The objective of these tests is to predict the behaviour of ABC accessories when subjected to sun radiation, to weather conditions (humidity, spraying water, heat, cold) and pollution. EN 50483‑1, EN 50483‑2, EN 50483‑3 and EN 50483‑4 specify which type tests included in this part of the standard are needed.
