GB24409-2009 Automobile Coatings Testing
Project Introduction
GB24409-2009 is the national standard for the limit of harmful
substances in automobile coatings. GB24409-2009 "Limit of Harmful
Substances in Automobile Coatings" was issued on September 30, 2009
and implemented on June 1, 2010. Its purpose is to reduce the harm
of automobile coatings to human health and pollution to the
environment. It is the need of today's environmental protection and
a concrete manifestation of the development towards an
environmentally friendly society. The implementation of this
mandatory standard effectively reduces the emission of volatile
organic compounds (VOC) during automobile painting, strictly
controls the use of highly toxic chemicals such as benzene, glycol
ethers, heavy metals, etc., and plays an important role in
protecting the environment and human health.
The standard specifies the requirements, test methods, inspection
rules, packaging marks, coating safety and protection for the
allowable limit of harmful substances to the human body and the
environment in original coatings, repair coatings and component
coatings for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, trailers, and
automobile trains. It is applicable to all types of automobile
coatings except putty and special functions. Special functional
coatings include PP water, anti-stone impact coatings, and bridging
water. Dacromet coatings are not suitable for this standard. The
entire content of the standard is mandatory.
The standard divides automotive coatings into two categories: Class
A solvent-based coatings, which are further divided into
thermoplastic, one-component cross-linking, and two-component
cross-linking; Class B is water-based coatings (including
electrophoretic coatings), powders, and light-curing coatings.
Test method
6.2.1 The test of volatile organic compound content (VOC) shall be
carried out in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A of this
standard.
6.2.2 The test of restricted solvents in solvent-based coatings
shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Appendix
B of this standard.
6.2.3 The test of restricted solvents in water-based coatings shall
be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Appendix C of
this standard.
6.2.4 The test of heavy metals (Pb, Cd and Hg) shall be carried out
in accordance with the provisions of Appendix D of this standard.
6.2.5 The test of heavy metals (C+) shall be carried out in
accordance with the provisions of Appendix E of this standard.
