Plastiques — Détermination des changements de coloration et des variations de propriétés après exposition au rayonnement solaire sous verre, aux agents atmosphériques ou aux sources de rayonnement de laboratoire

ISO 4582:2017 specifies methods to determine changes in colour and other appearance properties, and variations in mechanical or other properties, of plastics that have been exposed to glass-filtered solar radiation, to natural weathering or to simulated solar radiation from a laboratory source. The procedure used to analyse data depends on whether the test used to characterize the materials being exposed is destructive or non-destructive. The exposures are conducted under conditions described in specific exposure standards.
