Overview

CEN ISO/TR 11594:2022 - "Best practices for the creation/evaluation of fingerprint analysis in accordance with the ISO 28199 series" is a technical report that supplements the ISO 28199 series. It provides technical descriptions of X‑Y measuring tables (scanners) and practical guidance for creating and evaluating standardized test panels used to assess coating process compatibility. The report focuses on both visual and metrological evaluation methods and supplies sample applications, measurement presentation examples and recommendations for laboratory practice.

Key Topics

• X‑Y measuring tables: technical descriptions, measurement strategies and sample graphical presentations of measured quantities.
• Standard test panels (FAS panels): guidance on dimensions, substrate preparation and application methods to produce predictable, process‑representative panels.
• Film thickness wedges: purpose and coverage of film thickness ranges to simulate series coating processes; methods for creating wedges including dynamic path distance, variable paint flow quantity and changing tip velocity.
• Optical and metrological measurements: use of film thickness devices, colour‑measurement devices, surface‑structure and mottling measurement instruments; role of film thickness measurements as a control parameter.
• Visual evaluation: recommendations for illumination chambers and lighting compliant with ISO 3668, items of equipment (fluorescent, halogen, daylight lamps) and process steps for standardized visual assessment.
• Equipment, monitoring and software: current state‑of‑the‑art measuring devices, monitoring of test equipment, and data‑handling/software considerations.
• Interlaboratory results and quality: reporting on precision from interlaboratory testing and general quality requirements for panel creation and evaluation.
• Historical context: evolution from EUCAR and DIN 55993 work into ISO 28199.

Applications

• Automotive paint development and approval: early demonstration of process compatibility for new base coats and clear coats.
• Coating process simulation and R&D: laboratory simulation of high‑rotation bell application or other spray technologies to predict series behavior.
• Quality control and supplier qualification: objective metrological and visual tests to validate coatings before series use.
• Laboratories and standards bodies: use by paint laboratories, OEM technical teams, coating suppliers, metrology labs and test facilities.

Who should use it

• Paint and varnish formulators and manufacturers
• Automotive OEMs and bodymakers involved in paint approval
• Coating laboratory technicians and metrologists
• Quality assurance and R&D teams in surface finishing industries

Related Standards

• ISO 28199 series (primary series on fingerprint panels and process prediction)
• ISO 3668 (visual assessment illumination)
• Historical reference: DIN 55993 series / EUCAR project outputs

This technical report is practical for anyone needing standardized methods for creating, measuring and visually evaluating coating “fingerprint” panels to ensure reliable process compatibility and objective coating assessment.

