1.1 This standard identifies the requirements for the complete specification of parameters necessary for the meaningful interchange of electrochemical polarization curve data files among different computer systems and laboratories.
1.2 Reliable comparisons of corrosion data from multiple sources are expedited when data are provided for as many of the listed fields as possible. When data are limited, some degree of uncertainty is present.
1.3 This standard provides a useful reference to be consulted before a corrosion test is initiated to ensure plans are made to record relevant data.
1.4 Reference should also be made to NACE SP0690, "Standard Format for Collection and Compilation of Data for Computerized Material Corrosion Resistance Database Input."1
