Overview

For many materials, the chemical composition can serve as a basis for a specification. This is not possible for chemical enamels because the composition is tied very closely to the specific enamelling technique and is therefore not disclosed by the manufacturer for competitive reasons. In order to ascribe measurable attributes to an enamel besides its general designation, the manufacturer conducts standardized tests and specifies its enamel in terms of the resulting resistance to corrosion and thermal shock, together with a declaration of the structure of the cover coat enamel and the colour of the enamel. This document (EN ISO 28721-2:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107 "Metallic and other inorganic coatings" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 262 "Metallic and other inorganic coatings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-01-63 AA "Prüfung von Emails und Emaillierungen" ("Testing of vitreous and porcelain enamels") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
