This standard specifies the method of accelerated weathering testing paints and related coatings using a flaming carbon arc device filtered by a filter. Its main purpose is to evaluate the degradation of physical and Optical Properties of coatings under the combined action of light, heat and water. This test simulates the environmental conditions that coatings may encounter in practical applications, such as sunlight, moisture and heat, but does not include localized weather phenomena such as atmospheric pollution. The test results help to understand the durability of coatings and how they perform in actual use. It should be noted that the results under different operating conditions may vary, and the same test conditions should be used for inter-laboratory comparisons.
