This CERT specifies test methods for determining the rate at which water vapor passes through films of paint, varnish, lacquer, and other organic coatings. It provides standardized procedures to assess the water vapor transmission (WVT) characteristics of these coatings, ensuring their effectiveness and longevity in various applications.

This CERT specifies test methods for evaluating the flexibility and resistance to cracking of attached organic coatings, such as paints and varnishes, on substrates like sheet metal or rubber-type materials. By employing mandrel bend tests, it assesses a coating's ability to withstand deformation without cracking, providing essential data on its durability during manufacturing processes and in-service conditions.

This CERT outlines standardized methods for assessing the adhesion of coatings to metallic substrates using a tape test. It involves making precise cuts through the coating, applying pressure-sensitive tape, and evaluating the coating's resistance to detachment upon tape removal.

This CERT ensures compliance with stringent environmental and health standards for architectural coatings and paints. Green Wise Gold certification evaluates products for VOC (volatile organic compound) content, emissions, and environmental impact, ensuring they meet or exceed industry benchmarks for sustainability and indoor air quality.

This CERT specifies performance standards for water-based acrylic gloss paints used in professional applications, focusing on durability, aesthetic finish, and environmental compliance.

This CERT sets performance standards for alkyd-based semi-gloss paints used in professional applications, emphasizing durability, surface protection, and compliance with environmental and safety standards.
