This document specifies a test method for assessing the resistance of paint coatings and varnishes
(including wood stains) to separation from substrates when a right-angle lattice pattern is cut into
the coating, penetrating through to the substrate. The property determined by this empirical test
procedure depends, among other factors, on the adhesion of the coating to either the preceding coat or
the substrate. This procedure is not, however, a means of measuring adhesion.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
