Standard Specification for Color and Appearance Retention of Variegated Color Plastic Siding Products

ASTM International

Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2006

Scope:

This specification establishes requirements and test methods for the color and appearance retention of variegated color plastic siding products.

Color retention testing provides a method for estimating the acceptability of color change in a siding product over a period of years of service.

Characterization of color and appearance for variegated colors is complicated by the presence of multiple colors in a random pattern. The procedure is based on using a template to reference 6 spots for color measurement.

Methods of indicating compliance with this specification are provided.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
