CONTAINED IN VOL. 06.02, 2018 Defines a method for exposing specimens of colored art materials indoors to sunlight coming through a closed window.

1.3 This practice is not suitable for evaluating the lightfastness of materials with a high oil content such as artists' oil, resin-oil or alkyd paints.

1.4 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.
