Further, the real atmospheric condition at subclause 10.6 Corrosion resistance test is changed to the atmospheric condition in Japan (high temperature and high humidity). 1 Scope This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies the electroplated coatings of gold and gold alloy of 0.2 pm or over in thickness of the significant surface (here- after referred to as “electroplated coatings”) conducted on metallic and nonmetallic basis materials for engineering purposes (1). Note (1) The engineering purposes herein mean the functional applications in elec- trical, electronic, mechanical and other fields, each of which requires a particular performance of the product. Remarks 1 This Standard shall apply only to formed parts. 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard is as fol- lows: IS0 4523 : 1985 Metallic coatings-Electrodeposited gold and gold alloy coatings for engineering purposes 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this Standard, constitute provisions of this Standard. The most recent editions of the standards indicated below shall be applied.

Remarks : After the solder wetting test of electroplated coatings, the bending test of the adhesion test in 1 0 . 7 is carried out, and there shall be neither scaly scatterings nor peeling off of the soldered part.
