Measure color as defined in Note 1 below. E 3.0 max. No objectionable defects allowed. Accelerated Weather Resistance Note 2 Color Change Surface Defects 2500 kJ/m2 exposure to exterior xenon arc apparatus per SAE J1960. Measure color as defined in Note 1 below. E 3.0 max. No objectionable defects allowed. Note 1: For integrally colored compounds, the color of each test specimen shall be measured per SAE J1545, CIELAB color space, 10° observer, illuminant D65, specular included, sphere geometry, before and after exposures. In case of conflict between accelerated and natural weathering, natural weathering takes precedent. Prior to making measurements and observations on weathered specimens, wash the specimens with a solution consisting of 2 g No 7 Car Wash Concentrate (distributed by Armor All Products, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656) and 1 L deionized water 22 ± 3°C. Use a soft sponge saturated with the solution and scrub the samples with a firm action. Note 2: In case of conflict between accelerated weathering and natural weathering, natural weathering results take precedence. 6 Approved Sources Engineering qualifications of an approved source is required for this specification.
