ISO 16474-1:2013(E)

Introduction
Coatings from paints, varnishes and similar materials are often used outdoors or in indoor locations
where they are exposed to solar radiation or to solar radiation behind glass for long periods. It is therefore
very important to determine the effects of solar radiation, heat, moisture and other climatic stresses on
the colour and other properties of polymers. Outdoor exposures to solar radiation and to solar radiation
filtered by window glass are described in ISO 2810[9]. However, it is often necessary to determine more
rapidly the effects of light, heat and moisture on the physical, chemical and optical properties of coatings
with artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures that use specific
laboratory light sources. Exposures in these laboratory devices are conducted under more controlled
conditions than found in natural environments and are intended to accelerate polymer degradation
and product failures. Relating results from accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation
exposures to those obtained in actual-use conditions is difficult because of variability in both types of
exposure and because laboratory tests often do not reproduce all the exposure stresses experienced
by coatings exposed in actual-use conditions. In addition, the increase in rate of degradation by the
accelerated test compared with natural exposure conditions varies with the type of material and its
formulation. No single laboratory exposure test can be specified as a total simulation of actual-use
exposures. The relative durability of materials in actual-use exposures can be very different depending
on the location of the exposure because of differences in solar radiation, time of wetness, temperature,
pollutants and other factors. Therefore, even if results from specific accelerated weathering or artificial
accelerated irradiation exposures are found to be useful for comparing the relative durability of
materials exposed in a particular outdoor location or in particular actual-use conditions, it cannot
be assumed that they will be useful for determining the relative durability of materials exposed in a
different outdoor location or in different actual-use conditions.

ISO 16474-1:2013(E)

3.1
artificial accelerated irradiation
exposure of a material to a laboratory radiation source intended to simulate window-glass-filtered solar
radiation or radiation from interior lighting sources and where specimens are subjected to relatively
small changes in temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to produce more rapidly the same
changes that occur when the material is used in an indoor environment
Note 1 to entry: These exposures are commonly referred to as fading or light fastness tests.
3.2
artificial accelerated weathering
exposure of a material in a laboratory weathering device to conditions which may be cyclic and intensified
compared with those encountered in outdoor or in-service exposure
Note 1 to entry: This involves a laboratory radiation source, heat and moisture (in the form of relative humidity
and/or water spray, condensation or immersion) in an attempt to produce more rapidly the same changes that
occur in long-term outdoor exposure.
Note 2 to entry: The device may include means for control and/or monitoring of the light source and other
weathering parameters. It may also include exposure to special conditions, such as acid spray to simulate the
effect of industrial gases.
3.3
control material
material which is of similar composition and construction to the test material and which is exposed at
the same time for comparison with the test material
Note 1 to entry: An example of the use of a control material would be when a formulation different from one currently
(standards.iteh.ai)
being used is being evaluated. In that case, the control would be the coating made with the original formulation.

4 Principle
4.1 General
Specimens of the samples to be tested are exposed to laboratory light sources under controlled
environmental conditions. The methods described include the requirements which have to be met for
the measurement of the irradiance and radiant exposure in the plane of the specimen, the temperature
of specified white and black sensors, the chamber air temperature and the relative humidity.
4.2 Significance
4.2.1 When conducting exposures in devices that use laboratory light sources, it is important to
consider how well the accelerated-test conditions simulate the actual-use environment for the paint or
varnish being tested. In addition, it is essential to consider the effects of variability in both the accelerated
test and actual exposures when setting up exposure experiments and when interpreting the results from
artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures.

ISO 16474-1:2013(E)

