CORROSION TESTS AND COATING SURFACE ANALYSIS
Do you need to perform a coating surface analysis to certify your products?
MaterialScan provides technical support all over Italy, from the selection of the testing plan to the delivery of the results.
Coating surface analysis for automotive
The automotive industry has standardised several corrosion tests and coating surface analysis to provide reliable and performant products.
Test conditions of coating surface analysis vary with the manufacturer’s specifications, which is why nearly 50% of our offering is dedicated to the standards of major OEMs, including BMW, DAF, Ford, General Motors, Hyundai / KIA, Jaguar / Land Rover, MAN, Mercedes, Peugeot / Citroën, Porsche, Renault, Scania, Thule, Volkswagen and Volvo.
Coating surface analysis and tests
The most common coating surface analysis methods used for product qualification and quality control of paints, varnishes and galvanic coatings are divided into corrosion tests, moisture, condensation and immersion resistance, chemical and temperature resistance.
After the environmental tests, coatings are inspected to assess their degradation, integrity, adhesion and hardness, measure their thickness, or conduct other performance tests.
Coating surface analysis test list
The test list is continuously increasing and we try to adapt to your needs and to maintain the highest level of service.

Coating tests on building hardware
The standard EN 1670 specifies the requirements for the corrosion resistance of building hardware for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling.
Coating surface analysis is required by the harmonized standards to REG 305/2011 (Construction Products) and is to be performed on products such as emergency exit devices, single-axis hinges, locks and latches.
IKEA corrosion tests
Corrosion tests apply to many metal fittings in furniture for the purpose of testing their durability. Furniture hinges, for example, must meet specific durability and corrosion resistance requirements in accordance with ISO 6270-2.
Some companies, such as IKEA, require their suppliers to carry out such coating surface analsys on a regular basis, at least once per year.
Does your company operate in the IKEA supply chain?
Environmental tests on electrical parts
The harmonized standards regarding luminaires dictate to evaluate the resistance to rapid changes in temperature in compliance with IEC 60068-2-14.
Other electrical and electronic components such as alarm systems, connectors, optical fibre cables, etc. may require environmental testing, especially if they are to be installed in a marine environment. In addition, hand-held motor-operated electric tools can also be tested to corrosion resistance according to the specifications of Husqvarna, Stihl and many others.
Coating surface analysis of appliances
The IEC 60068-2 series of standards identifies procedures for evaluating the corrosion resistance of components, equipment and materials used in the manufacture of household appliances.
Coating surface analysis is important for those products intended to be used outdoors or in a marine environment, such as onboard ships and boats.
Environmental tests on solar panels
Renewable energy production systems based on photovoltaic modules are a rapidly growing market sector.
Since photovoltaic modules are intended for long-term outdoor operation, their durability to cold and dry heat must be verified with environmental tests.
The tests apply to all types of photovoltaic modules (both silicon and thin-film), whether flat, concentrating systems or assemblies.
Coating surface analysis for the maritime industry
Marine equipment falling under the scope of DIR 2014/90/EU, such as navigation and radiocommunication equipment, is tested to assess the environmental resistance according to test procedures included in the IEC 60068-2 series.
Anti-corrosion coatings applied to steel structures are subjected to corrosion tests and coating surface analysis as stated by international standards of ISO 4628 and ISO 12944 series.
