This document outlines voluntary specifications for corrosion resistant coatings on carbon steel components used for hardware in windows and doors. It specifies requirements for cadmium plated, zinc plated, and nickel & chrome plated coatings, and provides more stringent testing requirements for other coatings not covered. Coatings must pass adhesion and corrosion resistance tests to ensure they withstand exposure for 300 hours without corrosion exceeding specifications. The document references relevant AAMA and ASTM standards for testing adhesion, corrosion resistance, and coating specifications.