4.2.2 No laboratory exposure test can be specified as a total simulation of actual-use conditions. Results
obtained from artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures can be
considered as representative of actual-use exposures only when the degree of rank correlation has been
established for the specific materials being tested and when the type and mechanism of degradation are
the same. The relative durability of materials in actual-use conditions can be very different in different
locations because of differences in solar radiation, time of wetness, relative humidity, temperature,
pollutants and other factors. Therefore, even if results from a specific exposure test conducted in
accordance with any of the parts of this International Standard are found to be useful for comparing the
relative durability of materials exposed in a particular environment, it cannot be assumed that they will
be useful for determining the relative durability of the same materials in a different environment.
4.2.3 Even though it is very tempting, it is invalid to assign to all materials a “general acceleration factor”
relating “x” hours or megajoules of radiant exposure in an artificial accelerated weathering or artificial
accelerated irradiation exposure to “y” months or years of actual exposure. Such acceleration factors are
invalid for the following reasons:
a) acceleration factors are material-dependent and can be significantly different for each material and
for different formulations of the same material;
b) variability in the rate of degradation in both actual-use and artificial accelerated weathering
or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures can have a significant effect on the calculated
acceleration factor;
c) acceleration factors calculated based on the ratio of irradiance between a laboratory light source and
solar radiation (even when identical pass-bands are used) do not take into consideration the effects
of temperature, moisture and differences in spectral power distribution between the laboratory
light source and solar radiation.
(standards.iteh.ai)
NOTE Acceleration factors determined for a specific formulation of a material are valid, but only if they are
based on data from a sufficient number of separate outdoor or indoor environmental tests and artificial accelerated
ISO 16474-1:2013
weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures so that results used to relate times to failure in each
exposure can be analysed using statistical methods. An example of a statistical analysis using multiple laboratory
b8e74b88e3f0/iso-16474-1-2013
and actual exposures to calculate an acceleration factor is described by J.A. Simms[1].
4.2.4 There are a number of factors that might decrease the degree of correlation between accelerated
tests using laboratory light sources and exterior exposures (more specific information on how each factor
can alter the stability ranking of materials is given in Annex B):
a) differences in the spectral irradiance of the laboratory light source and solar radiation;
b) irradiance levels higher than those experienced in actual-use conditions;
c) exposure cycles that use continuous exposure to light from a laboratory light source without any
dark periods;
d) specimen temperatures higher than those in actual conditions;
e) exposure conditions that produce unrealistic temperature differences between light- and dark-
coloured specimens;
f) exposure conditions that produce very frequent cycling between high and low specimen
temperatures, or that produce unrealistic thermal shock;
g) unrealistic levels of moisture in the accelerated test compared to actual-use conditions;
h) the absence of biological agents, pollutants or acidic precipitation or condensation.

ISO 16474-1:2013(E)

4.3 Use of accelerated tests with laboratory light sources
4.3.1 Results from artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures
conducted in accordance with any of the parts of this International Standard are best used to compare the
relative performance of materials. Comparisons between materials can only be made when the materials
are tested at the same time in the same exposure device. Results can be expressed by comparing the
exposure time or radiant exposure necessary to reduce the level of a characteristic property to some
specified level. A common application of this is a test conducted to establish that the level of quality of
different batches does not vary from that of a control of known performance.
4.3.1.1 It is strongly recommended that at least one control be exposed with each test for the purpose
of comparing the performance of the test materials to that of the control. The control material should be
of similar composition and construction and be chosen so that its failure modes are the same as that of
the material being tested. It is preferable to use two controls, one with relatively good durability and one
with relatively poor durability.
4.3.1.2 Sufficient replicates of each control and each test material being evaluated are necessary in
order to allow statistical evaluation of the results. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of three
replicates for all test and control materials. When material properties are measured using destructive
tests, a separate set of specimens is needed for each exposure period.
4.3.2 In some specification tests, test materials are exposed at the same time as a weathering reference
material (e.g. blue wool test fabric). The property or properties of the test material are measured after
a defined property of the reference material reaches a specified level. If the reference material differs in
composition from the test material, it might not be sensitive to exposure stresses that produce failure
(standards.iteh.ai)
in the test material or it might be very sensitive to an exposure stress that has very little effect on the
test material. The variability in results for the reference material might be very different from that for
the test material. All these differences between the ISO reference
16474-1:2013 material and the test material can produce
misleading results when the reference material is used as a control or to determine the length of the
exposure period. b8e74b88e3f0/iso-16474-1-2013
NOTE 1 Definitions of control and reference materials that are appropriate to weathering tests are given in Clause 3.
NOTE 2 Weathering reference materials can also be used to monitor the consistency of the operating conditions
in an exposure test. Information about the selection and characterization of reference materials used for this
purpose can be found in ASTM G 156[2]. ISO/TR 19032[3] describes a procedure which uses the change in the
carbonyl index of a specific polyethylene weathering reference material to monitor conditions in both natural
weathering and artificial accelerated weathering exposures.
4.3.3 In some specification tests, properties of test specimens are evaluated after a specific exposure
time or radiant exposure using a test cycle with a prescribed set of conditions. Results from any accelerated
exposure test conducted in accordance with any of the parts of this International Standard should not be
used to make a “pass/fail” decision for materials, based on the level of a specific property after a specific
exposure time or radiant exposure, unless the combined reproducibility of the effects of a particular
exposure cycle and property measurement method has been established.
5 Requirements for laboratory exposure devices

