1 Scope
This part of QB/T 1901 specifies methods to determine fineness, thickness, corrosion resistance and adhesion for gold alloy coverings on watch-cases and accessories, including bracelets when they are permanently attached to the case.
The tests apply only to significant surfaces.
This part of QB/T 1901 applies to all gold alloy coverings specified in QB/T 1901.1.
