This British Standard specifies requirements for the properties and general composition of black tar-based paints. The standard is restricted to paints for cold application, based on coal tars and steam cracker tar or blends of these but not containing pigments or extenders. It does not include emulsions, stoving paints or paints designed solely for application by dipping.
Two types of paint, type A and type B, differing in their rates of drying, are specified.
