## Abstract

Reference impact-resistance test for organic coatings on metal, including powder coatings. A weighted indenter (typically 1 kg) is dropped from a calibrated height onto a coated panel; the coating is examined for cracking, chipping, or loss of adhesion. Used in QC for automotive, architectural, and industrial powder coat applications where impact resistance is specified.
