Plastics - Methods of exposure to solar radiation - Part 3: Intensified weathering using concentrated solar radiation (ISO/DIS 877-3:2025)

ISO 877-3:2018 specifies a method for exposing plastics to concentrated solar radiation using reflecting concentrators to accelerate the weathering processes. The purpose is to assess property changes produced after specified stages of such exposures. The reflecting concentrators used in these exposures are sometimes referred to as "Fresnel reflectors" because in cross-section the array of mirrors used to concentrate the solar radiation resembles the cross-section of a Fresnel lens.
General guidance concerning the scope of the ISO 877 series is given in ISO 877‑1.
NOTE Additional information about solar concentrating exposures, including a partial list of standards in which they are specified, is given in the Bibliography.

Plastiques - Méthodes d'exposition au rayonnement solaire - Partie 3: Exposition intensifiée par rayonnement solaire concentré (ISO/DIS 877-3:2025)

ISO 877-3:2018 spécifie une méthode d'exposition des plastiques à un rayonnement solaire concentré à l'aide de concentrateurs réfléchissants pour accélérer le processus d'exposition aux intempéries. L'objectif consiste à évaluer les changements produits après des phases d'exposition spécifiées. Les concentrateurs réfléchissants utilisés dans ces essais d'exposition sont parfois désignés sous le nom de «miroirs de Fresnel» car, vu en coupe transversale, le jeu de miroirs utilisé pour concentrer le rayonnement solaire ressemble à la coupe transversale d'une lentille de Fresnel.
Des lignes directrices générales relatives au domaine d'application de la série ISO 877 sont données dans l'ISO 877‑1.
NOTE Des informations supplémentaires concernant les essais d'exposition à un rayonnement solaire concentré, y compris une liste partielle des normes dans lesquelles ils sont spécifiés, sont données dans la Bibliographie.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
