Vitreous and porcelain enamels for aluminium - Determination of the adhesion of enamels on aluminium under the action of electrolytic solution (spall test) (ISO 13805:1999)
This International Standard specifies a test method for the accelerated determination of the resistance of porcelain
enamel coatings on aluminium and aluminium alloys to spalling as a result of exposure to moisture or weathering.
Because spalling is caused by the lack of adhesion between the coating and the base metal, the spall test is a test
of adhesion. The greater the extent of spalling in this test, the greater the likelihood that the article will spall in
service.
Aluminium-Emails - Bestimmung der Haftung von Aluminium-Emails unter Einwirkung von Elektrolytlösungen (ISO 13805:1999)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur beschleunigten Bestimmung der Beständigkeit von
Email-Überzügen auf Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen gegen Abplatzen durch Einwirkung von Feuchte
und Witterungseinflüssen fest. Da das Abplatzen durch mangelhafte Haftung des Überzuges auf dem
Grundmetall verursacht wird, stellt dieses Prüfverfahren eine Prüfung auf Haftung dar. Je mehr Abplatzungen
bei dieser Prüfung auftreten, desto größer die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Abplatzens des Überzuges von im
Einsatz befindlichen Gegenständen.
Émaux vitrifiés déposés sur l'aluminium - Détermination de l'adhérence à l'aide d'un électrolyte (essai d'écaillage) (ISO 13805:1999)
La présente Norme internationale spécifie une méthode d'essai pour la détermination accélérée de la résistance
des revêtements émaillés déposés sur l'aluminium et les alliages d'aluminium à l'écaillage dû à l'humidité ou aux
intempéries. L'écaillage résultant du manque d'adhérence entre le revêtement et le métal de base, l'essai
d'écaillage est un essai d'adhésion. Plus le phénomène d'écaillage constaté au cours de l'essai effectué est
important, plus le risque qu'il se reproduise en conditions réelles est grand.

Overview
EN ISO 13805:2009 specifies a standardized test method for evaluating the adhesion of vitreous and porcelain enamel coatings on aluminium and aluminium alloys. This standard is crucial for manufacturers and quality controllers who need to assess the resistance of enamel surfaces to spalling - the breaking away of the coating from the metal substrate - under conditions simulating exposure to moisture or weathering. By using the electrolytic spall test described in this standard, users can quickly determine the potential durability and lifespan of enamelled aluminium products in service, supporting both product development and quality assurance in industrial applications.
Key Topics
- Spall Test for Aluminium: The standard details an accelerated procedure to determine how well vitreous or porcelain enamel adheres to aluminium. The greater the spalling, the poorer the adhesion.
- Accelerated Adhesion Testing: Through controlled exposure to an electrolytic solution, this method simulates conditions that may cause spalling in real-life environments.
- Test Procedure Overview:
- Preparation and cleaning of enamelled aluminium specimens.
- Exposure to an antimony trichloride solution under specified conditions.
- Post-test examination for spalling, based on visible detachment and surface damage.
- Objective Measurement Criteria: Results are reported with clear criteria for quantifying damage, allowing for consistent assessment across different batches and manufacturers.
Applications
EN ISO 13805:2009 has broad practical value across multiple sectors where aluminium products require protective enamel finishes. Common applications include:
- Architectural Panels: Ensuring weather-resistant, durable surfaces for building facades.
- Domestic Appliances: Verifying adhesion for cookware, ovens, and household items subjected to temperature changes and moisture.
- Industrial Equipment: Testing enamelled components exposed to harsh chemicals or outdoor environments.
- Automotive Components: Validating the quality of coated parts that must withstand variable weather and mechanical stress.
The spall test helps manufacturers:
- Improve product lifespan by identifying weaknesses in enamel adhesion.
- Certify products for markets and applications requiring specific durability standards.
- Investigate process and material improvements in enamel or alloy selection.
Related Standards
For comprehensive quality control and testing of enamelled aluminium, EN ISO 13805:2009 is used together with other standards, including:
- ISO 13804: Guidelines for producing specimens for testing enamel coatings on aluminium.
- ISO 10141: Vocabulary and definitions related to vitreous and porcelain enamels.
- ISO 4788: Specifications for laboratory glassware used in test procedures.
- ISO 3819: Standards for laboratory beakers employed in preparing test solutions.
These standards support a unified approach to testing, reporting, and interpreting results for enamelled aluminium coatings.
By following EN ISO 13805:2009, industries benefit from internationally recognized, repeatable adhesion testing, helping to ensure the fitness and durability of vitreous and porcelain enamel coatings on aluminium, and supporting reliable performance in the most demanding environments.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 13805 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic
