DIN EN ISO 4892-1:2016-10

This part of ISO 4892 provides information and general guidance relevant to the selection and operation of the methods of exposure described in detail in subsequent parts. It also describes 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 standard differs from DIN EN ISO 4892-1:2001-09 as follows: the scope has been revised; definitions for "artificial accelerated weathering" and "artificial accelerated irradiation" have been included, and radiation and temperature requirements revised, and requirements for water purity and marking of test and control specimens included. This document (EN ISO 4892-1:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61 "Plastics" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 "Plastics", the secretariat of which is held by NBN (Belgium). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 054-01-04 AA "Verhalten gegen Umwelteinflüsse" ("Environmental resistance") at DIN Standards Committee Plastics (FNK).
