EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60721-2-4 testing. IEC EN 60721-2-4 offers a broad distinction according to the types of solar radiation fields. It is intended to be used as a part of the background material when selecting the appropriate solar radiation intensity for product applications. All types of geographical areas are covered, except areas above 5000 m altitude.
Solar radiation can affect products primarily through heating of the material and its surroundings or photochemical degradation of the material. Solar radiation, especially its ultraviolet content, causes photochemical degradation of most organic matter. Flexibility and plasticity of some rubber compounds and plastic materials are affected. Optical glass may become opaque.
Solar radiation in paints, textiles, papers, etc. bleaches colors. This can be important, for example, for the color coding of components. The heating of the material is a result of exposure to solar radiation. Therefore, the representation of solar radiation severity relates to the power density radiated towards a surface, or radiation expressed in W/m².
An object exposed to solar radiation will reach a temperature that primarily depends on the surrounding air temperature, the energy emitted from the Sun, and the angle of incidence of the radiation on the object. Other factors such as wind and heat conduction to mounting parts can also be important.
