Provides a procedure for determining the performance of marine underwater paint systems exposed to a marine environment.

This Standards sets out a procedure for assessing the performance of marine underwater paint systems exposed, under static conditions, to a marine environment as defined by this Standard. It provides for the determination of-(a) protection of the substrate from deterioration and corrosion with or without cathodic protection, and(b) durability and resistance to fouling of paint systems applied to the abovementioned substrates.
