Hello Michael,
To my recollection, UL has a Recognition program for coatings. I believe
a Recognition Report would describe the coating, the application process
and the allowed substrate/s. Testing of the coating on your product would
consist of scratching the surface, and submitting the parts to a "shake
and bake" test procedure to determine the integrity of the coating. In
my experience, CSA has similar requirements.
Check the 1996 UL Plastics Recognized Component Directory, Guide QMRX2,
Page 689 and onward and QMSS2, Page 739 and onward for details.
Regards, Art Michael, Editor
