ISO 4892-1:2024

This document provides general guidance and requirements relevant to the selection and operation of the methods of exposure described in detail in subsequent parts of the ISO 4892 series. It also specifies general performance requirements for devices used for exposing plastics to laboratory light sources. Information regarding performance requirements is for producers of artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation devices.
This document also provides information on the interpretation of data from artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures. More specific information about methods for determining the change in the properties of plastics after exposure and reporting these results is not part of this document.
