Samples are exposed to filtered open flame carbon arc light under controlled conditions (temperature, humidity and/or wetting). Different types of filters are used to simulate direct exposure to the environment or exposure through window glass.

Sample preparation and evaluation of results are covered in other International Standards for certain materials.

Open flame carbon arc exposures for plastics are described in ISO 4892-4.

Coatings of paints, varnishes and similar materials (hereinafter simply referred to as coatings) are exposed to laboratory light sources to simulate aging processes that occur in the laboratory during natural weather conditions or behind window glass.
