The work of preparing I
16、nternational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison
17、 with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of tech
18、nical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is draw
19、n to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

22、ory light sources Part 2: Xenon-arc lamps 1 Scope This part of ISO 4892 specifies methods for exposing specimens to xenon-arc light 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
23、 through window glass. The specimens are exposed to filtered xenon-arc light under controlled conditions (temperature, humidity and/or wetting). Various types of xenon-arc light source and various filter combinations may be used to meet different requirements. Specimen preparation and evaluation of
24、the results are covered in other International Standards for specific materials. General guidance is given in ISO 4892-1. NOTE Xenon-arc exposures of paints and varnishes are described in ISO 11341. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of th

27、et (UV) and visible regions of the spectrum. 3.2 Specimens are exposed to various levels of light, heat, relative humidity and water (see 3.4) under controlled environmental conditions. 3.3 The exposure conditions may be varied by selection of a) the light filter(s); b) the irradiance level; SANS 48

29、ions requiring control of humidity are used; e) the way the test specimens are wetted (see 3.4); f) the water temperature and wetting cycle; g) the relative lengths of the light and dark periods. 3.4 Wetting is usually produced by spraying the test specimens with demineralized/deionized water, by im
30、mersion in water or by condensation of water vapour onto the surfaces of the specimens. 3.5 The procedure may include measurements of the irradiance and radiant exposure in the plane of the specimens. 3.6 It is recommended that a similar material of known performance (a control) be exposed simultane
31、ously with the test specimens to provide a standard for comparative purposes. 3.7 Intercomparison of results obtained from specimens exposed in different apparatus should not be made unless an appropriate statistical relationship has been established between the apparatuses for the particular materi
32、al exposed. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Laboratory light source 4.1.1 General The light source shall comprise one or more quartz-jacketed xenon-arc lamps which emit radiation from below 270 nm in the ultraviolet through the visible spectrum and into the infrared. In order to simulate daylight, filters shall be
33、used to remove short-wavelength UV radiation (method A, see Table 1). Filters to minimize irradiance at wavelengths shorter than 310 nm shall be used to simulate daylight through window glass (method B, see Table 2). In addition, filters to remove infrared radiation may be used to prevent unrealisti
34、c heating of the test specimens, which can cause thermal degradation not experienced during outdoor exposures. NOTE Solar spectral irradiance for a number of different atmospheric conditions is described in CIE Publication No. 85. The benchmark daylight used in this part of ISO 4892 is that defined
35、in Table 4 in CIE No. 85:1989. 4.1.2 Spectral irradiance of xenon-arc lamps with daylight filters Filters are used to filter xenon-arc emissions in order to simulate daylight (CIE Publication No. 85:1989, Table 4). The minimum and maximum levels of the relative spectral irradiance in the UV waveleng
36、th range are given in Table 1 (see also Annex A).

38、en 290 nm and 400 nm. To determine whether a specific filter or set of filters for a xenon-arc lamp meets the requirements of this table, the spectral irradiance must be measured from 250 nm to 400 nm. The total irradiance in each wavelength passband is then summed and divided by the total irradianc
39、e from 290 nm to 400 nm. bThe minimum and maximum limits in this table are based on more than 100 spectral irradiance measurements with water- and air-cooled xenon-arc lamps with daylight filters from different production lots and of various ages 3 , used in accordance with the recommendations of th
40、e manufacturer. As more spectral irradiance data become available, minor changes in the limits are possible. The minimum and maximum limits are at least three sigma from the mean for all the measurements. cThe minimum and maximum columns will not necessarily sum to 100 % because they represent the m
41、inima and maxima for the measurement data used. For any individual spectral irradiance, the percentages calculated for the passbands in this table will sum to 100 %. For any individual xenon-arc lamp with daylight filters, the calculated percentage in each passband shall fall within the minimum and
42、maximum limits given. Exposure results can be expected to differ if obtained using xenon-arc apparatus in which the spectral irradiances differ by as much as that allowed by the tolerances. Contact the manufacturer of the xenon-arc apparatus for specific spectral irradiance data for the xenon-arc la
43、mp and filters used. dThe data from Table 4 in CIE Publication No. 85:1989 is the global solar irradiance on a horizontal surface for an air mass of 1,0, an ozone column of 0,34 cm at STP, 1,42 cm of precipitable water vapour and a spectral optical depth of aerosol extinction of 0,1 at 500 nm. These
44、 data are target values for xenon-arc lamps with daylight filters. eFor the solar spectrum represented by Table 4 in CIE No. 85:1989, the UV irradiance (between 290 nm and 400 nm) is 11 % and the visible irradiance (between 400 nm and 800 nm) is 89 %, expressed as a percentage of the total irradianc
45、e between 290 nm and 800 nm. The percentage of the UV irradiance and that of the visible irradiance incident on specimens exposed in xenon-arc apparatus may vary due to the number of specimens being exposed and their reflectance properties. 4.1.3 Spectral irradiance of xenon-arc lamps with window gl
46、ass filters Filters are used to filter the xenon-arc lamp emissions in order to simulate daylight which has passed through window glass. The minimum and maximum levels of the relative spectral irradiance in the UV region are given in Table 2 (see also Annex A). SANS 4892-2:2008This standard may only
