ASTM International has recently announced the publication of ASTM G224, Standard Practice for Operating UVC Lamp Apparatus for Exposure of Materials. This is the first international standard to outline the basic principles for operating test instruments to evaluate the durability of materials exposed to UVC light.

Q-Lab led the development of this standard, which provides users a comprehensive reference for conducting UVC exposure laboratory testing.

The team responsible for developing the standard was led by Sean Fowler, Senior Technical Director at Q-Lab. This work was a collaborative effort under ASTM G03.03, the Simulated and Controlled Exposure Tests subcommittee of ASTM’s Weathering and Durability committee. Q-Lab President and COO Brad Reis was recently named Chair of the G03.03 subcommittee, and was deeply involved in the standard’s development and approval process. Other collaborative members included Atlas Material Testing, Solar Light Co., UL, Sabic Innovative Plastics, and many others.
