After agreement, a magnifying glass with a magnification of 6 times to 10 times can be used to evaluate defects. If a magnifying glass is used, this shall be indicated in the report. It is determined that a defect of some type as defined in Clause 9 has occurred. The pencil hardness of the paint film is expressed as the hardness of the hardest pencil that does not cause defects in the paint film.

9 Type of Defect

Scratching the paint film surface with a pencil lead will produce a series of defects on the paint film surface.

10 Precision

No precision data available.