4 R eview of previous developments
After the successful introduction of this prediction method for the process behaviour of automobile
series paints and an application for a patent in 1994, the ISO 28199 series up to 2009 was developed and
published in the years 1999 to 2009, initially in the form of a EUCAR pre-standard within the framework
of a EUCAR project (from 2006 onwards, originally initiation of a DIN standard – the DIN 55993 series–
which in the meantime has been replaced by the ISO 28199 series).
X-Y measuring tables (scanners) that were innovative at the time were developed to the point of being
ready for series production from the mid-1990s onwards. The first fully automated X-Y measuring table
was put into service in 1996.
After pre-development in the early 1990s, the first measuring tables were subsequently made ready
for series production. Standardization of the evaluation of measurements was very soon demanded by
the automotive industry. The aim was that paint suppliers provide process-reliable and suitable coating
systems to paint users as early as possible in the approval process for new base coats. In particular,
the needs of the automotive industry increasingly demanded the ability to demonstrate process
compatibility already in the design phase for new base coats. Further components of and results from
X-Y measuring tables included not just the demonstration of process compatibility for coating systems
awaiting approval, but also the ability to carry out process compatibility studies for new coating lines,
for example.
A new method was developed to ensure the process compatibility of new paints in base coats already
in advance of the actual paint approval. This method essentially consists of the application of a
film thickness wedge of the base coat (BC, now also a two-layer structure with BC 1 and BC 2) onto
standardized steel sheets that have been coated with a particular coil-coating-PUR paint and that have
a particular defined substrate structure (visual appearance of a very smooth coil-coating painting).
This is followed by coating with clear coat (series clear coat or with a new clear coat that is to be
investigated) with a constant film thickness. The film thickness wedge of a paint system that is to be
ISO/TR 11594:2022(E)
investigated (e.g. new base coat/paint) covers the range of film thicknesses of the series coating process
that the new paint is to be used in. A sufficiently high number of measurements are carried out with
various optical measuring devices so as to satisfy the requirements of statistical evaluation methods.
The film thickness measurement in comparison with the measurements from the optical measuring
devices is an important control parameter for an X-Y measuring table.
In the next step, suitable laboratory application systems (initially with pneumatic/pneumatic
application, later with special high-rotation bell electrostatic paint sprayguns/pneumatic) were
acquired. Today, modern high-rotation bell processes are simulated. Such is the progress that has
been made, the various existing high-rotation bell and their coating processes can be simulated
with “replacement bells” in laboratory systems in the case of central worldwide approval for various
factories, for example. It was of course initially difficult to transfer the correlation of series coating to
laboratory applications. Ultimately, success was achieved with the aid of so-called “practical fingerprint
panels” also coated onto the bodywork at a suitable location in a frame in series production.
The demands from automotive manufacturers for standardization of evaluation, as mentioned above,
resulted in a European Council for Automotive R&D (EUCAR) project with precisely this aim.
EUCAR is an umbrella body of automotive manufacturers that aims to jointly promote research and
development in the areas of mobility, technology and processes. Suppliers and/or parties from other
sectors also participate alongside automotive manufacturers on projects for these purposes.
The result of this joint project is the former DIN 55993 series, which was published as a draft version in
2006 and which in the meantime has been replaced by the ISO 28199 series.
5 General quality requirements for the creation of a standard test panel
It is important in terms of the predictability of process compatibility that the coating systems to be
investigated are coated/produced in a manner as close as possible to the real process onto the standard
panels of dimensions 300 mm × 570 mm (see ISO 28199-1) in laboratory systems, for example. Suitable
methods for this are described in Clause 9.
The evaluation of the measurement values of various optical measuring devices (e.g. colour, coating
structure, gloss, mottling, haze, sparkling) and the classification of the relevant film thicknesses
provides information about important process characteristics such as colour stability, gloss and
mottling behaviour, and coating structure (e.g. microstructure and ‘orange peel’ texture, depending on
the selected measurement method) of the coating systems to be investigated.
This supplies results that allow conclusions to be drawn regarding:
— the properties of base metallic coats, for example, such as those of the effect pigments that are used;
— the hiding power of paints on coloured fillers, for example;
— the colour tone stability in the process film thickness range;
— the wetting behaviour;
— the sagging behaviour;
— the bubble behaviour;
— re-dissolving by a particular clear coat (series standard clear coat or test clear coat);
— the overspray absorption;
— the pinhole behaviour;
— many other base coat or clear coat properties.
ISO/TR 11594:2022(E)
6 Current evaluation methods
The system described in the ISO 28199 series and in this document allows conclusions to be drawn
about process suitability for a particular coating process (prediction of process suitability) depending
on various coating systems and/or various substrates and vice versa.
One example in this regard would be the investigation of clear coats:
The clear coat wedge essentially allows conclusions to be drawn about wetting on the relevant substrate
itself and about which clear coat structure is present in a previously defined process window.
The method can also be used in the prediction of process suitability of new base coat paints (BC as a
one-layer coat or BC 1 and BC 2 as a two-layer coat with BC 1 with constant film thickness and BC 2 as a
base coat wedge) with a standard clear coat or with the use of a standard base coat in comparison with
various clear coat systems.
7 Selected examples for the graphical presentation of measured quantities from
various measuring tables
An early initial example from late 1999/early 2000 of a metallic BC paint wedge as a film thickness
profile is presented in Figure 1. The application of the base coat wedge using the old method with
pneumatic/pneumatic application had not yet been fully optimized.

