Remarks PT SOUTH QUALITY SAS (Buenos Aires, Argentina) operates this interlaboratory comparison scheme in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043. Statistical evaluation of results follows ISO 13528. The scheme is intended for laboratories that evaluate paints and coatings resistance to humidity and water (condensation, water fog, immersion and 100 % RH), including laboratories working under ISO/IEC 17025. Since its launch in 2008, the scheme has been organised annually without interruption. Over this period, more than 60 laboratories from 26 countries have participated, making each ILC exercise part of a long-standing series of comparable international results.
