Appendix
A Tests for durability of colour enamels
Establishes a system of coding, for one-mark pipettes for identification of capacities, and for graduated pipettes for identification of capacities and units of subdivision. Test methods are described for the assessment of the service performance of the enamels, in terms of whether an enamel will withstand attack under the test conditions. Covers references, colour coding, durability and tables.

1.1 This British Standard provides a system of coding, by means of coloured bands, for one-mark pipettes for identification of nominal capacities, and for graduated pipettes for identification of nominal capacities and units of subdivision.
1.2 Test methods are described for the assessment of the service performance of the enamels, in terms of whether an enamel will withstand attack under the test conditions described in Appendix A. However, the enamels are not classified by degree of resistance.
