GME 60-206-E Requirements

Hi!

I am working as a Lab Manager in an important Seat Belt company. One of my components drawings says "Salt Spray Fog Test To GME 60-206-E Grade 2".

What do you know about this requirement and for how many hours do I need to have this component exposed to salt spray?

Thanks,

Juan - This standard is now GMI60206 and can be obtained from Global Engineering. It will tell you the salt spray requirements and performance criteria.
