Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
A humid atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide induces corrosion of many metals.
The results obtained in this document should not be regarded as a direct guide to the corrosion
resistance of the tested materials in all environments where these materials may be used. Similarly,
performances of different materials in this document should not be taken as a direct guide to the
relative corrosion resistance of these materials in service.
It is appropriate to test only the same corrosion protection systems at the same time in one test
procedure, because an interaction between samples can't be prevented. When testing different
corrosion protection systems with different materials, it should be taken into account that the influence
of sulfur dioxide often can be different.
The term “fixed gas method” means that at the beginning of the test a fixed volume of gas is introduced
into a cabinet of fixed volume.

WARNING — This document does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish
appropriate safety and health practices.
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for assessing the resistance of materials or products to a humid
atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide.
This method is applicable to testing metals and alloys, metallic and non-organic coatings and organic
coatings.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content

4 Principle
The test specimens are exposed to a humid atmosphere containing sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide
dissolved by the moisture condenses on the test specimen surface and causes corrosion.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Component protection.
All components in contact with sulfur dioxide in a humid atmosphere shall be made of corrosion
resistant materials, and shall themselves not emit any gas or vapour likely to influence corrosion of the
test specimens.

5.2 Test cabinet.
The preferred capacity of the test cabinet is (300 ± 10) l. When agreed between the interested parties,
other capacities may be used. In these cases, the size and/or number of test specimens, the volume of
gas and the quantity of water shall be properly arranged in accordance with the capacity of the test
cabinet.
The upper part of the cabinet shall be designed so that drops of condensed water formed on its surface
do not fall on the test specimens being tested. An inclination of the upper part of the test cabinet of about
12° or more to the horizontal plane provides a suitable safeguard. The test specimens may be placed at
different levels within the cabinet, as long as the solution does not drip from the test specimens or their
supports at one level onto other test specimens placed below.
The temperature in the test cabinet is controlled by heating the floor and lower part of the side walls
of the test cabinet. The temperature shall be measured at least 250 mm from the side walls and at least
150 mm below the upper part (lid).
A gas inlet port shall be less than 50 mm above the water surface. The test cabinet shall be hermetically
leak-tight.
A pressure relief valve shall be placed in or near the upper part of the test cabinet.
The exhaust gas and the released gas from the pressure relief valve shall be treated as appropriate.
NOTE Relevant regulatory limitations can apply.
A drain port shall be provided in the test cabinet.
A typical test cabinet is shown in Figure 1. Another example of test cabinet is shown in Figure A.1.
The test cabinet shall be installed in a room free from dust, draughts, corrosive gas and direct solar
radiation, at a room temperature of (23 ± 5) °C and at a relative humidity of less than 75 %.

shall be fitted with appropriate regulating and measuring apparatus to ensure the supply of the correct
volume of gas. The volume of gas delivered into the test cabinet should be measured by a calibrated
flow meter. Another measuring instrument works with squeezing out a viscous liquid paraffin for the
volume of the gas for 0,2, 1,0 and 2,0 l.
WARNING — Sulfur dioxide (CAS no. 7446-09-5) is toxic, corrosive and irritating. Handling of
sulfur dioxide shall be restricted to skilled personnel or conducted under their control. The
apparatus shall be used and maintained by skilled personnel, not only so that the procedures can
be performed correctly, but also because of the hazards to health and safety that are involved.
5.4 Conditioning of a new cabinet.
In order to minimize the effect from the material of the cabinet by sulfur dioxide, a new cabinet shall
be operated at least one test cycle in accordance with the procedures given in 8.2 to 8.5 without test
specimens. The conditioning shall conform to Table 1, with 2,0 l of sulfur dioxide.
6 Test specimens
6.1 General
The number, type, surface roughness, thickness of coatings, shape and dimensions of test specimens
shall be selected according to the specification for the materials or product being tested. When not
specified, details concerning the test specimens shall be agreed between the interested parties.
6.2 Dimensions
A typical specimen size is 150 mm × 100 mm by 0,75 mm to 1,25 mm thickness.
6.3 Preparation
6.3.1 Metals and alloys
Thoroughly clean the test specimens before testing. The cleaning method depends on the nature of the
surface and the contaminants. Abrasives shall not include the use of any abrasives or solvents that may
attack the surface of the test specimens. Take care that the test specimens are not recontaminated after
cleaning, by excessive or careless handling.
If test specimens are cut from a large coated article, the cutting shall be carried out in such a way that
the coating is not damaged, especially in the area adjac
