The standard provides general guidance for exposure testing of Paints and varnishes under laboratory Light sources. This section covers methods for artificially accelerated weathering and irradiation testing used to simulate the exposure of coatings to solar radiation in a real environment. The standard describes the performance requirements for laboratory equipment and operating guidelines to ensure Reliability and Repeatability of test results. It highlights the differences between the laboratory environment and actual conditions of use and points out that accelerated testing cannot fully replace the effects of natural exposure. The standard also provides information on the interpretation of test data and guidance on how to select and operate the relevant test equipment.
