Overview

EN 13523-0:2021 - "Coil coated metals - Test methods - Part 0: General introduction" is the CEN/CENELEC introductory document for the EN 13523 series. It defines the overall scope and common terminology used across the coil coated metals test-method suite, and it prescribes how to take representative samples and prepare test panels used by the individual test methods. The standard also sets out conditioning and general test-environment rules to ensure reproducible results.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope and common definitions
  • Establishes terms used throughout EN 13523 (examples: coil coated metal, coil coating, coat, coating material, organic coating).
  • Aligns many definitions with EN ISO 4618 and notes specific adaptations for coil coating.
• Coating categories
  • Defines category 1 coating (dry film thickness up to 60 μm) and category 2 coating (dry film thickness > 60 μm or laminated plastics film).
• Sampling
  • Requires representative samples taken from the full width of the coil unless otherwise agreed; warns that sampling direction (with/across rolling direction) can influence some test results.
• Preparation of test panels
  • Test panels must be prepared from representative samples and be flat and of the size specified by the relevant individual test methods.
• Conditioning and test conditions
  • Panels should be brought to ambient temperature before testing.
  • If conditioning is required or in dispute, panels are conditioned at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % RH for at least 24 hours in accordance with EN 23270.
  • Tests are carried out at ambient conditions, with dispute resolution defaulting to EN 23270 environmental settings.
• Normative references and series structure
  • Lists normative references and provides the complete list of EN 13523 parts (e.g., film thickness, gloss, adhesion, salt spray, UV resistance, abrasion and others).

Applications and Who Uses It

• Manufacturers of coil coated steel and aluminium use EN 13523-0 to standardize sampling, panel preparation and testing conditions across production and QA processes.
• Test laboratories rely on Part 0 as the procedural baseline before applying specific test methods from the EN 13523 series.
• Specifiers, architects and product designers reference this document to understand the test basis behind performance claims for coil coated products.
• Procurement and certification bodies use it to ensure consistent, reproducible testing in contracts and conformity assessments.

Related Standards

• EN ISO 4618 - Paints and varnishes: terms and definitions (source for many definitions)
• EN 23270 (ISO 3270) - Temperatures and humidities for conditioning and testing
• EN 10169 - Continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products - technical delivery conditions

Keywords: EN 13523-0:2021, coil coated metals test methods, sampling and preparation of test panels, conditioning, test conditions, coil coating.
