Scope
GB/T 20854-2025 is the English-translated version of 金属和合金的腐蚀 循环暴露在盐雾、“干”和“湿”条件下的加速试验.
GB/T 20854-2025 describes an accelerated corrosion test in which specimens are cycled through neutral salt spray, a dry stage and a wet stage to imitate outdoor exposure in salt-laden air.
It fixes the test solution and its sodium chloride, the chamber and spray equipment, how specimens are held and positioned, the conditions of each step in Table 1, the continuity of the run, the handling of specimens afterwards and the report, while normative Appendices C and D cover organic-coating specimens.
It suits metals and alloys, anodic and cathodic metallic coatings, conversion and anodic oxide coatings and organic coatings on metal, but neither specimen type nor exposure time is fixed and the results are comparative only.
Corrosion laboratories use it. Identical to ISO 14993:2018, it replaces GB/T 20854-2007, was issued on 25 April 2025 and applies from 1 November 2025.

Introduction
Whether protected or not, the corrosion of metal materials is affected by many environmental factors, which mainly depend on the type of metal material and the type of environment.
When designing a laboratory accelerated corrosion test, it is impossible to consider all environmental factors that affect corrosion. Therefore, the purpose of laboratory testing is to Simulate the effects of the most important factors that enhance corrosion of metallic materials.
The accelerated corrosion test method described in this document is designed to simulate and increase the environmental exposure to outdoor salt contamination and accelerate corrosion. Designed for the impact of the atmosphere on metal materials.
The test method involves cyclic exposure of the specimen to salt spray, "dry" and "wet" environments. This test is a comparative test and the test results cannot predict The long-term results of testing the corrosion resistance of the same metal materials used in this environment are not obtained. However, this method can still provide the results of exposure to the same test conditions.
Valuable information on the relevant properties of materials in similar salt contaminated environments.
Corrosion of metals and alloys cyclically exposed to salt spray, Accelerated testing under "dry" and "wet" conditions WARNING. This document may contain hazardous materials, procedures, and equipment. This document does not claim to address all safety issues associated with its use.
It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish safety and health practices and determine applicable regulatory requirements prior to use.
1 Scope
This document specifies the apparatus and test methods for accelerated corrosion testing of metallic materials for use outdoors in salt-contaminated environments.
This document specifies the cyclic exposure of specimens to neutral salt spray, Test methods for "dry" and "wet" test environments. The type of specimen and exposure time are not specified in this document.
Compared with conventional accelerated corrosion tests, such as the neutral salt spray test (NSS), the biggest advantage of this test is that it can better Corrosion now occurs in outdoor salt-contaminated environments. The accelerated corrosion tests in this document are applicable to.
---Metals and their alloys;
---Metallic covering (anodic and cathodic);
---Conversion covering layer;
--- Anodic oxide coating;
---Organic coating on metal materials.
Note: GB/T 31588.1 gives the test method for the coating to determine the resistance of the coating to various cyclic corrosion conditions (including resistance to moisture (including condensation of water on the specimen during humidity).
