| 7 | 1 Scope 2 Normative references 3 Principle 3.1 A xenon arc, when fitted with suitable filters and properly maintained, produces radiation with a spectral energy distribution similar to that of terrestrial sunlight in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the spectrum. 3.2 Specimens of the samples to be tested are exposed to the light source under controlled environmental conditions. 3.3 The procedure may include measurement of the irradiance and radiant exposure at the surface of the specimen. 3.4 It is recommended that a similar material of known behaviour be exposed simultaneously with the experimental material as a reference. 3.5 Intercomparison of results obtained from specimens exposed in different apparatus should not be made unless reproducibility has been established among devices for the material to be tested. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Laboratory light source |
