The International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Third edition. 2007-08-15. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4582:1998), which has been technically revised. 24p. This International Standard describes procedures used to determine changes in colour and other appearance properties, and variations in mechanical or other properties, of plastics that have been exposed to daylight behind glass, to natural weathering or to light from a laboratory source. The procedure used to analyse data depends on whether the test used to characterize the materials being exposed is destructive or non-destructive. The exposures are conducted under conditions described in specific exposure standards
