ISO 16474-1:2013 Paints and varnishes, Methods of exposure to laboratory light sources, General Guidance

ISO 16474-1:2013 covers the facts and general guidelines regarding the choice and use of exposure methods. Additionally, it outlines the general specifications for equipment meant to expose paints and varnishes to light sources in laboratories. Manufacturers of artificially accelerated weathering or artificially accelerated irradiation equipment are given information regarding such performance standards. The interpretation of data from artificially accelerated weathering or artificially accelerated radiation exposures is likewise covered in ISO 16474-1:2013.

    Introduction to ISO 16474-1:2013

    Paints, varnishes, and related compounds are frequently used to coat surfaces either indoors or outdoors where they are subjected to prolonged sun exposure or sunlight passing through glass. Determining how sun radiation, heat, moisture, and other climatic conditions affect the color and other characteristics of polymers is therefore crucial. With the use of particular laboratory light sources, it is frequently essential to ascertain more quickly the effects of heat, moisture, and light on the chemical, optical, and physical properties of coatings through artificially accelerated weathering or exposure to artificially accelerated radiation. Exposures in these lab apparatuses aim to hasten polymer deterioration and product failures under more regulated circumstances than in natural settings. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ISO 1776:1985 tests for our clients.

    ISO 16474-1:2013 Test Method

    Exposure to IrradianceThe test specimens are exposed to light from laboratory light sources. The irradiance at any point in the area utilized for specimen exposures must be at least 70% of the maximum irradiance measured in this area for exposure devices to be considered adequately built. Measurements of irradiance are made with a radiometer.
    Exposure to TemperatureA designated black surface sensor measures and manages the exposure chamber’s temperature. It must be installed inside the specimen exposure region to give the black surface temperature sensor the same radiation exposure and cooling circumstances as a flat test panel surface.
