NF ISO 16474-4
Paints and varnishes - Methods of exposure to laboratory light sources - Part 4 : Open-flame carbon-arc lamps
ISO 16474-4:2013 specifies methods for exposing specimens to open-flame carbon-arc lamps in the presence of moisture to reproduce the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed in actual end-use environments to daylight or to daylight filtered through window glass.The specimens are exposed to filtered open-flame carbon-arc light under controlled conditions (temperature, humidity and/or wetting). Different types of filters are used to simulate either direct exposure to the environment or exposure through window glass.Specimen preparation and evaluation of the results are covered in other International Standards for specific materials.General guidance is given in ISO 16474?1. Open-flame carbon-arc exposures for plastics are described in ISO 4892?4.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
