ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
accessibility
ease of access to the steel components for the purpose of inspection and maintenance without any work
over and above that concerned with routine inspection
3.2
ambience
environmental conditions which prevail in the interior of the building
Note 1 to entry: These conditions determine the corrosivity category of the ambience and include different
parameters such as the air temperature, the relative humidity, the operating conditions in the building (e.g. use of
aggressive chemical products, refrigerated areas).
Note 2 to entry: The atmosphere surrounding the building can influence the ambience.
Note 3 to entry: Annex A gives an example of classification of types of ambience.
3.3
building interior application
application in buildings for which the concerned construction products (i.e. components of the building
fabric) are submitted to the influence of interior ambiences without significant exposure of any side of
the product to the influence of exterior atmospheres
Note 1 to entry: Building products include, for example: liner trays, ribbed profiles for roofing and cladding, curved
profiles, brake-pressed profiles, interior wall panels for partitions, ceiling panels, suspended frames (for suspended
ceilings), factory foamed (or with mineral wool) sandwich panels for cold rooms or rooms with controlled
ambience, interior door frames, interior metal doors, interior metal windows and for ceilings.
Note 2 to entry: Some coil coated products can be used for interior applications having special performance
requirements, e.g. lighting. In such cases, these particular requirements should also be considered in consultation
with the manufacturer.
Note 3 to entry: For interior building elements, it is important to consider the risk of corrosive attack on the reverse
side of the element. This can be especially important in double-skin assemblies (e.g. built up insulated cladding)
where the reverse side of the interior element is not easily accessible for maintenance and/or in situations where
the interior element is expected to provide long-term durability.
Note 4 to entry: Besides the requirements written in this document, there can be other international or national
requirements or regulations regarding fire, safety, food contact etc. that can be considered at the time of enquiry
and order.

goods, sandwich panels for roofing and cladding, roof tiles, accessories (flashings, trims), rainwater goods (gutters,
down pipes), metal doors and garage doors.
Note 2 to entry: For exterior building elements, it is important to consider the risk of corrosive attack on internal,
i.e. reverse side surfaces. In particular, buildings with wet or chemically polluted internal environments can require
a reverse side organic coating selected to provide enhanced corrosion protection.
Note 3 to entry: This can be especially important in double-skin assemblies (e.g. built-up insulated cladding) where
the reverse side of the exterior element is not easily accessible for maintenance and/or in situations where the
exterior element is expected to provide long-term durability.

solvents (if required) have generally been added, suitable for coil coating
Note 1 to entry: These can be paints (in liquid or powder form) that when applied form an opaque film or plastic
film providing protective, decorative and/or specific properties.
