ASTM D16 : 23

Standard Terminology for Paint, Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications

Standard Details

1.1 This standard consists of technical terms used in StandardDetails under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 (on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications), and of definitions suitable for use in these StandardDetails.

Note 1: When any definition in this StandardDetails is quoted or published out of the context of this standard, editorially insert the following delimiting statement “for paints and related coatings, materials, and applications” after the dash following the term (in the absence of an existing delimiting statement). This will limit the filed of application of the term and definition to that approved by this committee.

1.2 In this terminology standard, definitions used in other ASTM StandardDetails are indicated by following the definition with the designation of that standard. In some cases, a relevant D01 subcommittee is also listed. Definitions influenced by those used by other organizations are indicated by the acronym of the organization. Primary terms are given in bold, while narrower and unapproved terms are given in italics.

1.3 There are several specialized terminology StandardDetails under the jurisdiction of Committee D01, as follows: D804, D1695, D6440, D6488, and D7188. Few definitions from those StandardDetails are included in Terminology D16. Therefore, in searches for definitions of paints and coatings terms, these StandardDetails should be included where appropriate.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International StandardDetails, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
