<p>ISO 16474-3:2013 specifies methods for exposing coatings to fluorescent UV lamps, heat and water in apparatus designed to reproduce the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed in actual end-use environments to daylight, or to daylight through window glass.</p>
<p>The coatings are exposed to different types of fluorescent UV lamps under controlled environmental conditions (temperature, humidity and/or water). Different types of fluorescent UV lamp may be used to meet all the requirements for testing different materials.</p>
<p>Specimen preparation and evaluation of the results are covered in other ISO documents for specific materials.</p>
<p>General guidance is given in ISO 16474‑1. Fluorescent UV lamp exposures for plastics are described in ISO 4892‑3.</p>
