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. Esch 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, govern-
mental 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.

3 Principle
A cylindrical steel weight is dropped from specified heights
through a vertically-mounted guide onto a steel ball of specified
diameter and hardness positioned on the test Panel. The degree
of darnage to the test area is assessed by reference to a descrip-
tive numerical rating Code.

1 After each test, the ball should be examined for possible deforma-
tion and if necessary replaced by an undamaged ball.
2 After completion of the tests, the application of penetrating stain or
other suitable material to the test area may assist with the identification
of surface Cracks.
Carefully examine the test area under magnifica tion and good
direct light using the following procedure.
Keeping the test area directly under the light, rock the Panel or
the light, so that the angle between the direction of the light

and the plane of the Panel varies between O” and 30°. During
the rocking movement, examine the test area using the
magnifier (4.5).
Turn the test face of the Panel through 90° and repeat the pro-
cedure. Figure 3 - Visible chan

Calculate the rating to be reported as the nearest whole number The average impact mark diameter for all five test areas shall be
to the mean of 5 individual ratings, for example: calculated and reported for each dropping height used.
a) Individual ratings : 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 NOTE - If the impact mark cannot be observed directly using the
magnifier, the boundaries of the mark are ascet-tained when illuminated
Reported rating : 3 as set forth for rating 4 in the table, using the magnifier.
b) Individual ratings : 2, 2, 2, 3, 3
Reported rating : 2
8 Test report
The average rating shall be calculated and reported for each
dropping height used. The test report shall include at least the following information :
NOTE - lt is recommended that each test area be rated by more than a) a reference to this part of ISO 4211;
one observer experienced in this type of assessment.
b) relevant data of the unit or Panel tested (Wherever
possible, the Substrate and the finishing System should be
