Defines values for the electrical impedance of the body of livestock as a function of the touch voltage, the degree of moisture of the hide or skin and the current path. At this time values are only available for cattle. Describes the effects of sinusoidal alternating current within the frequency range from 15 Hz to 100 Hz passing through the body of livestock.

This part of ISO 877 provides information and general guidance on the selection and use of the methods of exposure to solar radiation described in detail in subsequent parts of ISO 877. These methods of exposure to solar radiation are applicable to plastics materials of all kinds as well as to products and portions of products.

It also specifies methods for determining radiant exposure.

It does not include direct weathering using black-box test fixtures, which simulate higher end-use temperatures in some applications.

NOTE ASTM G 7 [1] and ASTM D 4141 [2] describe black-box exposure tests.
