QUV-B - Test according to ASTM G 154 - 06
This method is intended to reproduce the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed to sunlight (either directly or through window glass) and moisture in the form of rain or dew in actual use.
The test specimens are exposed to defined UV radiation under controlled environmental conditions.
