test methods that are described in ISO International/European
Standards and does not provide acceptance criteria or performance limits for the properties.
This International Standard applies to all enamelled articles irrespective of their basis metals.
2 Selection of test methods
The properties of enamelled surfaces are listed in Table 1, along with the numbers of the ISO test
methods by which they may be measured. The table identifies the tests that should be performed to
assess the performance of 30 specific enamelled articles. Suitable standard test methods are selected
by noting the specific tests recommended in the column for each of the enamelled articles.
The following symbols are used in Table 1.
— + testing in accordance with the method given is suitable;
— (+) the test method that is cited may need to be modified to take into account special requirements
of a specific application;
— - the test is not applicable and/or the test method is not suitable.
