Condensation water constant climate test according to AA-0213

The test is used to assess the resistance of vehicle paintwork and vehicle add-on parts to high humidity. It applies worldwide to all process partners and suppliers of the BMW Group. The sample conditioning for plastic coatings takes place for 7 days at room temperature. Sample conditioning for metal substrates is at least 2 days at room temperature.
The condensation water constant climate test is carried out according to DIN EN ISO 6270-2. Before starting the test, a cross-cut test is carried out according to AA-0180. In order to detect discolouration, staining, etc., a comparison with the zero sample is necessary. For this purpose, partial sticking is done with an adhesive tape. The test duration results from the respective product specification (Group Standard).
