Comprehensive Guide to ASTM D522 Impact Testing of Coatings on Substrates: A Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ASTM D522 Impact Testing of Coatings on Substrates is a widely accepted standard for evaluating the impact resistance of coatings on substrates. This standard is governed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is used globally in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing.

The ASTM D522 standard specifies the testing procedure for determining the impact resistance of coatings on substrates using a falling dart or a pendulum impact tester. The test involves dropping a weighted dart onto a coated substrate from a specified height, and the resulting damage is evaluated based on the extent of cracking, chipping, or other forms of deterioration.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ASTM D522: Standard Test Methods for Impact Resistance of Coatings

  • ISO 1520: Paints and varnishes Determination of impact resistance

  • EN 60897: Paints and varnishes Determination of the resistance to dynamic impact

  • TSE 625: Paints and coatings - Determination of the impact resistance

    • These standards provide a common framework for testing and evaluating the impact resistance of coatings on substrates, ensuring consistency and comparability across different industries and regions.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development organizations responsible for developing and maintaining ASTM D522 include:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop, maintain, and harmonize standards related to coatings and substrates.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and testing methods become available. This ensures that the standards remain relevant and effective in evaluating the performance of coatings on substrates. The update process involves:

  • Reviewing current standards for relevance and accuracy

  • Identifying areas where improvements can be made

  • Conducting research and development to address identified gaps

  • Developing new or revised standards through a collaborative effort among industry experts, regulators, and standard development organizations

    • Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following are some of the relevant standard numbers and their scope:
