This International Standard defines
terms used in the field of
coating materials (paints, varnishes
and raw materials for paints
and varnishes).
Terms relating to specific applications
and properties are dealt with
in standards concerning those
applications and properties, e.g.
corrosion protection, coating powders.
In addition to terms in English and
French (two of the three official
ISO languages), this International
Standard gives the equivalent
terms in German; these are published
under the responsibility of
the member body for Germany
(DIN). However, only the terms
and definitions given in the official
languages can be considered as
ISO terms and definitions.
NOTE Those terms that are defined
elsewhere in the standard are shown
in bold type.
