General literature
is available from ECCA. In addition more detailed literature giving extensive
technical information and advice on how to use coil coated products along
with the range of products available can be obtained from the manufacturers
and stockists as detailed in the list of members.
NORMS AND TEST METHODS ECCA's first objective 'Setting of quality performance standards' is being achieved by the co-operation the Association has rendered and still renders to CEN and ECISS Committees in the elaboration of European Norms and specifically: EN 10169-1: 1996 Continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products- prEN 10169-2 : 1995 Continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products- EN 1396 : 1996 Aluminium and aluminium alloys coil coated sheet and strip for general applications specifications. Furthermore ECCA elaborated the following test methods, a helpful tool for those wanting to test coil coating: ECCA - T1 (1995) : COATING THICKNESS ECCA - T2 (1995) : SPECULAR GLOSS ECCA - T3 (1995) : COLOUR DIFFERENCE ECCA - T4 (1995) : PENCIL HARDNESS ECCA - T5 (1995) : RESISTANCE TO RAPID DEFORMATION ECCA - T6 (1995) : ADHESION AFTER INDENTATION ECCA - T7 (1996) : RESISTANCE TO CRACKING ON BENDING ECCA - T8 (1997) : RESISTANCE TO SALT SPRAY FOG ECCA - T9 (1996) : WATER IMMERSION RESISTANCE ECCA - T10 (1996) : RESISTANCE TO UV LIGHT ECCA - T11 (1999) : M.E.K./SOLVENT RUBBING TEST ECCA - T12 (1996) : SCRATCH RESISTANCE ECCA - T13 (1995) : ACCELERATED AGEING BY THE USE OF HEAT ECCA - T14 (1996) : MEASUREMENT OF CHALKING ECCA - T15 (1995) : METAMERISM ECCA - T16 (1999) : ABRASION RESISTANCE ECCA - T17 (1996) : DETERMINATION OF THE ADHESION OF STRIPPABLE FILMS ECCA - T18 (1995) : STAIN RESISTANCE ECCA - T19 (1996)(c) : ECCA RECOMMENDATION FOR PANEL DESIGN AND METHOD FOR ATMOSPHERIC EXPOSURE TESTING ECCA - T21 (1997)(c) : METHOD OF EVALUATION OF OUTDOOR EXPOSURE PANELS ECCA - T22 (1995) : VISUAL COMPARISON OF COLOURS ECCA - T23 (1995) : COLOUR STABILITY IN HUMID ATMOSPHERES CONTAINING SULPHUR DIOXIDE More detailed description of the test methods will be found in the ECCA web site - click on ECCA at the bottom of page 'ECCA UK GROUP'.
