Paints and varnishes - Determination of film hardness by pencil test (ISO 15184:2012)

This International Standard specifies a method for determining the film hardness by pushing pencils of known hardness over the film. The test can be performed on a single coating of a paint, varnish or related product, or on the upper layer of a multi-coat system. This rapid test has not been found to be useful in comparing the pencil hardness of different coatings. It is more useful in providing relative ratings for a series of coated panels exhibiting significant differences in pencil hardness. The method is applicable only to smooth surfaces.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Bestimmung der Härte von Beschichtungen durch Testen mit Bleistiften (ISO 15184:2012)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zum Bestimmen der Schichthärte durch das Schieben oder
Ziehen von Bleistiften bekannter Härte über die Beschichtung fest.
Die Prüfung kann auf einer einzelnen Schicht eines Beschichtungsstoffes oder auf der obersten Schicht eines
Mehrschichtsystems durchgeführt werden.
Diese schnelle und kostengünstige Prüfung wurde als nicht nützlich befunden, um die Bleistifthärten
verschiedener Beschichtungen zu vergleichen. Es ist eher nützlich, relative Bewertungen für eine Reihe von
beschichteten Platten zu liefern, die erhebliche Unterschiede in der Bleistifthärte aufweisen.
Das Verfahren ist nur auf glatten Oberflächen anwendbar.

Peintures et vernis - Détermination de la dureté du feuil par l'essai de dureté crayon (ISO 15184:2012)

L'ISO 15184:2012 spécifie une méthode de détermination de la dureté d'un feuil de peinture en déplaçant à sa surface des crayons de dureté connue.
L'essai peut être réalisé sur un revêtement monocouche de peinture, vernis ou produit associé ou sur la couche supérieure d'un système multicouche.
L'intérêt de cet essai rapide ne réside pas dans la comparaison des duretés crayon de différents revêtements mais dans l'obtention du classement d'une série de panneaux revêtus dont les duretés crayon présentent des différences significatives.
La méthode s'applique seulement aux surfaces lisses.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 15184 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 9,
General test methods for paints and varnishes.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15184:1998), which has been technically revised.
The main changes are:
a) the incorrect instruction in 9.5 in the previous edition (now 8.5) to push the test panel has been corrected
to an instruction to push the pencil;
b) the requirement in 9.5 in the previous edition (now 8.5) that the pencil move at 0,5 mm/s to 1 mm/s has
been replaced by a requirement that the speed simply be uniform;
c) the use of propelling/mechanical pencils is now permitted;
d) the supplementary test conditions (formerly Annex A) have been incorporated in the test report;
e) a new Annex A giving information on the applicability of the method has been added.
