It also describes general performance requirements for devices used to expose paints and varnishes to laboratory light sources. Information on such performance requirements is requested only by manufacturers of artificial accelerated aging or artificial accelerated irradiation devices.

EN ISO 16474-1 also provides information on the interpretation of data from artificial accelerated weather exposures or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures.

Coatings made of paints, varnishes and similar materials are generally used outdoors or indoors where they are exposed to the sun's rays or the sun's rays behind glass for a long time. Therefore, it is very important to determine the effects of solar radiation, heat, humidity and other climatic stresses on the color and other properties of polymers.
