Online Seminar

Accelerated weathering, light fastness, irradiation, UV test, photo stability, photo degradation, shelf life, solar simulation, climatic test, ASLT, forced degradation, solar heat load etc. Are these just different words for the same test? Or do these terms actually denote different combinations of stressors and therefore specify different tests? The key to understanding the differences and similarities is the application. Different industries, e. g. the pharmaceutical, paint, PV, or textile industries and consequently different standards committees, have developed different testing philosophies adapted to their needs, applications, and product lifetimes.
