11、eBS ISO 4665:2016ISO 4665:2016(E)ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body inter
12、ested 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 with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
13、 Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO docume
14、nts should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible
15、 for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for th

18、ormative references have been updated, small editorial changes made for clarification and compression set added to mechanical properties that could be measured.iv ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 4665:2016ISO 4665:2016(E)IntroductionA number of different exposure techniques can be used to provide
19、information on the effects of environmental stresses such as light, heat, and water on rubbers. Each of these has its own particular application and relevance. Explanation of, and guidance on, methods for exposure to natural and artificial weathering is given in ISO 877-1 and ISO 4892-1. Particular
20、guidance on exposure to determine resistance to ozone is given in ISO 1431-1. The methods for exposure to weathering standardized for plastic materials are essentially suitable for rubbers, and hence this International Standard refers to the relevant ISO standards for plastics for the apparatus and
21、procedures.It is desirable that the procedures for the determination of changes in properties are the same whatever exposure is used and that the results should be expressed in a uniform manner. Such procedures are specified in this International Standard.Exposure to weathering alters the properties
22、 of the material, particularly in the surface layer. The test method used to determine changes in properties should be selected after consideration of the properties of the material which are important in its proposed application and taking into account the fact that degradation might be concentrate
23、d at the surface layer. The methods chosen ought to be capable of measuring change in properties with sufficient precision within the ranges which are important in practice, so as to provide significant criteria of change.

It is recommended that one or more of the weathering reference materials described in Annex A be used as a control, the material selected depending on the type of rubber compound under test.

41、7.3.1 GeneralThe choice of instrumental or visual assessment of colour change shall be made by agreement between the interested parties.7.3.2 Instrumental assessmentMeasure the colour of the test piece before and after each exposure stage in general accordance with ISO 18314-1. If required, also mea
42、sure the colour of a file test piece or a masked area.7.3.3 Visual assessmentCompare the contrast rating of the exposed test piece and an unexposed file test piece, and if required, a masked area, after each exposure stage, in accordance with the procedure given in ISO 105-A02.8 Changes in other app
43、earance propertiesExamine each test piece visually after each exposure stage for changes in appearance using, if appropriate, the procedure given in a relevant International Standard. Some examples of parameters used to assess change in appearance are listed in Annex B.Ozone cracking shall be assess
44、ed in accordance with ISO 1431-1.NOTE Cracking or crazing in rubber test pieces exposed outdoors can result from light ageing as well as from ozone attack. A distinction is not always possible, particularly with light-coloured rubbers. Sunlight crazing is characterized by shallow cracks and usually
45、occurs independently of strain, whereas a threshold strain has to be exceeded for ozone cracking to occur. Where there is doubt, it is useful to expose an unstrained test piece alongside the strained test piece for comparison.9 Changes in physical properties9.1 GeneralThe properties measured may be
46、those specified in an International Standard for the material or as agreed between the interested parties. Some suitable properties are listed in Annex B.

47、he determination of the properties shall be used.9.3 Test piecesTest pieces shall comply with the requirements of the relevant International Standard for the determination of the properties chosen.Test pieces may be cut from an exposed sheet of material. In such cases, the test pieces shall be taken
48、 not less than 20 mm from any fixtures holding the material or from supports that are not intended to simulate the conditions of exposure of the material in service. In no circumstances shall any of the material be removed from the exposed face during test piece preparation.9.4 ProcedureCondition th

Determine the initial properties on unexposed test pieces and the properties of exposed test pieces after each exposure stage. If required, also determine the properties of file test pieces or masked areas.Repeat the measurements carried out on the sample test pieces on test pieces from any control being used.NOTE With some tests, the results will depend on which side
