Ballast water carried by ships keeps them upright during loading and offloading operations and provides balance, stability, and trim during sailing. Because ballast water is loaded from the surrounding port or coastal waters, organisms in the ballast water sometimes establish populations resulting in biological invasions, which may have severe ecological or economic impacts. This standard is designed to test the effect of long-term accelerated exposure of treated water on coating systems.

Fire is the biggest threat for the crews in aircraft, ships, submarines, and land vehicles. As a result of such threats there have been use of fire/flame retardants coatings increased exponentially to curb economic and social consequences of fire [1]. There are various types of coatings available to fight against the fire. Two classes of fire protection technologies are being used currently, 1) Fire retardant and 2) Fire resistant. Fire retardant coatings are passive fire protection coatings where such coatings can slow down the spread of the flames allowing more time for evacuation and firefighting. Fire resistant coatings typically inhibiting the flame penetration or do not ignite upon in contact with fire [2].