8 Test panels
Testing the surface quality is a possible method of checking test panels (incoming goods inspection).
This can be carried out using a measuring table with suitable measuring devices.
— Film thickness measurement, to determine the film thickness distribution on test panels.
— Colour tone measurement, to determine a homogeneous colour tone. Important for subsequent
determination of the colour consistency and the process hiding power of base coats or topcoats.
— Structure measurement, to ensure a homogeneous structure.
— Gloss measurement, as a homogeneous reproducible gloss value is important in order to ensure
reproducible wetting.
All these measurements have the aim of keeping the influence of the substrate on the measurement
results of the coated panel as reproducible and minimal as possible.
As an alternative to pure coil coating sheets, plastic panels can also be used.
It is possible that these already have different surface properties or else different surface properties will
be induced, depending on their application purpose. In this regard, both defined cleaning and activation
can be necessary, which can be tested by measurement of the surface energy (ISO 19403 series), for
example. After coating with specified standard materials, the profile values can be measured in order
to monitor and approve the profile properties of the plastics between batches. Analogously to the coil
coating sheets, additional measurement of the colour tone and gloss can also be carried out here.
The film thickness measurement can be carried out using a microscope or else, after prior calibration,
with the corresponding coating material in comparison with the magneto-inductive measurement on
the coil coating sheet.
9 Materials for FAS panels
A so-called wedge panel is created in order to determine the process window of a certain base coat in
a paintshop. The so-called Fingerprint Analysis System (FAS) test panels are available in the materials
of steel (e.g. bright grey coil coating sheet – steel), aluminium or plastic. The FAS panels are moved onto
the X-Y measuring system/table (scanner) for individual measurements either automatically using a
magazine or else manually.
In the case of two-layer base coats, the FAS panels are presented with a base coat (BC 1) applied as a
constant layer and a base coat (BC 2) applied as a film thickness wedge. In the case of “one-layer base
coats”, the single base coat is applied as a wedge, while the clear coat is applied with a constant clear
coat thickness both in the case of the two-layer base coat and of a one-layer base coat. Subsequently, an
evaluation is carried out based on the determined colour and structure values and, depending on the
specifications, on additional measured quantities related to the paints (see Clause 5).
Before this step, attention is to be paid to the transfer/simulation of coating parameters and conditions
in the spray booth/surroundings in series production to a laboratory application system (see also
Clause 5).
Applications of FAS panel include the following:
— Colour tone styling, paint development, product optimization, quality control, optimization of
application processes in the automotive industry. Paint manufacturing industry, strip-coating
industry and industries that employ coating application as automated processes.
— Simulation of the series coating process. The simulation of the series coating process can be
supported by the methods in ISO 28199.
— The test procedure is based on experience that shows that the film thickness, colour/effects and
structure of a coating are important control parameters in the application process, which the main
ISO/TR 11594:2022(E)
coating properties depend upon directly or indirectly. Additional coating properties such as those
listed under measured quantities (see Clause 5) can identify other optimizations of the coating
process.
— A wedge panel is created in order to determine the process window of the base coat in a paintshop.
Base coat (BC 1), base coat (BC 2) and clear coat are applied to this, for example, and the layer to be
examined is coated in wedge form. Subsequently, an evaluation is carried out in accordance with
specifications based on the determined colour and structure values or other coating properties.
— See the second example of a scanner available on the marketplace for an example and functional
description of FAS software.
10 Wedge layers
The coating of wedge-shaped layers of the coating material to be characterized is important for
fingerprint analysis.
When fingerprint analysis was first introduced, wedge-shaped layers were created using two
pneumatically applied coats, whereby the fingerprint sheet was completely coated in the first hit of
application and only half of it was coated in the second hit of application (see Figure 2). A wedge layer
of satisfactory quality was achieved in combination with the down draft that applied during coating
during and with gravity.

Figure 2 — Creation of a wedge-shaped layer
However, this type of coating (2 × pneumatic) is not usual in e.g. series automotive painting, and as
a result, more process-like application methods were required. There was a focus on the use of
electrostatically supported high-speed atomization, in particular. To meet this requirement, there
was increased use of painting robots in the laboratory area and of highly flexible automatic painting
equipment with high-speed atomizers. As a result, wedge layers in the form of single layers with good
accuracy became feasible.
11 Possible methods for creating wedge layers
11.1 Through dynamic path distance
Figure 3 illustrates a wedge-shaped coating applied by means of dynamic enlarging of the path distance
during the coating step. This is achieved by small path distance at the bottom of the panel and large
path distance at the top. All other coating parameters, such as rotational speed, shaping air and paint
flow, remain constant.

Key
1 wedge layer
Figure 3 — Wedge-shaped coating by means of dynamic enlarging of the path distance during
the coating step
Advantage: The brush parameters can be set to typical series values.
Disadvantage: Wedges of satisfactory quality can only be achieved with great difficulty with this
application type as a result of the inhomogeneity of the ESTA-HR spray cone. The membrane overlap is
not constant across the entire coating area.
11.2 Through dynamic changing of the quantity of paint (paint flow quantity)
Figure 4 illustrates a wedge-shaped coating by means of dynamic reduction of the paint flow during the
coating step. This is achieved by high paint flow at the bottom and low paint flow at the top. All other
coating parameters, such as rotational speed, shaping air, paint flow and tip velocity, remain constant.
ISO/TR 11594:2022(E)
Key

Figure 4 — Wedge-shaped coating by means of dynamic reduction of the paint flow during the
coating step
Disadvantage: Wedge quality is only mediocre because the SB50 % value (spray pattern 50 % value)
changes with the change in the paint flow. This disadvantage can be addressed by adapting the air
quantities assigned to the relevant paint quantities (shaping air and/or horn/atomizing air). However,
complete correlation with series parameters is then no longer possible.
The different paint flow quantities for each coating path also result in different atomization behaviour
of the coating material. This can lead to ove
