DIN EN ISO 16925:2014-06
EN ISO 16925:2014 (E)
4 Principle
The resistance of a coated test specimen to the loss of adhesive strength is tested by means of defined
pressure water-jetting.
The extent of the damage of the test specimen primarily depends on, besides the adhesive strength, the
space between nozzle and test piece, the volumetric flow rate, the test time, the geometry of the nozzle,
the impact area, the angle of impact, and the water temperature of the jet, as well as the cutting and
scribing tool.
The evaluation is carried out by means of a visual comparison of pictures, in which characteristic values
are related to the peeled-off areas.
The parting line (plane) of the peeling shall be indicated in the test report (e.g. substrate/priming coat).
5 Apparatus and materials

Ordinary laboratory apparatus, together with the following:
5.1 Pressure water-jet, consisting of a high-pressure pump and a nozzle.
A high-pressure pump conveys the water from a storage bin. To avoid influences from variations in
pressure, it is necessary that the pressure and the volumetric flow rate be adjustable at the nozzle
described below.
The water temperature shall be adjustable to ± 2 °C.
The temperature shall be adjusted in accordance with Annex A. Necessary safety devices on the pressure
side of the unit, as e.g. pressure relief valve and by-pass valve, shall exist. If the jetting is unsteady, a flow
calming section may be installed in front of the nozzle. A pulsation of the water jet at the opening of the
pump is inadmissible. In order to reach a reproducible result, the nozzle shall be solidly mechanically
fixed and the test specimen shall be secured against slipping. For the adjustment of the volumetric flow
rate, a nozzle with a jet angle of 25° and a volumetric flow rate of 6 l/min at 2 MPa (20 bar) is required
(see Annex A).
The following technical data should be attainable:
— volumetric flow rate: 8 l/min to 14 l/min
— pressure: 4 MPa (40 bar) to 13 MPa (130 bar)
— temperature: 20 °C to 80 °C
— jetting time: 10 s to 300 s
Figure 1 shows the schematic construction of a pressure water-jet apparatus which is specially built for
these tests.

5.2 Cutting or scribing tool, to be agreed by the interested parties.
The following cutting and scribing tools are appropriate: cutter knife (“C”), scribing tool according to
van Laar (“L”) or scribing tool according to Sikkens (“S”), in accordance with ISO 17872.
The tool should be safely usable.
5.3 Time measuring device (stopwatch).
6 Sampling
Take a representative sample of the product being tested in accordance with ISO 15528.
Examine and prepare each sample for testing in accordance with ISO 1513.

7 Preparation of test specimens
7.1 Test specimens

The test specimens should preferably be plane. The size of the test specimens as well as the number of
tests shall be agreed by the interested parties.
Test specimens (building components) can have different adhesive strengths. It is recommended that
different parts of the test specimen (building components) be tested.
7.2 Preparation and coating

The conditions of coating, drying/hardening, as well as stoving, shall be agreed.
Before testing, the coated test specimens shall be conditioned either 48 h at 60 °C or 7 days at room
temperature. In case of conditioning at 60 °C, the specimen shall be cooled down to room temperature
before the cut or scribe (see 8.1) is introduced.
7.3 Thickness of coating

Determine the dry film thickness of the coating, in micrometres, in accordance with one of the procedures
specified in ISO 2808.
8 Procedure
8.1 Introducing the cut or the scribe

Make sure that the test specimen is securely fastened when introducing the cut or the scribe.
Introduce both of the cuts or scribes vertically through the coating into the substrate using the cutting
or scribing tool, as shown in Figure 2. The depth of the cut or scribe into the substrate should be as
minimal as possible. The length of the first cut or scribe shall be at least 100 mm, if the geometry of the
part allows that. At an angle, introduce a second cut or scribe with a minimum length of 20 mm. The
cuts or scribes shall be introduced straight-line at an angle of approximately 30°. An automatic cutting
or scribing device may be used. Residues of the coating shall be removed from the cut or scribe.
NOTE The depth of the cut or scribe into the substrate influences the result.
The cutting or scribing tools should be checked regularly and replaced if necessary.

8.2 Testing
After inserting the test specimen into the apparatus (e.g. using a spacer block), calibrate the space
between test specimen and nozzle.
Operate the pressure water-jetting apparatus at room temperature.
Three test methods (A, B, or C – see Table 1) are preferred as well as three possible scribing tools (C, L, or
S – see 5.3 N1)). The test method to be applied, the scribing or cutting tool to be used, and the water pressure
shall be agreed.

For jetting, deionized water should be used.

When using automatic and manual devices, fasten the test specimen so that the water jet impacts as
shown in Figure 3. The jet impacts in the middle above the point of intersection onto the longer one of
both cuts/scribes.

