This ASTM standard deals with indoor exposure but you might be able to use the same test durations.
ASTM D4674 - 02a(2010) Standard Practice for Accelerated Testing for Color Stability of Plastics Exposed to Indoor Office Environments Patty Knudsen Teradata Corporation PH: 858-485-3748 [email protected] ________________________________ From: McInturff, Gary [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Actinic effects tests using ISO 11341 I have a customer pulling a request out of an area very near his rear pants pocket. The goal is to understand the color fastness of a molded plastic after artificial weathering – exposure to a Xenon lamp for X number of days. I can get the test done but the client hasn’t specified and doesn’t know a test duration and the referenced standard doesn’t provide information on how to deduce a test length. The customer has no input on this and the closest reference I have is the US militaries Solar loading tests for 10 days for occasional use outdoors. Additionally the referenced standard is for paints and varnishes rather than molded plastics – does anyone have 1) and typical test duration, and 2) is there a more appropriate standard for color fastness of molded plastics?
