uvb starting at approximately 280 nm with a peak emission at 313 nm.5.3 water supplyeither distilled or deionized water.6 samplingsee en 13523-0:2001.7 test panelssee en 13523-0:2001.the test specimens shall normally be flat and 150 mm 75 mm in size.note: deviations from the standard methods of panel shape, size, previous working, or conditioning may be agreed between the interested parties.8 procedure8.1 place the test specimens in racks which are made of inert material. expose the face of the test specimens parallel to the lamps at a distance of 50 mm from the nearest surface of the lamp.8.2 if there are empty spaces within the racks fill these with blanks to maintain the conditions within the test chamber.8.3 cycle the test specimens through periods of 4 h of dry uv exposure at a black standard temperature of (60 3) c, followed by a period of 4 h of water condensation exposure, without radiation, at a black standard temperature of (40 3) c. (one cycle consists of 8 h exposure.)8.4 arrange the test specimens to allow the condensate to freely run off the surface under gravity.8.5 after every usage period of 400 light hours replace one lamp and rotate the others within the bank with the oldest lamp being taken out of service unless otherwise specified by the equipment manufacturer.8.6 conclude the exposure at an agreed time, for example 2000 h for uva or 1000 h for uvb, or an agreed number of cycles, for example 250 cycles for uva or 125 cycles for uvb.8.7 at the conclusion of the exposure evaluate the test specimens for chalking, changes of gloss and colour. assess the coating for chalking, change of gloss and change of colour at ambient temperature. for more accuratemeasurements, as required for instance in case of dispute, the temperature shall be (23 2)c and the relative humidity (50 5) %, in accordance with en 23270 : 1991.9 expression of resultsthe results shall be expressed as comparison between an unexposed test specimen and an exposed test specimen for properties defined in en 13523-2:2001, en 13523-3:2001, pren 13523-14:1999 (see also the document in preparation, wi 00139156, part 22 of this standard), if appropriate in terms of, for example, x % gloss retention according to en 13523-2:2001, de*ab = y according to en 13523-3:2001, z chalking according to pren 13523-14:1999.page 5en 13523-10:200110 precisionno precision data are currently available.11 test reportthe test report shall contain at least the following information:a) all details necessary to identify the product tested;b) a reference to this part of en 13523 (en 13523-10);c) the type of uv lamps used;d) the duration of exposure in hours;e) the results of the test, as indicated in clause 9;f) any deviation from the test method specified (panel shape, size, previous working or conditioning and any other changes);g) the date of the test.bibliographyen 1396:1996 aluminium and aluminium alloys coil coated sheet and strip for general applications specificationsen 10169-1:1996 continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products part 1: general information(definitions, materials, tolerances, test methods)env 10169-2:1999 continuously organic coated (coil coated) steel flat products part 2: products for building exterior applicationsiso 4892-3:1994 plastics methods of exposure to laboratory light sources part 3: fluorescent uv lampswi 00139156 coil coated metals test methods part 22: colour difference visual comparisonbs en13523-10:2001bsi389 chiswick high roadlondonw4 4albsi british standards institutionbsi is the independent national body responsible for preparingbritish standards. it presents the uk view on standards in europe and at the international level. it is incorporated by royal charter.revisionsbritish standards are updated by amendment or revision. users ofbritish standards should make sure that they possess the latest amendments or editions.it is the constant aim of bsi to improve the quality of our products and services. we would be grateful if anyone finding an inaccuracy or ambiguity while using this british standard would inform the secretary of the technical committee responsible, the identity of which can be found on the inside front cover.tel: 020 8996 9000. fax: 020 8996 7400.bsi offers members an individual updating service called plus which ensures that subscribers automatically receive the latest editions of standards.buying standardsorders for all bsi, international and foreign standards publications should be addressed to customer services. tel: 020 8996 9001. fax: 020 8996 7001. standards are also available from the bsi website at .in response to orders for international standards, it is bsi policy to supply the bsi implementation of those that have been published as british standards, unless otherwise requested.information on standardsbsi provides a wide range of information on national, european and international standards through its library and its technical help to exporters service. various bsi electronic information services are also available which give details on all its products and ser
