METHOD

1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out the method for determining the resistance of roof tiles to salt attack.
It also includes information helpful for judging the resistance to salt attack, particularly
when there are inadequate records of the behaviour of the product when exposed to actual
weathering conditions.

2 PRINCIPLE
Specimens cut from roof tiles are subjected to cycles of soaking in salt solution, oven-
drying and cooling. When particle losses occur, the total mass of the particles lost from
each specimen is determined by weighing.
A1 A sample is considered to be salt attack resistant when no test specimen has a total mass
loss of particles of more than the allowable mass loss as specified in AS 2049.
The resistance of the sample against the action of sodium chloride is to be determined, with
a 14% solution of sodium chloride.
A1 NOTE: Sodium chloride is more representative of the sea air salt and, therefore, is the appropriate
solution for testing roof tiles.