Laboratory exposure devices shall be equipped with facilities to provide specimens with irradiance
(5.1), temperature (5.2), humidity and wetting (5.3).
5.1 Irradiance
5.1.1 Laboratory light sources are used to provide irradiance for the test specimens. In ISO 16474-2 a
xenon-arc lamp is used to provide the irradiance for the specimens, in ISO 16474-3 a fluorescent UV lamp,
and in ISO 16474-4 an open-flame carbon-arc lamp.

ISO 16474-1:2013(E)

5.1.2 The exposure device shall provide for placement of specimens and any designated sensing devices
in positions that allow uniform irradiance from the light source.
NOTE The spectral irradiance produced in an artificial accelerated weathering device is very important.
Ideally, the relative spectral irradiance produced by the device should be a very close match to that of solar
radiation, especially in the short-wavelength UV region. Annex C provides information about a benchmark solar
spectrum that can be used for comparing the spectral irradiance produced in the artificial accelerated exposure
to that for solar radiation. Subsequent parts of this International Standard contain specific requirements for the
relative spectral irradiance produced in the devices described in those parts.
5.1.3 Exposure devices shall be designed such that the irradiance at any location in the area used for
specimen exposures is at least 70 % of the maximum irradiance measured in this area. Procedures for
measuring irradiance uniformity by the device manufacturers are given in Annex A.
NOTE The irradiance uniformity in exposure devices depends on several factors, such as deposits that
can develop on the optical system and chamber walls. In addition, irradiance uniformity can be affected by the
type of specimen and the number of specimens being exposed. The irradiance uniformity as guaranteed by the
manufacturer is valid for new equipment and well-defined measuring conditions.
5.1.4 Depending on the specific sensitivity of the material periodic repositioning of the specimens is
good practice in order to be sure that the variability in exposure stresses experienced during the exposure
period is kept to the minimum. If the irradiance at any position in the area used for specimen exposure
is between 70 % and 90 % of the maximum irradiance, specimens shall be periodically repositioned to
reduce the variability in radiant exposure.
NOTE iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
Random placement of replicate specimens is also good practice to reduce the effect of any variability
in the conditions within the exposure area.
(standards.iteh.ai)
5.1.5 Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions for lamp and filter replacement and for pre-ageing
of lamps and/or filters. ISO 16474-1:2013
5.1.6 A radiometer that compliesb8e74b88e3f0/iso-16474-1-2013
with the requirements outlined in ISO 9370 may be used to measure
the irradiance E or spectral irradiance Eλ and the radiant exposure H or spectral radiant exposure Hλ in
the plane of the specimen surface.
5.1.6.1 If used, the radiometer shall be mounted so that it receives the same radiation as the specimen
surface. If it is not positioned in the specimen plane, it shall have a sufficiently wide field of view and be
calibrated for irradiance at the specimen distance.
5.1.6.2 The field radiometer shall be calibrated in the emission region of the light source used with
a reference radiometer. The radiometer shall be calibrated using a light source filter combination of
the same type that will be used for testing or an appropriate spectral mismatch factor has been taken
into account. The calibration shall be checked in accordance with the radiation measuring instrument
manufacturer’s instructions.
For fluorescent UV lamps, it has been shown that the field radiometers have to be calibrated with lamps
that have a spectral power distribution which is identical to that of the lamps that will be used for testing.
NOTE Refer to ISO 9370 for definitions of field and reference radiometers.
5.1.6.3 When measured, the irradiance in the wavelength range agreed upon by all interested parties
shall be reported. Some types of device provide for measuring irradiance in a specific wavelength range
(e.g. 300 nm to 400 nm or 300 nm to 800 nm) or in a narrow pass-band that is centred around a single
wavelength (e.g. 340 nm).

