Furniture - Assessment of the effect of light exposure
This document specifies a method for the assessment of the effects of light in indoor conditions, by exposure to artificial radiation and applies to rigid surfaces of all finished products regardless of material.
It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
The test is intended to be carried out on a part of the finished furniture, but can be carried out on test panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner to the finished product, and of a size sufficient to meet the requirements of the test.
This document describes the most important parameters, such as the colour change when a surface is exposed and specifies the conditions to be used in the exposure apparatus.
The light resistance of a surface can be assessed by using two apparatus as specified in Clause 4, one as a reference test method, and the other for in-company testing.
Möbel - Bestimmung der Lichtbeständigkeit von Oberflächen
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren für die Bewertung der Einwirkung von Licht durch künstliche Bestrahlung unter Wohnraumbedingungen fest und gilt für die starren Oberflächen aller Erzeugnisse mit Oberflächenbehandlung unabhängig vom Werkstoff.
Es gilt nicht für behandelte Oberflächen aus Leder und Textilien.
Die Prüfung ist im Allgemeinen an einem Teil des gebrauchsfertigen Möbels durchzuführen, kann aber auch an Prüfkörpern durchgeführt werden, die aus dem gleichen Werkstoff mit identischer Oberflächenbehandlung wie das fertige Erzeugnis bestehen und groß genug sind, um den Anforderungen der Prüfung zu entsprechen.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die wichtigsten Parameter, wie z. B. die Farbänderung, wenn eine Oberfläche bestrahlt wird, und legt die Bedingungen für das Bestrahlungsgerät fest.
Die Lichtbeständigkeit einer Oberfläche kann unter Verwendung von zwei verschiedenen Prüfgeräten nach Abschnitt 4 bewertet werden; ein Gerät wird für das Referenzprüfverfahren und das andere für die werksinterne Prüfung verwendet.
Ameublement - Evaluation de la tenue de la surface à la lumière
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’évaluation des effets de la lumière en conditions intérieures par exposition à des rayonnements artificiels et s’applique aux surfaces rigides de tous les produits finis quels que soient les matériaux qui les constituent.
Il ne s’applique pas aux finitions appliquées sur le cuir ou les textiles.
L’essai est destiné à être réalisé sur une partie du meuble fini mais il peut être effectué sur des panneaux d’essai constitués du même matériau, de finition identique au produit fini et de dimensions suffisantes pour satisfaire aux spécifications de l’essai.
Il convient de réaliser l’essai sur des surfaces non usées ou des surfaces qui n’ont pas été dégradées par la lumière.
Le présent document décrit les paramètres les plus importants comme le changement de couleur d’une surface lors de son exposition et précise les conditions d’utilisation de l’appareil d’exposition.
La tenue de la surface à la lumière peut être évaluée en utilisant deux appareils spécifiés à l’Article 4, l’un en tant que méthode d’essai de référence, l’autre étant destiné aux essais internes.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
• revised scope: surfaces that were not affected by light as additional specification for the test;
• normative references updated;
• revised Table 1 for general conditions for the apparatus with humidity control;
• revised Table 2 for general conditions for the apparatus without humidity control;
• new sub clauses: “Specimen holders”, “Deionized or distilled water”, “Cleansing solution”, “Cleansing
agent” added to Clause 5;
• revision of 7.3 “Duration”;
• revision of Clause 9 “Test report”;
• document editorially revised in its entirety.

1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the assessment of the effects of light in indoor conditions, by
exposure to artificial radiation and applies to rigid surfaces of all finished products regardless of material.
It does not apply to finishes on leather and fabrics.
The test is intended to be carried out on a part of the finished furniture, but can be carried out on test
panels of the same material, finished in an identical manner to the finished product, and of a size sufficient
to meet the requirements of the test.
The test should be carried out on unused surfaces or surfaces that were not affected by light.
This document describes the most important parameters, such as the colour change when a surface is
exposed and specifies the conditions to be used in the exposure apparatus.
The light resistance of a surface can be assessed by using two apparatus as specified in Clause 4, one as a
reference test method, and the other for in-company testing.

4 Principle
4.1 General
Accelerated exposure to light of furniture surfaces to filtered xenon-arc radiation is carried out in order
to assess the behaviour of the surface area and the degree of colour change. The properties of the surfaces
exposed are compared with those of masked, unexposed sections from the same test surface.
4.2 Choice of methods
The apparatus described in Clause 5.1 shall be used as a reference method in cases where the influence
of humidity cannot be excluded.
The apparatus described in Clause 5.2 can be used for in-company testing in cases where t
