The ISO 1513:2010 standard specifies inspection and prepative procedures for samples of coatings and varnishes. The standard includes an initial inspection process for individual samples, as well as a sample prepative process to represent bulk products by mixing and reducing. Major updates include a definition clause for terms, the removal of specific screening requirements, and an update of normative references. ISO 1513 was developed by ISO/TC 35 Technical Committee and deals with common test methods in the field of paints and varnishes. The purpose of the standard is to ensure that the prepative process for testing samples meets uniform standards to guarantee accuracy and comparability of test results.
