Applied Technical Services conducts UV light tests in compliance with UV aging testing standards and regulations.
What is UV Aging Testing?
UV aging testing is an accelerated aging process where manufacturers can observe how quickly a material degrades when subjected to varying levels of UV radiation for extended periods. UV chambers mimic the sun’s effect on materials, which provides insight into a product’s resistance to UV degradation.

The Important of UV Age Testing
UV age testing is essential in determining the longevity and durability of various products, especially those exposed to sunlight and UV radiation. UV testing helps manufacturers assess their product’s quality and safety. UV age testing helps manufacturers ensure product quality and reliability.
Sunlight and UV radiation can cause materials to degrade, fade, or weaken over time. By exposing products to UV radiation in controlled conditions, manufacturers can identify potential weaknesses and areas that need improvement, leading to longer-lasting, more reliable products.
UV age testing helps assess safety. UV-induced degradation can compromise the reliability and performance of various products, such as outdoor furniture, automotive components, and medical devices. UV age testing enables manufacturers to make necessary changes to improve their products’ safety and resistance to UV degradation.
