Scope

This Standard sets out a method for determining the resistance of paint films to washing. The method is primarily intended to assess the ability of the paint film to resist change in gloss, loss of integrity or damage by repeated cleaning. It does not necessarily assess the ease of stain removal from the paint surface.
