5.2 Test specimens
Wherever practicable, test specimens shall be production components. However, if by agreement
special test specimens are prepared for convenience in referee or acceptance tests, they shall be of the
same alloy as the production components and processed through the anodizing line at the same time as
the production components.
5.3 Acceptance tests
Acceptance tests shall be as specified by the customer.
5.4 Referee tests
In cases of dispute, the appropriate referee tests specified in this document shall be used.
5.5 Production control tests
Tests for production control purposes shall be at the discretion of the anodizer.
6 Coating thickness
6.1 General
Anodic oxidation coatings are designated by their thickness class. The required thickness of a coating is
of the utmost importance and shall always be specified.
6.2 Classification
Anodic oxidation coatings are graded according to the minimum allowed value of the average thickness
(minimum average thickness) in micrometres. The thickness classes are designated by the letters “AA”,
followed by the thickness grade; typical thickness classes are given in Table 1.
For anodic oxidation coatings designed to impart particular surface properties, an average thickness
higher than typical may be selected, and additional intermediate values of average thickness may
be specified if necessary, but in no case shall the minimum local thickness be less than 80 % of the
minimum average thickness. The choice of thickness class will depend on relevant national standards.

The interpretation of average and local thickness requirements on a test
specimen shall be in accordance with Annex C.
For certain applications, such as those where resistance to corrosion is paramount, the anodizer and
the customer may agree to specify a minimum local thickness, with no restriction as to the average
thickness.

Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys — Method for specifying
decorative and protective anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium
1 Scope
This International Standard lays down a method for specifying decorative and protective anodic
oxidation coatings on aluminium (including aluminium-based alloys). It defines the characteristic
properties of anodic oxidation coatings, lists methods of test for checking the characteristic properties,
provides minimum performance requirements, and gives information on the grades of aluminium
suitable for anodizing and the importance of pretreatment to ensure the required appearance or texture
of the finished work.
It is not applicable to
a) non-porous anodic oxidation coatings of the barrier layer type,
b) anodic oxidation coatings produced by chromic acid or phosphoric acid anodizing,
c) anodic oxidation coatings intended merely to prepare the substrate for subsequent application of
organic coatings or for the electrodeposition of metals,
d) hard anodic oxidation coatings used mainly for engineering purposes, for which abrasion and wear
resistance are the primary characteristics (see ISO 10074).

5.5 Production control tests
Tests for production control purposes shall be at the discretion of the anodizer.
6 Coating thickness
6.1 General
Anodic oxidation coatings are designated by their thickness class. The required thickness of a coating is
of the utmost importance and shall always be specified.
6.2 Classification
Anodic oxidation coatings are graded according to the minimum allowed value of the average thickness
(minimum average thickness) in micrometres. The thickness classes are designated by the letters “AA”,
followed by the thickness grade; typical thickness classes are given in Table 1.
For anodic oxidation coatings designed to impart particular surface properties, an average thickness
higher than typical may be selected, and additional intermediate values of average thickness may be
specified if necessary, but in no case shall the minimum local thickness be less than 80 % of the
minimum average thickness. The choice of thickness class will depend on relevant national standards.
Table 1 — Typical coating thickness classes
Minimum average
Minimum local thickness
thickness
Class
μm
μm
AA 5 5,0 4
AA 10 10,0 8
AA 15 15,0 12
AA 20 20,0 16
AA 25 25,0 20
The interpretation of average and local thickness requirements on a piece
being tested shall be in accordance with Annex C.
For certain applications, such as those where resistance to corrosion is paramount, the anodizer and the
customer may agree to specify a minimum local thickness, with no restriction as to the average
thickness.
The use of some dyestuffs necessitates the specification of class 20 or higher to obtain adequate dye
absorption and light fastness.
For anodized aluminium, the degree of protection against pitting corrosion of the aluminium increases
with an increase in coating thickness. Thus, product life time is very dependent on the coatin g
thickness. Specifiers should consider the full life cycle impact of the product, including the energy
expenditure associated with manufacture, in-service maintenance procedures and recycling.

