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?