ISO 16474-1:2013(E)

5.2 Temperature
5.2.1 The surface temperature of exposed materials depends primarily on the amount of radiation
absorbed, the emissivity of the specimen, the amount of thermal conduction within the specimen and
the amount of heat transmission between the specimen and the air or between the specimen and the
specimen holder. Since it is not practical to monitor the surface temperature of individual test specimens,
a specified black surface sensor is used to measure and control the temperature within the exposure
chamber. The black surface temperature sensor shall be mounted within the specimen exposure area so
that it receives the same radiation and experiences the same cooling conditions as a flat test panel surface.
5.2.2 Two types of black surface temperature sensor may be used: a black-standard thermometer (BST)
and a black-panel thermometer (BPT).
5.2.2.1 Black-standard thermometers, consisting of a plane (flat) stainless-steel plate with a thickness
of 0,5 mm to 1,2 mm. A typical length and width is about 70 mm by 40 mm. The surface of this plate facing
the light source shall be coated with a black layer which has good resistance to ageing. The coated black
plate shall reflect no more than 10 % of all incident flux up to 2 500 nm. A thermally sensitive element
such as a platinum resistance sensor shall be attached to the centre of the plate, in good thermal contact
with the plate, on the side opposite the radiation source. This side of the metal plate shall be attached to a
5 mm thick baseplate made of unfilled poly(vinylidene fluoride) fluoride (PVDF). A small space sufficient
to hold the platinum resistance sensor shall be machined in the PVDF baseplate. The distance between
the sensor and this recess in the PVDF plate shall be about 1 mm. The length and width of the PVDF
plate shall be sufficient so that no metal-to-metal thermal contact exists between the black-coated metal
plate and the mounting holder into which it is fitted. The metal mounts of the holder of the insulated
black panel shall be at least 4 mm from the edges of the metal plate. Black-standard thermometers which
(standards.iteh.ai)
differ in construction from that specified above are permitted as long as the temperature indicated by
the alternative construction is within ± 1,0 °C of that of the specified construction at all steady-state
temperature and irradiance settings the exposure ISO device is capable of attaining. In addition, the time
16474-1:2013
needed for an alternative black-standard thermometer to reach the steady-state shall be within 10 % of
the time needed for the specified black-standard thermometer to
b8e74b88e3f0/iso-16474-1-2013 reach the steady-state.
NOTE Black-standard thermometers are sometimes referred to as insulated black-panel thermometers.
5.2.2.2 Black-panel thermometers, consisting of a plane (flat) metal plate that is resistant to corrosion.
Typical dimensions are about 150 mm long, 70 mm wide and 1 mm thick. The surface of this plate that
faces the light source shall be coated with a black layer which has good resistance to ageing. The coated
black plate shall reflect no more than 10 % of all incident flux up to 2 500 nm. A thermally sensitive element
shall be firmly attached to the centre of the exposed surface. This thermally sensitive element may be a
black-coated stem-type bimetallic dial sensor, a resistance-based sensor, a thermistor or a thermocouple.
The back side of the metal panel shall be open to the atmosphere.
NOTE Black-panel thermometers are sometimes referred to as uninsulated black-panel thermometers.
5.2.2.3 Unless otherwise specified, temperatures shall be measured using either of the thermometer
designs described above. If other means are used to measure the temperature of black or white panels,
the exact construction of the black or white panel shall be included in the test report.
5.2.3 The temperature indicated by the black-panel or black-standard thermometer depends on the
irradiance produced by the laboratory light source and the temperature and speed of the air moving in the
exposure chamber. Black-panel temperatures generally correspond to those for dark coatings on metal
panels without thermal insulation on the rear side. Black-standard thermometer temperatures generally
correspond to those for the exposed surface of dark samples with poor thermal conductivity. At conditions
used in typical exposures, the temperature indicated by a black-standard thermometer will be 3 °C to 12 °C
higher than that indicated by a black-panel thermometer. The actual difference between a black-panel
temperature and a temperature measured with a black-standard thermometer should, however, preferably
be determined for each exposure condition. Because black-standard thermometers are insulated, their
response time for temperature changes is slightly slower than for a black-panel thermometer.
