This part of EN 13523 describes the basic principles and procedure for determining the resistance of an organic coating on a metallic substrate to a combination of fluorescent UV light and water condensation.
Due to varied conditions which occur during natural weathering and the extreme nature of accelerated testing, correlation between the two cannot be expected.
Not all organic coatings will perform on an equal basis but a degree of correlation between the same generic type may be observed.
