Salt spray corrosion tests on automotive components
The automotive industry has standardised several salt spray corrosion tests and surface analysis to provide reliable and performant products.
Test conditions vary with the manufacturer’s specifications, which is why nearly 50% of our offering is dedicated to the technical standards of major OEMs, including BMW, DAF, Ford, General Motors, Hyundai / KIA, Jaguar / Land Rover, MAN, Mercedes, Peugeot / Citroën, Porsche, Renault, Scania, Thule, Volkswagen and Volvo.
Salt spray corrosion tests and surface analysis on coatings
The most common test methods used for product qualification and quality control of paints, varnishes and metal coatings are divided into salt spray corrosion tests, moisture, condensation and immersion resistance, chemical and temperature resistance.
After the environmental tests, coatings are inspected to assess their degradation, integrity, adhesion and hardness, measure their thickness, or conduct other performance tests.
Salt spray corrosion test list
The test list is continuously increasing and we try to adapt to your needs and to maintain the highest level of service.

Corrosion tests IKEA and on furniture hinges
Proton Technology is the only European laboratory acknowledged by IKEA to perform salt spray corrosion tests and surface analysis according to the IOS-MAT-0002 and IOS-MAT-0066 specifications. These tests must be regularly carried out by suppliers at least once per year.
As for IKEA products, furniture hinges should also meet specific durability and corrosion resistance requirements as stated by ISO 6270-2.
Salt spray tests on building hardware
The standard EN 1670 specifies the requirements for the corrosion resistance of building hardware for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling.
Salt spray corrosion tests and surface analysis are required by the harmonized standards to REG 305/2011 (Construction Products) and are to be performed on products such as emergency exit devices, single-axis hinges, locks and latches.
Environmental tests on electrical parts
The harmonized standards regarding luminaires dictate to evaluate the resistance to rapid changes in temperature in compliance with IEC 60068-2-14.
Other electrical and electronic components such as alarm systems, connectors, optical fibre cables, etc. may require environmental testing, especially if they are to be installed in a marine environment. In addition, hand-held motor-operated electric tools can also be tested to salt spray corrosion resistance according to the specifications of OEMs such as Husqvarna, Stihl and many others.
Salt spray tests on household appliances
The IEC 60068-2 series of standards identifies procedures for evaluating the corrosion resistance of components, equipment and materials used in the manufacture of household appliances.
Salt spray corrosion tests and surface analysis are important for those products intended to be used outdoors or in a marine environment, such as onboard ships and boats.
Environmental tests on solar panels
Renewable energy production systems based on photovoltaic modules are a rapidly growing market sector.
Since photovoltaic modules are intended for long-term outdoor operation, their durability to cold and dry heat must be verified with environmental tests.
The tests apply to all types of photovoltaic modules (both silicon and thin-film), whether flat, concentrating systems pr assemblies.
