The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right t o be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and nongovernmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The main task of technical committees is t o prepare International Standards, but i n this case an Informative Supplement to ISO8501-1 has been published. This Informative Supplement was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee 12, Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products.

The principal factors that are known to influence this performance are: a) the presence of rust and mill scale; b) the presence of surface contaminants, including salts, dust, oils and greases; c) the surface profile. International Standards I S 0 8501, I S 0 8502 and I S 0 8503 have been prepared to provide methods of assessing these factors, while I S 0 8504 provides guidance on the preparation methods that are available for cleaning COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services 1 m 4853903 Ob34433 602 m IS0 8501-1:1988/S~ppl:1994(E) steel substrates, indicating the capabilities of each in attaining specified levels of cleanliness. These International Standards do not contain recommendations for the protective coating systems t o be applied to the steel surface. Neither do they contain recommendations for the surface quality requirements for specific situations even though surface quality can have a direct influence on the choice of protective coating to be applied and on its performance. Such recommendations are found i n other documents such as national standards and codes of practice. It will be necessary for the users of these International Standards to ensure that the qualities specified are: - compatible and appropriate both for the environmental conditions to which the steel will be exposed and for the protective coating system to be used; - within the capability of the cleaning procedure specified. The four International Standards referred to above deal with the following aspects of preparation of steel substrates: I S 0 8501 - Visual assessment of surface cleanliness; I S 0 8502 - Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness; I S 0 8503 - Surface roughness characteristics of blast-cleaned steel substrates; IS0 8504 - Surface preparation methods. Each of these International Standards is in turn divided into separate parts. I S 0 8501-1:1988, Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products - Visual assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 7: Rust grades and preparation grades of uncoated steel substrates and of steel substrates after overall removal of previous coatings, provides written specifications and representative photographic examples of a number of rust grades and preparation grades. Fourteen of these photographic examples, A Sa 2% to D Sa 3, show steel surfaces that have been subjected to dry blast-cleaning with abrasives containing quartz sand. 2 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services 4 8 5 3 9 0 3 Ob34432 5 4 9 IS0 8501-1:1988/S~ppl:1994(E) The basis o f this Informative Supplement is that many different abrasives are used for blast-cleaning. Since some abrasive remains impacted on a blast-cleaned surface, the colour o f the abrasive affects the appearance of the surface. Generally, the use of dark-coloured abrasives, such as copper refinery or coal furnace slags, will result in an overall darker, duller appearance than if sand is used. Some hard, metallic abrasives, although themselves not coloured black, will also create a darker appearance due t o the shadows formed by the deep-sided pitting on the blast-cleaned surface. In addition, the use of quartz sand as an abrasive is subject t o a number of prohibitive regulations in many countries and its use for the photographic representations in IS0 8501-1:1988 should not be taken as general approval for its use. This Informative Supplement provides representative photographic examples of mild steel of rust grade C, blast-cleaned t o preparation grade Sa 3, using six different (metallic and non-metallic) abrasives that are i n common use. For comparison, a photographic representation of the original steel surface, ¡.e. the surface before preparation, is also included.

Record the assessment as the grade nearest in appearance to that of the steel surface. If the appearance of the surface to be assessed is different from that illustrated in ISO8501-1 use the examples given in this Informative supplement as a guide to the change in colour depth and tone that may be due to the abrasive used to prepare the surface. The examples illustrated in this Informative Supplement meet the written descriptions of I S 0 8501-1, preparation grade Sa 3. In all cases, compliance shall be assessed against the written descriptions for the preparation grades given i n I S 0 8501-1. NOTE2 ISO8501-1 gives a written description of the surface appearance after the cleaning operation together with representative photographic examples. 4 Photographs The representative photographic examples given i n this Informative Supplement have been prepared by blast-cleaning mild steel of rust grade C to preparation grade Sa 3, as specified in IS0 8501-1, with six different abrasives that are in common use. A photograph of the original steel surface is included for visual comparison purposes. The abrasives were chosen to provide a "Medium" surface profile as described in I S 0 8503-2. The photograph was obtained by progressively masking a single mild-steel plate into strips and blast-cleaning the rust gradeC surface thus exposed with a different abrasive for each strip to preparation grade Sa 3. Care was taken to protect previously prepared strips when blast-cleaning other strips. The plate was photographed shortly after completion of the blast-cleaning in order to avoid deterioration of the freshly prepared surfaces. 5 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services m 4853703 Ob34435 258 IS0 8501-1:1988/Suppl:1994(E) The photograph illustrates the differences in surface appearance, including colour, that are obtained when the same substrate is prepared by blastcleaning with different abrasive materials to the same preparation grade. The photograph illustrates the surface appearance typically obtained using each abrasive under the conditions described above but it should be noted that variations may be obtained in practice. The high-carbon cast-steel shot abrasive used was of grade S 100 as specified in I S 0 11124-3. The chilled-iron grit abrasive was i n accordance with grade G 070 of I S 0 11124-2. The two steel grit abrasives were in accordance with grade G 070 of I S 0 11124-3. Their hardnesses, determined by the method described in I S 0 11125-3, are stated in the captions t o the relevant parts of the photograph. Copper refinery slag and coal furnace slag abrasives are specified in IS0 11126-3 and IS0 11126-4 respectively. 6 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services Original mild-steel plate Rust grade C High-carbon cast-steel shot Grade S 100 Vickers hardness 390 HV t o 530 HV Steel grit Grade G 070 Vickers hardness 390 HV t o 530 HV Steel grit Grade G 070 Vickers hardness 700 HV to 950 HV Chilled-iron grit Grade G 070 Copper refinery slag Coal furnace slag Figure 1 - Layout and sequence of the appended representative photographic examples 7 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services 4851903 0634437 0 2 0 8 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services 4851703 OhL442b 2 4 5 = ;ISOi IS0 8501=1:1994 - Informative Supplement Supplément informatif ~HCI)OPMaUMOHHOe ~OnOJlHeHMe 1994-12-15 E * __ - .- Q IS0 1994 All rights reserved.

Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness; Each of these International Standards is in turn divided into separate parts. This part of IS0 8501 identifies four levels (designated as "rust grades") of mill scale and rust that are commonly found on surfaces of uncoated erected steel and steel held in stock. It also identifies certain degrees of visual cleanliness (designated as "preparation grades") after surface preparation of uncoated steel surfaces and of steel surfaces after overall removal of any previous coating. These levels of visual cleanliness are related to the common methods of surface cleaning that are used prior to painting. This part of IS0 8501 is intended to be a tool for visual assessment of rust grades and of preparation grades. It includes 28 representative photographic examples. NOTES 1 Twenty-four of the photographs originate from the Swedish standard SIS 05 59 00-1967, Pictorial surface preparation standards for painting steel surfaces, which is superseded by this part of I S 0 8501 (see annex A). The other four photographs originate from the German standard DIN 55 928, Part 4, Supplement 1 (August 19781, Protection of stee/structures from corrosion by organic and metallic coatings; preparation and testing of surfaces; photographic standards. Originally SIS 05 59 O0 was developed by the Swedish Corrosion Institute in co-operationwith the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC), USA. There are a number of national standards based on SIS 05 59 00, such as DIN 55928, Part 4 (19771, TGL 18730/02 (19771, DS 2019 (19671, AS 1627, Part 9-1974, ASTM D 2200-67 (1980) and SSPC-Vis 1-82 T. In addition, there are other standards that have a similar layout, for example JSRA SPSS-1975, but which are less widely used and therefore were not taken into account. The reasons for adopting the essential elements of follows : a) SIS 05 59 00, including its format, are as SIS 05 59 O0 is already used on a world-wide scale; .. b) the creation of a completely new set of photographs would be costly and would not necessarily introduce any corresponding improvements; c) previous and current documents relating to this established system of rust grades and preparation grades could continue to be used in the future without amendment and without confusion; d) the A5 (pocket) size is convenient to handle and to refer to on site. This part of I S 0 8501 represents a slight extension of earlier editions of SIS 05 59 O0 in that it is applicable also to surfaces that show residues of adhering paint and other foreigr; matter in addition to mill scale and rust. ~ 2 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services ' ô501 P T 1 - B B .-- .

Annex J : Chinese (CSBS) i Scope and field of application This part of IS0 8501 specifies a series of rust grades and preparation grades of steel surfaces (see clauses 3 and 4, respectively). The various grades are defined by written descriptions together with photographs that are representative examples within the tolerance for each grade as described in words. It is applicable to hot-rolled steel surfaces prepared for painting by methods such as blast-cleaning, hand and power tool cleaning and flame cleaning, although these methods rarely lead to comparable results. Essentially, these methods are intended for hot-rolled steel, but blast-cleaning methods, in particular, could also be used on coldrolled steel of sufficient thickness to withstand any deformation caused by the impact of the abrasive or the effects of power tool cleaning, This part of IS0 8501 is applicable also to steel substrates that show residues of firmly adhering paint and other foreign matter (see note 2 to 4.1) in addition t o residual mill scale. ..i,., I . .. NOTE - The preparation grades of previously painted steel surfaces after only localized removal of paint coatings form the subject of IS0 8501-2. - . r It relates the cleanliness of the surface to its visual appearance. In many instances, this is sufficient for the purpose but for coatings likely to be exposed to severe environments, such as water immersion and continuous condensation conditions, consideration should be given to testing for soluble salts and other invisible contaminants on the visually clean surface by .the physical and chemical methods which form the subjects of the various parts of IS0 8502. The roughness characteristics of the sudace should also be considered by reference io IS0 8503. 3 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services - .

The photographs are designated by the original rust grade before cleaning and the designation of the preparation grade, for example B Sa 2 b . NOTES 1 The term "foreign matter" used in 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 may include water-soluble salts and welding residues. These contaminants cannot be completely removed from the surface by dry blast-cleaning, hand and power tool cleaning or flgme cleaning; wet blast-cleaning should be used. 2 Mill scale, rust or a paint coating is considered to be poorly adhering if it can be removed by lifting with a blunt putty knife. - 4.2 Blast-cleaning, Sa Surface preparation by blast-cleaning is designated by the letters "Sa". Prior to blast-cleaning, any heavy layers of rust shall be removed by chipping. Visible oil, grease and dirt shall also be removed. After blast-cleaning, the surface shall be cleaned from loose dust and debris. I NOTE - For descriptions of surface preparation methods by blast-cleaning, including treatment prior to, and after, the blast-cleaning procedure, see I S 0 8504-2. Sa I Light blast-cleaning When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from poorly adhering mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter (see note 2 to 4.1). See photographs B Sa 1, C Sa 1 and D Sa 1. Sa 2 Thorough blast-cleaning When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from most of the mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. Any residual contamination shall be firmly adhering (see note 2 to 4.1). See photographs B Sa 2, C Sa 2 and D Sa 2. Sa 21/2 d Very thorough blast-cleaning When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter.

See photographs A Sa 3, B Sa 3, C Sa 3 and D Sa 3. 4.3 Hand and power tool cleaning, St Surface preparation by hand and power tool cleaning, such as scraping, wirebrushing, machine-brushing and grinding, is designated by the letters "St". Prior to hand and power tool cleaning, any heavy layers of rust shall be removed by chipping. Visible oil, grease and dirt shall also be removed. After hand and power tool cleaning, the surface shall be cleaned from loose dust and debris, NOTES 1 For descriptions of surface preparation methods by hand and power tool cleaning, including treatment prior to, and after, the hand and power tool cleaning procedure, see I S 0 8504-3. 2 Preparation grade S t 1 is not included as it would correspond to a surface unsuitable for painting. St 2 Thorough hand and power tool cleaning When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from poorly adhering mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter (see note 2 to 4.1). See photographs B St 2, C St 2 and D St 2. St 3 Very thorough hand and power tool cleaning As for St 2, but the surface shall be treated much more thoroughly to give a metallic sheen arising from the metallic substrate. See photographs B St 3, C St 3 and D St 3. 4.4 Flame cleaning, FI Surface preparation by flame cleaning is designated by the letters "FI", NOTE - Flame cleaning includes final power tool wire-brushing to remove the products of the cleaning process; hand wire-brushing does not achieve a satisfactory surface for painting. 6 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services IT r .

FI Flame cleaning When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. Any remaining residues shall show only as a discoloration of the surface (shades of different colours). See photographs A FI, B FI, C FI and D FI. 5 Procedure for visual assessment of steel substrates Either in good diffuse daylight or in equivalent artificial illumination, examine the steel surface and compare it with each of the photographs (see clause 61, using normal vision. Place the appropriate photograph close to, and in the plane of, the steel surface to be assessed. For rust grades, record the assessment as the worst grade that is evident. For preparation grades, record the assessment as that grade nearest in appearance to that of the steel surface. NOTES 1 In addition t o the type of cleaning method used, for example dry blast-cleaning using a particular type of abrasive, the following factors can influence the result of the visual assessment : a) initial state of the steel surface other than any of the standard rust grades A, B, C and D; b) colour of the steel itself; c) regions of differing roughness, resulting from differential corrosion attack or uneven removal of material; surface irregularities such as dents; marks from tools; uneven lighting; shadowing of the surface profile caused by angled projection of abrasive; embedded abrasives. 2 For previously painted surfaces that have been prepared for renewed painting, only photographs with rust grade designations D or C (for example : D Sa 2V2 or C Sa 21/21 may be used for the visual assessment. The choice (for example between D Sa 2V2 and C Sa 21/21 depends on the degree of pitting. 7 COPYRIGHT International Organization for Standardization Licensed by Information Handling Services I S 0 8501-1 : 1988 (E) 6 Photographs Twenty-eight representative photographic examples for comparison with steel substrates are appended. These photographs, which are not magnified, are copies that have been reproduced by a special technique whereby the colour print is applied to the back of plastics sheets. To prevent the specimens from being scratched, paper leaves have been inserted between the plastics sheets. For ease of manufacture, the plastics sheets do not carry page numbers. For convenience in use, the photographs are displayed in the order shown in the figure. Four photographs relate specifically to the rust grades A, B, C and D (see clause 3). Twenty-four photographs, A Sa 2V2 to D FI, relate specifically to the preparation grades obtained by dry blast-cleaning, by hand and power tool cleaning, and by flame cleaning (see clause 4). Other methods, such as wet blast-cleaning, produce surfaces that may differ in appearance, colour, etc., but the photographs can still be used to give an indication of the preparation grade. Fourteen photographs, A Sa 2V2 to D Sa 3, show steel surfaces that have been subjected t o dry blast-cleaning with abrasives containing quartz sand. The use of such abrasives in enclosed areas is prohibited in many countries except under strictly controlled conditions. Therefore abrasives of other types (and hence colour) are often used for dry blast-cleaning. These abrasives may produce a different surface appearance, even after meticulous cleaning of the blast-cleaned surface. There are no photographs representing A Sa 1, A Sa 2, A St 2 or A St 3 because these preparation grades are not achievable and the existing photographs are sufficiently indicative.
