Paints and varnishes - Scratch test using a spring-loaded pen (ISO 22557:2019)
This document specifies a method for determining the resistance of a coating to scratches introduced by a usually hand-held loaded stylus.
The test can be carried out using a point stylus (method A) or using a disc stylus (method B).
Both methods are generally applicable and can be used in the field as well as on curved surfaces. Method A can also be applied on small test specimens (minimum dimensions 30 mm × 50 mm).
The test can be carried out as a "pass/fail" test (test requirement I) or as a classification test (test requirement II).

Peintures et vernis - Essai de rayage manuel utilisant un barreau d'essai de dureté (ISO 22557:2019)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour déterminer la résistance d'un revêtement aux rayures provoquées par un stylet, généralement portatif, sur lequel une charge est appliquée.
L'essai peut être réalisé avec un stylet à pointe (méthode A) ou un stylet à disque (méthode B).
Les deux méthodes sont généralement applicables, et il est possible de les utiliser sur le terrain ainsi que sur des surfaces courbes. La méthode A peut également être utilisée sur de petites éprouvettes (dimensions minimales: 30 mm × 50 mm).
L'essai peut être mis en œuvre sous la forme d'un essai de conformité/non-conformité (exigence d'essai I) ou d'un essai de classification (exigence d'essai II).

4 Principle
A stylus loaded with a test load between 0,5 N to 20 N is manually moved over the coating surface. The
so introduced damage is visually (magnifier) examined and assessed.
The test can be carried out as method A using a point stylus (diameter 0,50 mm, 0,75 mm, or 1,00 mm)
or as method B using a disc stylus (made of stainless steel, copper, thermoset, or PMMA [Polymethyl
methacrylate]).
5 Apparatus
5.1 Hardness pen, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, with the following properties:
5.1.1 The pressure spring, which is compressed by the locking slider, generates the test load exerting
on the stylus. This test load can be read in newtons by means of the slider position on the scale.
In order not to change the elastic behaviour of the spring, it shall be relaxed in case the hardness pen is
not in use for any length of time.
5.1.2 The range of the test load shall be between 0,5 N to 20 N.
With regard to common hardness pens test load, ranges between 0,5 N to 3 N (graduation 0,1 N), 1,5 N
to 10 N (graduation 0,5 N) and 3 N to 20 N (graduation 1 N) are available by means of exchangeable
pressure springs.
Due to the non-linearity of the spring characteristics and the friction within the hardness pen, the
specified lower limits of the test load ranges shall not be underrun.
5.1.3 The removable head piece is the guide bush for the point stylus or the test disc holder respectively.
The test load, set by means of the slider, is effective if
— for the apparatus in accordance with Figure 1, the point stylus is pushed into the head piece so that

5.1.3 The removable head piece is the guide bush for the point stylus or the test disc holder respectively.
The test load, set by means of the slider, is effective if
— for the apparatus in accordance with Figure 1, the point stylus is pushed into the head piece so that
only the tungsten-carbide insert protrudes, and if
— for the apparatus in accordance with Figure 2, the test disc is pushed into the head piece so that
both supporting wheels touch the counter surface.
NOTE For the apparatus in accordance with Figure 1, scratches might be introduced unintentionally by
the head piece. These scratches hinder the evaluation of the test. Therefore, head piece options with supporting
wheels are also available (see Figure 3).
