Ideally, the relative spectral irradiance produced by the device should be a very close match to that of solar radiation, especially in the short wavelength UV region. Annex A provides information about important benchmark solar spectra that can be used for comparing the spectral irradiance produced in the artificial accelerated exposure to that for solar radiation. 5.2.1.2 Exposure devices shall be designed such that the variation in irradiance at any location in the area used for specimen exposure shall not exceed ± 10 % of the mean. Procedures for measuring irradiance uniformity are found in Annex B. NOTE The irradiance uniformity in exposure devices depends on several factors. The configuration of the lamp with respect to the specimens on exposure, including the differences in distance between the lamp(s) and the samples can affect uniformity of exposure. Deposits which can develop on the optical system and chamber walls, and the type and number of specimens being exposed, can also have an affect on uniformity of exposure. 5.2.1.3 Periodic repositioning of the test specimens in the test chamber is recommended to ensure the most consistent results. 5.2.1.4 Follow the apparatus manufacturer’s Instructions for lamp and filter replacement. 5.2.1.4.1 Direct radiation from xenon burners contains considerable amounts of short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation not present in daylight. Optical filters shall be fitted to minimize short-wavelength light (less than 310 nm) in accordance with the requirements in Annex A. The xenon arc, when appropriately filtered, produces radiation with a spectral power distribution that is a good simulation of average daylight throughout the UV and visible region. 5.2.1.4.2 Infrared radiation levels can be attenuated by use of filters to allow some control of the sample temperature. 5.2.1.5 It is preferred that the apparatus should be fitted with an irradiance sensing system. The irradiance sensor (if fitted) shall be mounted so that it receives the same radiation as the specimen surface. If it is not positioned in the specimen plane, it shall be calibrated for...
