What is BS EN 16602-70-14- Space product assurance for corrosion about?
BS EN 16602‑70‑14 specifies the minimum requirements to qualify the materials and processes selected to provide corrosion protection. Additional testing can be performed to satisfy the requirements for materials and processes used in specific flight applications.
BS EN 16602-70-14 specifies the behaviour of metals and alloys as well as refers only to metallic materials.
BS EN 16602‑70‑14 covers typical spacecraft and launcher programs on the ground for not more than 10 years.
Note: BS EN 16602-70-14 does not remove the responsibility for the degradation of other materials such as polymers or ceramics to be considered.
Note 2: BS EN 16602-70-14 does not cover the requirements for protection against stress corrosion cracking (SCC) which has its own dedicated standard ECSS-Q-ST-70-36.