9 Evaluation
9.1 General
Damage is recognizable when the coating loosens or flakes, regardless of which coat sustains the damage.
9.2 Evaluation with pictures to compare

Carry out the evaluation visually, comparing the specimen with the pictures.
In the course of the visual evaluation, a characteristic value is laid down by comparing with the
illustrations in Figures 4 to 9. A characteristic value between 1 and 5 results, depending on the degree
of damage. No damage corresponds to the characteristic value 0. In addition to the evaluation, if
applicable, the attribution of the separation from the main separation level or to the respective film
shall be indicated.
The result of the visual assessment is indicated in dependence of the applied method, for example:
— method A: characteristic value A;

— method B: characteristic value B;
— method C: characteristic value C.
NOTE In addition, by measuring the areas of flaking (maximum width, in millimetres, or area, in square
millimetres), the overall damage can be evaluated. The overall damage is calculated by summing up all damaged
areas of the test specimen. Even the smallest areas of flaking are measured and calculated, and all areas added to
the overall damage.
10 Precision
10.1 General
The data regarding the repeatability and reproducibility limits have been determined in an interlaboratory
test. Representatives of the automotive industry have been involved in the interlaboratory test.
The interlaboratory test aimed at determining the precision of the test method. As a standard substrate,
polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate (PC/PBT) panels were coated with coating materials
exclusively produced for this interlaboratory test. The interlaboratory test was conducted in accordance
9
DIN EN ISO 16925:2014-06
EN ISO 16925:2014 (E)
with three different methods. In this International Standard, the data relative to precision were
obtained by method A (see Table 1). The test panels were centrally produced. The St Andrew’s cross was
introduced into the coating with a defined new utility knife. Each participant conducted the testing with
his own pressure water-jetting apparatus device. The test panels were visually assessed in comparison
to the pictures (see 9.2). Also, the overall damage area was calculated (see 9.2, note).
The data relative to the repeatability limit and the reproducibility limit do not account for the influence
of the preparation of test specimens (see Clause 7).
Deviations of precision can occur due to different substrates.
10.2 Repeatability limit (r)

The repeatability limit r is the value below which the absolute difference between two test results
(each the mean of valid duplicates) can be expected to lie when this method is used under repeatability
conditions. In this case, the test results were obtained on identical material by one operator in one
laboratory within a short interval of time using the standardized test method. In this International
Standard, the repeatability limit r is one characteristic value with a preset probability of 95 %.
10.3 Reproducibility limit (R)

The reproducibility limit R is the value below which the absolute difference between two single test
results (each the mean of valid duplicates) can be expected to lie when this method is used under
reproducibility conditions. In this case, the test results are obtained on identical material by operators
in different laboratories using the standardized test method. In this International Standard, the
reproducibility limit R is two characteristic values with a preset probability of 95 %.
11 Designation
The example below shows the designation of the test method in accordance with this International
Standard.

Calibration of the test apparatus
A.1 Apparatus and materials

Ordinary laboratory apparatus, as well as the following.
A.1.1 Temperature measuring device, with sensor, capable of measuring to 0,5 °C.
A.1.2 Balance, weighing to 10 g.
A.1.3 Time measuring device (stopwatch), capable of measuring ± 0,1 s.
A.1.4 Container, for the determination of the volumetric flow rate for at least 20 l of water.
A.1.5 Plastic block, made of polystyrene rigid plastic foam.
The kind of the polystyrene rigid plastic foam shall be agreed by the interested parties.
A.1.6 Length measuring device, capable of measuring ± 0,1 mm.
A.2 Procedure
A.2.1 General
For calibration, adjust the pressure water-jet apparatus in accordance with method B (according to 8.2).
A.2.2 Calibration of water temperature

Bring the pressure water-jetting apparatus to the operating temperature and let water jet for at least
1 min. Subsequently, let water jet for 1 min into a container containing the temperature sensor. Read off
the temperature immediately. Conduct the determination in quintuplicate. The water temperature shall
remain constant during the course of the calibration.
The water temperature shall be (60 ± 2) °C.
A.2.3 Calibration of volumetric flow rate

Calibrate the volumetric flow rate, qV, in litres per minute, by differential weighing.
Determine the tare weight, m0, of the container on the balance precisely to 10 g. Adjust the pressure water-
jet apparatus in accordance with method B. Collect the water in the container entirely. Subsequently,
17
DIN EN ISO 16925:2014-06
EN ISO 16925:2014 (E)
determine the mass of the container with the water, m1, on the balance precisely to 10 g. The difference
equals the mass of the collected water, m2, as given in Formula (A.1):
m2 = m1 − m0 (A.1)
Since the water density, ρwater, is approximately equal to 1,0 g/cm3, the collected volume, Vwater, is given
by Formula (A.2):
V water ≈ m2 (A.2)
For a jetting time of 60 s (equal to 1 min), and given the relationship in Formula (A.3), it can be determined
that the collected mass m2 should equal the volumetric flow rate, expressed in litres per minute.
dV
qV = (A.3)
dt
The volumetric flow rate shall be (11,3 ± 0,2) l/min.
A.2.4 Calibration of the water jet

The conditions for the calibration of the jetting are in accordance with method B. For the calibration of
the jetting, a stainless steel precision flat film extrusion die with a volumetric flow rate of the nozzle of
6 l/min at 2 MPa (20 bar) and a jet angle 25° is used. This nozzle is required to produce an even liquid
distribution during the entire jetting.
When using an automatic pressure-water apparatus, fasten the polystyrene rigid plastic foam in the
apparatus so that the jet cannot move the block. When using a manual apparatus, fasten the block in a
similar fixture.
After jetting, the length and the width of the impact are measured. See Figure A.1.
The mean length of the impact shall be (73 ± 5) mm and the mean width (8 ± 1) mm on average.

DIN EN ISO 16925:2014-06
EN ISO 16925:2014 (E)
Additionally, the homogeneity of the jetting is assessed visually. The jetting shall be evenly deep and
straight. Frayed edges and sinuous lines are not acceptable and suggest uneven pressure (see Figure A.2).