6.3 Measurement of thickness
Thickness measurements shall be carried out by one or more of the following methods:
e) examination of cross-section using microscopy in accordance with ISO 1463 or ISO 9220;
f) eddy-current method in accordance with ISO 2360;
g) split-beam microscope method specified in ISO 2128.
When using method b), the measurement apparatus shall be calibrated in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions using calibration standards before any measuring is performed.
Calibration standards are described in Annex D.
In cases of dispute, method a) shall be the referee method.
Thickness measurements shall be made on the significant surfaces in accordance with Annex C, but no
measurements shall be made within 5 mm of the areas of anodic contact or in the immediate vicinity of
a sharp edge.
7 Quality of sealing
7.1 General
Sealing is a treatment applied to an anodic oxidation coating to reduce its porosity and absorption
capacity (ISO 7583). In many applications, anodic oxidation coatings are expected to resist degradation
by aqueous solutions. Sealing can provide that resistance. Where the retention of the initial
appearance is important, for example in outdoor architectural applications, sealing at the surface of the
anodic oxidation coating is important. Where the anodized aluminium is expected to resist st rongly
acidic or alkaline conditions over a short time period, for example car-wash fluids, sealing throughout
the thickness of the coating can be important.
Hydrothermal sealing is very well established and quality control methods have been developed for
anodic oxidation coatings sealed using such treatments. These test methods can be appropriate where
other sealing treatments are used.
7.2 Assessment of quality of hydrothermal sealing
7.2.1 Referee test
In cases of dispute, the quality of hydrothermal sealing of anodic oxidation coatings shall be determined
by one of the test methods specified in ISO 3210. The necessity of prior acid treatment and maximum
accepted loss of mass shall be agreed between the anodizer and the customer.
The test should be carried out without prior acid treatment for internal architectural and decorative
coatings, and with prior acid treatment for external architectural coatings.
These methods are surface-specific. They test the resistance of the surface of a sealed anodic oxidation
coating to attack by certain acid solutions. They are not intended to test the quality of the whole
thickness of the coating.

NOTE The maximum accepted loss of mass of anodic oxidation coatings is variously set at 30 mg/dm or
2
40 mg/dm .
7.2.2 Production control tests
7.2.2.1 Admittance measurement
Where required, admittance shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2931. This method measures
electrical properties of the whole thickness of a sealed anodic oxidation coating; it is sensitive to coat ing
porosity.
Electrolytic colouring to produce dark colours and/or certain additives to hot-water sealing baths can
affect admittance values. In such cases the referee method (7.2.1) should be used.
NOTE For the hydrothermal sealing of clear anodic oxidation coatings, the maximum accepted corrected
admittance value is variously set at 20 μS or 25 µS relative to the conventional coating thickness of 20 μm.
7.2.2.2 Estimation of loss of absorptive power of anodic oxidation coatings after sealing.
Where required, loss of absorptive power of the surface of a sealed anodic oxidation coating shall be
determined in accordance with ISO 2143.
Electrolytic colouring to produce dark colours and/or certain additives to hot-water sealing baths can
affect dye absorption. In such cases the referee method (7.2.1) should be used.
NOTE Sealing is normally considered to be satisfactory if dye absorption ratings of 0, 1 or 2 on the colour scale
are obtained.
7.3 Assessment of quality of cold sealing
A two-step cold sealing treatment with a first step based on a nickel fluoride solution and a second step
of hydrothermal sealing or immersion in a nickel sulfate solution at above 60 °C may be specified. In
such a case, the test method specified in 7.2.1 may be used as the referee test and the test method
specified in 7.2.2.2 may be used as the production control test.
Other cold sealing treatments may be specified. Test methods shall be agreed by the anodizer and the
customer.
7.4 Assessment of quality of other sealing treatments
Other sealing treatments may be specified. Test methods shall be agreed by the anodizer and the
customer.
8 Appearance and colour
8.1 Visible defects
Anodized articles shall be free from visible defects on the significant surface(s) when viewed from a
distance to be agreed between interested parties. If requested by the customer, the position(s) and
maximum size(s) of the contact mark(s) shall be agreed between the anodizer and the customer.

Visual inspection shall be carried out under diffuse light, the source and strength of which shall be
agreed between the anodizer and the customer.
8.2 Colour and surface texture
The colour and surface texture and their tolerances shall be specified by the customer. If required for
matching purposes, the acceptable limits of variation should be defined by agreed samples (see B.2).
Anodized aluminium has the property of double reflection from the surface of oxidation layer and of the
basis metal. Therefore, when matching colour samples, they shall be held in the same plane and viewed
as near to normal as is practicable, with the direction of working (e.g. rolling, extrusions or machining
direction) always the same. A diffuse source of illumination shall be placed above and behind the
viewer.
Unless otherwise agreed, the colours shall be compared in diffuse daylight with the sun behind the
viewer. If the coloured coatings are to be used in artificial light, this lighting shall be used for colou
