The standard specifies a method for accelerated exposure testing of coatings using Xenon-arc lamps to assess changes in the performance of paints and coatings under light, heat and moisture. The tests simulate the effects of light, heat and moisture on coatings, but do not include atmospheric contamination or saline water exposure. The standard requires laboratories to use the same Light source and conditions to ensure Reliability of results and emphasizes Repeatability and Comparability of results.
