Textile – Tests for Weather Resistance –
UV Light Exposure
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the test method for UV light exposure ageing and the
determination of changes in performance before and after ageing of the textiles for
outdoor use.
This Standard is applicable to all kinds of textile materials and products for outdoor
use.
Note. See Annex A for the applications and limitations of this method.
2 Normative References
The following documents are essential to the application of this Standard. For
the dated references, only the dated editions are applicable to this Standard.
For the undated references, their latest editions (including all amendments) are
applicable to this Standard.
GB/T 250 Textiles - Tests for Colour Fastness - Grey Scale for Colour
3 Terms and Definitions
For the purpose of this Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 Fluorescent UV lamp
The fluorescent lamp which produces radiation energy in the ultraviolet region of the
spectrum (e.g. below 400 nm) more than 80% of the total light energy output at least.
3.2 Irradiance
The irradiance flux per unit area in the specified wavelength range, in watt(s) per
square meter (W/m2).
3.3 Radiant energy
The time integral of the irradiance, in joule(s) per square meter (J/m2).
3.4 Spectral energy distribution
Annex A
(Informative)
Applications and Limitations
A.1 In this Standard, it simulates the performance degradation of the materials
caused by the UV light and humidity conditions in the natural world, other than
simulates all weather conditions, such as air pollution, biological erosion and salt water
erosion.
A.2 Different test conditions can result in different test results. Therefore, the test
conditions shall be described in the test report; otherwise, the test results can’t be used
as reference.
A.3 The test results obtained from this Standard are used to compare the weather
resistances of the materials after exposure of a certain test method.
A.4 The correlation between the laboratory light source acceleration test and the
actual outdoor exposure is subject to a number of factors. The spectral distributions of
laboratory light source and sunlight are different. In a laboratory acceleration test, a
wavelength shorter than normal wavelength is used frequently to obtain a faster ageing
speed. For an outdoor exposure, cutoff wavelength of its short-wave UV radiation is
generally believed to be 300 nm. Under the exposure to the UV radiation of less than
300 nm, degradation reaction may be caused, but this reaction will not occur in outdoor
conditions. If the wavelength of the UV radiation contained in the laboratory light source
used in the acceleration test is less than the wavelength of the actual operating
conditions, then the degradation mechanism and the material stability level in the
acceleration test can be different significantly.
A.5 If the radiation of a certain area can cause the degradation of the material tested,
it is not necessary to simulate all spectrums of sunlight if the stability level of the
material is not changed. However, for the UV light or the laboratory light source with
visible light spectrum, there is usually strong emission spectrum within a narrow
wavelength range. It may cause some unexpected results. This type of light source
may not cause the changes of sunlight exposure. The exposure to the only light source
of UV radiation may not cause the same colour fading as that caused by visible light;
or it may cause greater polymer yellowing changes than that caused by sunlight
exposure.
