What is the UV Test Standard / Practices ?

UV sun exposure can be done through direct exposure (i.e. outdoor exposure) or the impact of sun exposure through glass (i.e. indoor exposure).  There are many test methods and two main practices for accelerated ultraviolet testing. Among others,  Micom offers UV testing services to the following test methods and practices as well as many others:
