PREFACE

This Handbook was prepared by Standards Australia to provide practitioners in the paint

industry with a compact reference containing most Australian Standards andAustralian/New Zealand Standards dealing with paints and related materials.

The Handbook, in four convenient volumes, collects together almost 190 Australian and

Australian/New Zealand Standards dealing with paint application, paint testing and paint

products. The Handbook of Australian Paint Standards is divided into a number of parts

including:

Part 1: General

Part 2: Test methods

Part 3: Industrial paints

Part 4: Architectural paints

This Part 2 contains the 100 test methods constituting the AS and AS/NZS 1580 series and

those of the AS 3894 series of site test methods for paints and coatings. Each of the current

Standards has been reproduced and, where necessary, updated to incorporate amendments

issued since the original publication of the document.

At the time of preparation of this Handbook, several of the Standards included in it were

under consideration for possible revision and may be revised with the next 12 months.
