Classification of Cross Hatch Test Results
Surface
Typical description of result
The edges of the cuts are completely smooth, none of the squares of the lattice is detached.
ISO: 0
ASTM: 5B
Detachment of small flakes of the coating at the intersections of the cuts. A cross cut area not significantly greater than 5%, is affected.
ISO: 1
ASTM: 4B
The coating has flaked along the edges and/or at the intersections of the cuts. A cross cut area significantly greater than 5%, but not significantly greater than 15%, is affected.ISO: 2
ASTM: 3B
The coating has flaked along the edges of the cuts partly or wholly in large ribbons, and/or it has flaked partly or wholly on different parts of the squares. A cross cut area significantly greater than 15%, but not significantly greater than 35%, is affected.
ISO: 3
ASTM: 2B
The coating has flaked along the edges of the cuts in large ribbons and/or some squares have detached partly or wholly. A cross cut area significantly greater than 35%, but not significantly greater than 65%, is affected.
ISO: 4
ASTM: 1B
Any degree of flaking that cannot be classified even by classification 4 (1B).
ISO: 5
ASTM: 0B
