This workshop is motivated by the industry need to identify and clarify the performance criteria of paint and coating systems for defence and security applications. There are numerous international, European, and national paint standards, but they do not take account of military constraints, which are different from those in the civilian sector. This is especially true of testing and performances criteria for land, air, and naval weapons.
CEN and CENELEC published a new Position Paper to respond to the Action Plan presented by the European Commission on synergies between civil, defence and space industries.
