Abstract

Procedure for comparing the colour of a coloured pigment with that of an agreed sample. The procedures described in this document are acceptable but the method using an automatic muller is the reference method. The binder is not specified. It shall be agreed between the interested parties. If no binder is agreed, linseed oil, complying with the specification in ISO 150, should be used. - Replaces ISO/R 787/1:1968.

ISO 787-1 is an International Standard from ISO for comparing the colour of a coloured pigment with an agreed sample. It sets out a general test method for pigments and extenders, with the automatic muller as the reference method and either visual or instrumental colour comparison for laboratories and manufacturers.

What does ISO 787-1 specify?

ISO 787-1 specifies a general method for comparing the colour of a coloured pigment with that of an agreed sample. The document also gives the structure of the method: apparatus and materials, sampling, preparation of the dispersion, colour comparison, and the test report.

The binder is chosen by agreement between the interested parties. If no binder is agreed, acid-refined linseed oil complying with ISO 150 is used, so the same medium can be used consistently when the test conditions have not been set in advance.

What are the key requirements of ISO 787-1?

  • Clause 5 - Sampling: ISO 787-1 requires a representative sample taken in accordance with ISO 15528. In practice, the colour result is only meaningful if the test sample truly represents the batch or lot being checked.

  • Clause 4 - Apparatus and materials: ISO 787-1 specifies ordinary laboratory equipment plus a palette knife, substrate, burette, muller, plate and binder. This matters because the comparison depends on making pastes of similar consistency and applying them in a controlled way.

  • Clause 4.6 - Binder selection: ISO 787-1 requires the binder to be agreed between the interested parties, with acid-refined linseed oil from ISO 150 used when no binder is specified. That lets the method be applied across different agreements while keeping the test medium defined.

  • Clause 6.1 - Reference method: ISO 787-1 accepts two preparation procedures, but the automatic muller method is the reference method. In practice, this is the procedure to use when results need the strongest basis for comparison.

  • Clause 6.2 - Automatic muller procedure: ISO 787-1 requires the pigment and binder to be mixed, ground in stages, and prepared alongside the agreed sample under the same force and grinding conditions. This keeps the two pastes comparable, which is the core of the test.

  • Clause 6.3 - Hand muller or palette knife procedure: ISO 787-1 also allows manual preparation, with the test portion weighed and rubbed out in repeated stages until the paste is homogeneous. This gives a practical alternative when an automatic muller is not available.

  • Clause 7 - Colour comparison: ISO 787-1 calls for the two pastes to be spread as opaque strips on a substrate and compared visually in diffuse daylight, preferably artificial daylight, using ISO 3668. By agreement, a colorimeter may be used instead, with colour differences calculated according to ISO 18314-1 and ISO/CIE 11664-4, and total colour difference reported using ISO/CIE 11664-6 or ISO 18314-5. This gives users a shared visual method or a numerical alternative.

  • Clause 8 - Test report: ISO 787-1 requires the report to identify the pigment, binder, procedure used, comparison details, result, deviations, anomalies and date. That makes the result traceable and easier to audit or repeat.

What terms does ISO 787-1 define?

  • Pigment - The coloured material being tested against the agreed sample.
  • Agreed sample - The reference pigment sample used as the colour match for comparison.
  • Binder - The liquid or medium mixed with the pigment to make the paste for testing.
  • Automatic muller - The reference grinding device used to prepare the pigment dispersion under controlled force and motion.
  • Hand muller - The manual grinding device allowed as an alternative preparation tool.
  • Substrate - The surface on which the two prepared pastes are spread for colour comparison.
  • Colorimeter - An instrument that may be used by agreement to compare colour numerically instead of by eye.

Who uses ISO 787-1?

ISO 787-1 is used by pigment manufacturers, laboratories, quality control teams, and buyers who need to compare the colour of pigments against an agreed reference. It is also relevant in the paints and varnishes field, where pigments are tested as raw materials and colour consistency is checked during incoming inspection, batch release, dispute resolution, or supplier qualification.

What changed in ISO 787-1 from the previous edition?

ISO 787-1 is a second edition that cancels and replaces ISO 787-1:1982. The stated changes are the addition of Clause 3 on terms and definitions, the addition of the colorimeter method in Clause 7, and updated normative references.

Which standards are used with ISO 787-1?

StandardWhat it contributes
ISO 150:2018Specification and test methods for the linseed oil used when no binder is agreed
ISO 3668Procedure for visual colour comparison of paints, used here for the colour comparison step
ISO 15528Sampling method for paints, varnishes and raw materials, used for taking a representative pigment sample
ISO 18314-1Practical colour measurement procedure used when a colorimeter is applied
ISO 18314-5Procedure for calculating colour differences in equidistant colour spaces
ISO 18451-1General terminology for pigments, dyestuffs and extenders
ISO/CIE 11664-4CIE 1976 Lab* colour space for calculating component colour differences
ISO/CIE 11664-6CIEDE2000 colour-difference formula for total colour difference

What does the ISO 787-1 document contain?

ISO 787-1 contains the equipment list, the sampling instruction, two alternative dispersion procedures, the colour comparison method, and the test report requirements. Clause 4 gives the apparatus and materials needed for the test, including the grinding equipment and substrate.

Clause 6 provides the practical preparation steps for both the automatic muller and the hand muller or palette knife route. Clause 7 explains how to compare the two prepared pastes visually, and it also allows instrumental comparison by agreement.

Clause 8 lists the information that must be recorded in the test report, so the result can be traced back to the pigment, the binder, the method used, and any deviations or unusual observations.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux
de normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général
confiée aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire
partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (IEC) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les procédures utilisées pour élaborer le présent document et celles destinées à sa mise à jour sont
décrites dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 1. Il convient, en particulier, de prendre note des différents
critères d'approbation requis pour les différents types de documents ISO. Le présent document
a été rédigé conformément aux règles de rédaction données dans les Directives ISO/IEC, Partie 2
(voir www.iso.org/directives).
