Plastics - Methods of exposure to solar radiation - Part 1: General guidance (ISO/FDIS 877-1:2025)

Scope

This document provides information and general guidance on the selection and use of the methods of exposure to solar radiation described in detail in subsequent parts of the ISO 877 series. These methods of exposure to solar radiation are applicable to plastics materials of all kinds as well as to products and portions of products.
It also specifies methods for determining radiant exposure.
It does not include direct weathering using black-box test fixtures, which simulate higher end-use temperatures in some applications.
NOTE            ASTM G7 and ASTM D4141 describe black-box exposure tests.
