B SCOPE

This standard defines the performance requirements for chassis, engine bay, underbody
components (assemblies) and service parts exposed to extreme, severe or moderate
environments on all JLR vehicles. It does not apply to visible BIW components or cosmetic parts
where a resistance to continuous exposure to ultra-violet (U/V) light is required.

C OBJECT

To define the test requirements and the acceptance criteria for painted finishes used on Jaguar
Land Rover underbody components, assemblies and replacement service parts

D REVIEW

This document must be reviewed every three years from the date of the last review or update.

F STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS

Materials suppliers and part producers must conform to the Company's Standard Requirements for
Production Materials (STJLR.51.5226).

G GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1 Finish Types

1.1 Four types of paint finish specified, type 1, 2, 3 & 4.

1.2 Type 1 - Extreme environments (Replaces STJLR.51.5249).

1.3 Type 2 - Severe environments (Replaces STJLR.51.5250).

1.4 Type 3 - Moderate environments (Replaces STJLR.51.5251).

1.5 Type 4 - Service replacement parts (Normally supplied in electro-paint).

2 Components which are exposed to service temperatures ≥ 130°C are designated as Class A.
Components exposed to temperatures < 130 °C are designated as Class B

H CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND USE OF ENGINEERING STANDARD ON ENGINEERING

RELEASE

Components shall be specified by reference to this standard followed by suffixes defining the
application and special requirements as shown below.

1 Type
The suffix shall be numerical and denote the performance requirements.

2 Class
This suffix will be either class A or class B denoting in service exposure temperature.

3. The suffix 'Z' shall be used if any additional requirements and/or deviations from this Engineering
Standard are required. These shall be recorded in full on the relevant Engineering Release.

Example of Engineering Standard: -

STJLR.51.5254/1/B- denotes a painted component that is: -

Subject to extreme environments with a service temperature of < 130 °C.

I SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

The test schedule and acceptance criteria for painted components are detailed in Tables A1, A2, A3
and A4.

J REPORTING

On completion of the test programme, a formal test report must be created to include all relevant
data, including photographic evidence of all test panels. The tested panels must be made available
to Materials Engineering for a review of the report test results. The test report must be distributed
to all interested parties and archived in accordance with current corporate records retentions policy.
