ICS 87 is a classification code in the International Classification for Standards (ICS) system. It covers "PAINT AND COLOUR INDUSTRIES". The ICS is a hierarchical classification system used to organize international, regional, and national standards, facilitating the search and identification of standards across different fields.
There are 4770 standards classified under ICS 87 (PAINT AND COLOUR INDUSTRIES). These standards are published by international and regional standardization bodies including ISO, IEC, CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI.
The International Classification for Standards (ICS) is a hierarchical classification system maintained by ISO to organize standards and related documents. It uses a three-level structure with field (2 digits), group (3 digits), and sub-group (2 digits) codes. The ICS helps users find standards by subject area and enables statistical analysis of standards development activities.

This document specifies sample preparation methods to determine the size distribution of separate particles of a single pigment or extender, which is dispersed in a liquid by application of a standardized dispersion procedure, using an ultrasonic device, shaker device or wet jet mill.
The sample preparation methods described are optimized for measurements carried out with a particle sizing technique based on sedimentation. This technique relies on particle migration due to gravitation or centrifugal forces and requires a density contrast between the particles and the liquid phase.

ISO 29601:2011 specifies procedures for detecting the presence of porosity in a protective paint system of any thickness on a steel or other metallic substrate. The procedures given are based on methods using two different types of test equipment, the choice of equipment depending on the dry film thickness. These procedures are only applicable to the testing of electrically non-conductive parts of a paint system.
The test methods specified are mainly intended for use with new coatings, but can also be used for coatings which have been in service for some time. In the latter case, it is important to bear in mind that the coating might have been penetrated by substances in contact with the coating during service.

This document specifies a method to measure ice adhesion from artificial ice on test substrates by using a centrifuge. Basic ice types are defined and test parameters for the ice removal are described to achieve reproducibility of test results for ice adhesion measurements for rotor blade coatings. This document does not intend to provide fixed test parameter to account for the diversity of relevant icing scenarios in this field of application.
NOTE In practice, ice adhesion can be determined by two different measurement principles, the centrifugal test (covered in this document) and the shear test, which differ in dynamic and quasistatic shear rates.
This test method can be used to test the adhesion of dynamic ice on the coating system of a wind turbine rotor blade under operation.

IEC 62899-203-2:2025 specifies a method to measure the values of effective charge carrier mobility in printed semiconductive layers using space charge limited current (SCLC) mobility technique. The method described is intended to be used as a benchmark test to allow reproducible measurements at a given temperature of the apparent charge carrier mobility for comparison with devices that use different materials, material formulations and fabrication processes for a planar configuration. This document specifies the sample and equipment requirements, and describes the measurement technique, the data analysis procedure and the reporting protocol.
This document is suitable to test unipolar devices (i.e. hole-only or electron-only), where charge injection is efficient and where series resistance does not dominate the current-voltage curve. Therefore, it cannot be used for testing high-electron mobility devices where electron injection can be problematic, for testing highly doped materials where space charge limited current does not exist, or to evaluate mobility in applications that require lateral charge transport, such as in transistors.
