The German FGSV guidelines [1] classify the UV-resistance, tested in the Global UV apparatus [2], and
define a maximum permissible exposure period (Tab. 1).
To compare laboratory and field data Trubiroha et al.
[3] carried out Global UV lab-tests and natural weathering
tests. Some results, together with data from von
Maubeuge [4], are shown in figure 1.
