Atlas’ participation in standards committees represents one of our most important and fundamental activities. The vast majority of our customers utilize common test methods that are pre-programmed into all of our current weathering test instruments. Most exposures conducted at our AWSG outdoor weathering test laboratories are performed in accordance with recognized test methods, and our quality accreditation to ISO 17025 is based on our competence and understanding of these standards.
We participate in myriad ASTM, ISO, AATCC, and SAE committees, many country standards organizations, as well as several industry standards organizations. We actively promote new methods to utilize the latest innovations and technology for the advancement of weathering science. We consult and cooperate with OEMs in many fields to develop test methods which best match end-use service environments in order to improve correlation and acceleration.
