ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY AND AGGRESSIVE POWER OF CLEANING AGENTS

This questionnaire report was initiated on the grounds of a questionnaire answered by 19 administrations. It contains in the tables a large number of data concerning details of the cleaning agents used on the various administrations and of the methods they employ. It would, however, be premature to issue recommendations on the basis of these results and it is therefore proposed that the question be further considered with a view to the issuing of acceptance specifications, and that the search for the optimum testing methods should be continued. Special consideration should be given to the gradual introduction of new paint systems such as dispersion finished and polyurethane resin varnishes.
