The present ISO 9223 standard was at the time of its development in the 197080's a big step forward as it was the first classification system describing the corrosivity categories in a quantitative way. The standard has found a broad application and has been adopted in other national and international standards. It was mainly based on data from the temperate regions of Europe and Northern America, which were available at that time. Since the publication of the standard certain limitations have become obvious and many remarks concern limitations with respect to covering climatic influences. This paper will focus on the development of dose-response functions describing the corrosivity of outdoor atmospheres and the possible improvements that can be made of the standard using the developed functions.
