This part of ISO 4628 specifies a method suitable, in particular, for rating the degree of chalking on white or coloured exterior coatings and coating systems on rough surfaces (i.e. those having a
roughness greater than segment 4 of the reference comparator G as described in ISO 8503-1).
The test method specified can also be used for the assessment of the degree of chalking of coatings and coating systems on smooth surfaces, but the method specified in ISO 4628-6:2011 is preferable for this purpose.
The test method is applicable to coatings and coating systems on mineral substrates, e.g. fibre cement,
brick, concrete, and renderings, independent of the structure of the surface. The method can be used
quite effectively by experienced operators and is recommended for laboratory use as well as for onsite
evaluation.
