Description / Abstract:
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations.
Note: In the event of conflict between the
English and domestic language, the English language shall take
precedence.
Purpose. The purpose of the rating scale is to
allow comparison between vehicles and consistency between
personnel. It is important to recognize that rating corrosion
involves perception of an objectionable surface and much of the
judgment is subjective. In developing the corrosion scales, General
Motors has tried to provide an objective measure that will guide
subjective judgment.
Applicability. This Component Guideline
contains Underbody, Underhood, Interior, and Secondary Surface.
Remarks. The Corrosion Rating Scale Guidelines
contain corrosion rating scales, rating guidelines, and photographs
for the determination of corrosion severity on all vehicular parts,
including body and sheet metal, underbody and underhood components,
and fasteners. It is intended that the scales are used for both
corporate corrosion inspections and field surveys.
