Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard specifies the operating procedures for the
exposure of automotive interior trim materials in an outdoor behind
glass apparatus in which the temperature is controlled for part of
the day.
Specimen preparation, test durations, and performance evaluation
procedures are covered in material specifications of the different
automotive manufacturers.
Rationale—SAE J2229 is being withdrawn as this
standard is no longer used by industry. This has also been reported
by major outdoor weathering contract testing sites. At one time,
certain automotive OEM's were using SAE J2229 but have now chosen
to use other outdoor weathering methods for their testing
needs.
