ISO 4892-1:2016标准以“塑料—暴露于实验室光源的方法”为总标题，由以下部分组成：

第1部分：通则;

第2部分：氙弧灯;

第3部分：荧光紫外灯;

第4部分：开放式碳弧灯，紫外光老化试验箱。

ISO 4892-1:2016在后续部分详细描述了和暴露操作方法的选择有关的信息和指导。它还描述了用于将塑料暴露于实验室光源的设备的一般性能要求。有关人工加速风化或人造加速辐射装置生产性能要求的信息。

在ISO 4892的这一部分中，“光源”一词是指发出紫外线辐射、可见辐射、红外线辐射或这些辐射的任何组合的辐射源。

ISO 4892-1:2016还提供了从人工加速老化或人工加速辐射暴露数据的解释信息。在ISO 4582中给出了关于塑料暴露后的性能变化和报告这些结果变化的方法的更具体的信息。

ISO 4892-1:2016英文简介

ISO 4892-1:2016 provides information and general guidance relevant to the selection and operation of the methods of exposure described in detail in subsequent parts. It also describes general performance requirements for devices used for exposing plastics to laboratory light sources. Information regarding performance requirements is for producers of artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation devices.

NOTE In this part of ISO 4892, the term "light source" refers to radiation sources that emit UV radiation, visible radiation, infrared radiation or any combination of these types of radiation.

ISO 4892-1:2016 also provides information on the interpretation of data from artificial accelerated weathering or artificial accelerated irradiation exposures. More specific information about methods for determining the change in the properties of plastics after exposure and reporting these results is given in ISO 4582.
