Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
ISO 13076:2012(E)
Paints and varnishes — Lighting and procedure for visual
assessments of coatings
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the lighting and procedure for the visual assessment of degraded areas,
spots or other defects on or in coatings.
It is not applicable to the visual comparison of colour, which may be assessed using ISO 3668.
2 Principle
The panel is visually assessed under specified conditions of illumination for degraded areas, spots or other defects.
3 Apparatus
3.1 Fluorescent lamp, comprising a wide-angle light source with an aluminium-coated reflector positioned
to reflect the light downwards (see Figure 1), a colour temperature of 6 500 K and a degree of colour rendering
of 9 (corresponding to colour rendering class 1A, i.e. a colour rendering index, Ra, of 90 to 100).
NOTE
This colour temperature and colour rendering give the light colour 965.
4 Procedure for visual assessment
4.1
General
Either natural or artificial daylight may be used for routine assessments. Precisely controlled artificial lighting
shall be used for arbitration purposes, however, since the properties of natural daylight are not constant and
evaluations in natural daylight can be influenced by the surroundings.
4.2
Assessment in natural daylight
Diffuse daylight, such as that which falls from a partly cloudy sky on a north-facing test panel (south-facing in
the southern hemisphere), should preferably be used. The areas to be assessed, and the areas surrounding
them, shall be uniformly illuminated with an illuminance which shall be not less than 2 000 lx. Direct sunlight
shall be avoided.
4.3
Assessment under artificial lighting
Assess the coating under a fluorescent lamp as specified in 3.1. Hold the test panel at a distance from the lamp
such that the illuminance at the surface of the coating is not less than 750 lx (see Figure 1).
The illuminance shall be measured after setting up the fluorescent lamp.
The panel being assessed may be inclined in any direction. Degraded areas and spots can best be identified
when examined at the light/dark boundary produced by the lamp.
Assessments made for arbitration purposes shall always be carried out under artificial light.

5 Test report
When the procedure specified in this International Standard is used, the following items shall be added to the
test report for the test method standard:
a)
a reference to this International Standard (ISO 13076);
b)
an indication of the type of lighting (natural or artificial) under which the test panel was assessed, plus,
when artificial lighting was used, details of the type of light source.
