Per the manufacturers specifications.

International code? There are many. Look for them in the manufacturers specs.

If you have any, use common sense.

There is no international standard that I know of.

A general rule of thumb is anywhere above freezing. Obviously, you don't want to store materials in the hot sun either.

Above freezing is always alright for storage. As far as application goes, many materials require temperatures above 50°F to behave properly.

While there is some play in the numbers, based on experience, I'd say that for long term storage, anywhere between 40°-80°F would be ideal.

Like it says on the packaging.............always rotate your stock.

The industrial standard for any engineer is that when you are asked a technical question you must know where to get the authorized information. CR4 is not an authorized source of any information. The coating manufacturer is certainly an authorized source for their product. Your local safety standards may include code for the safe storage of many industrial chemicals. Have a nice day.

Put your question to the manufacturer of the products you wish to store.

Many of them will have different requirements, depending on the chemistry of the coating.

This is not a free search site. You may have to do some of your own work.
