This International Standard is one of a series of standards dealing with the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and related products.
It specifies a test method for determining the resistance of paint coatings to artificial weathering in apparatus including fluorescent UV lamps and condensation or water spray.
NOTE 1 The ultraviolet light produced by the fluorescent tubes simulates only part of the UV region of the natural sunlight and consequently the test pieces are subjected to a small but destructive portion of the spectrum.
Due to the lack of energy of visible and infra-red radiation compared to sunlight the test piece is not heated above the temperature of the surrounding air which takes place in practical use.
