4.1 The ability of a paint or coating to resist deterioration of its physical and optical properties caused by exposure to light, heat, and water can be very significant for many applications. This practice is intended to induce property changes associated with end use conditions, including the effects of daylight, moisture, and heat. The exposure used in this practice is not intended to simulate the deterioration caused by localized weather phenomena such as atmospheric pollution, biological attack, and salt water exposure. 4.2 Caution—Variation in results may be expected when different operating conditions are used. Therefore, no reference to the use of this practice shall be made unless accompanied by a report prepared according to Section 9 that describes the specific operating conditions used. Refer to Practice G151 for detailed information on the caveats applicable to use of results obtained according to this practice. Note 2: Additional information on sources of variability and
on strategies for addressing variability in the design, execution
and data analysis of laboratory accelerated exposure tests is found
in Guide G141.
4.2.1 The spectral power distribution of light from a xenon-arc is significantly different from that produced in light and water exposure devices using carbon-arc or other light sources. The type and rate of degradation and the performance rankings produced by exposures to xenon-arcs can be much different from those produced by exposures to other types of laboratory light sources. 4.2.2 Interlaboratory comparisons are valid only when all laboratories use the same light source, filter type, and exposure conditions. 4.3 Reproducibility of test results between laboratories has been shown to be good when the stability of materials is evaluated in terms of performance ranking compared to other materials or to a control.6,7 Therefore, exposure of a similar material of known performance (a control) at the same time as the test materials is strongly recommended. It is recommended that at least three replicates of each material be exposed to allow for statistical evaluation of results. 4.4 Test results will depend upon the care that is taken to operate the equipment according to Practice G155. Significant factors include regulation of line voltage, freedom from salts or other deposits from water, temperature and humidity control, and condition and age of the lamp and filters. 4.5 All references to exposures in accordance with this practice must include a complete description of the test cycle used. |

1.1 This practice covers the selection of test conditions for accelerated exposure testing of coatings and related products in xenon arc devices conducted according to Practices G151 and G155. This practice also covers the preparation of test specimens, the test conditions suited for coatings, and the evaluation of test results. Note 1: This practice and ISO 16474-2 address the same subject
matter but differ in technical content.
1.2 The values SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. |
