What is UV Testing?

Ultraviolet (UV) testing, also known as Ultraviolet Exposure, light fastness or accelerated weathering reproduces the damaging conditions of ultraviolet radiation in a controlled laboratory environment. The exposure conditions use a combination of UV, and sometimes humidity and water spray to test materials and components for light fastness and degradation. 

Any product that has exposure to light - whether constant exposure (such as through being outside) or intermittent (perhaps indoors or behind glass) should undergo some form of UV weathering testing. Issues resulting from exposure to UV radiation can include color loss, reduction in gloss levels, cracking, crazing, chalking, blistering, hazing, or complete product failure in relatively short periods. 

UV testing is often accompanied by other test methods post-exposure, such as adhesion, gloss, color, and strength testing.
