About This Item
TS EN ISO 16348 is a terminology standard focused on how appearance is defined, described and used consistently for metallic and other inorganic coatings. Its value lies in giving the coatings field a common language for visual characteristics, rather than prescribing the coating performance itself.
How appearance-related terminology is organised
In coating technology, terms such as colour, gloss, uniformity, texture, mottling, streaking and visible defects can carry different meanings depending on the product and its intended use. In general technical context, appearance is not just a cosmetic issue; it is part of how a coated surface is specified, inspected and accepted. This standard addresses that communication need by aligning the terminology used to talk about appearance.
ISO 16348:2003 also outlines the principles involved in validating appearance when appearance is specified as a requirement for a metallic or other inorganic coating. In practical terms, it supports a shared framework for discussing and checking visual attributes, without setting numeric limits or detailed test procedures for a particular coating type. That makes it useful wherever consistent appearance description is needed between manufacturers, customers and inspection personnel.
