Normative reference: EN 13206:2001
Film duration: determined following the procedure set forth by the normative reference EN13206, exposing plastic film in suitable devices equipped with specific lamps (which emit a radiation similar to that of the sun).
To determine film duration, the adopted criterion only considers material degradation obtained in a laboratory through accelerated artificial ageing (Weather-o-meter or Wom).
The duration of a covering material is proportional to the period of exposure to the artificial ageing beyond which mechanical properties are considered no longer efficient.
