What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN 13523-10:2017 supersedes BS EN 13523-10:2010. BS EN 13523-10:2017 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 13523-10:2010. These include:

The distance of the test specimen to the lamps is device-specific and not necessary for carrying out the test; so, the requirement to expose the face of the test specimens at about 50 mm from the nearest surface of the lamp has been deleted
A remark on the repositioning of the specimens during exposure has been added
A remark on removing or re-arranging the test panels during the process has been added
The text has been editorially revised and the normative references have been updated
