This International Standard de-fines terms used in the field of coating materials (paints, varn-ishes and raw materials for paints and varnishes). Terms relating to specific applica-tions and properties are dealt with in standards concerning those applications and properties, e.g. corrosion protection, coating pow-ders. In addition to terms in English and French (two of the three official ISO languages), this International Standard gives the equivalent terms in German; these are pub-lished under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms and definitions given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms and definitions. NOTE Those terms that are defined elsewhere in the standard are shown in bold type.
