This test method specifies the operating procedures for a controlled irradiance, water-cooled xenon arc apparatus used for the accelerated exposure of various automotive exterior materials.
This standard is limited to the models of xenon arc test apparatus specified in the Section on Apparatus.
All other models of xenon arc test apparatus must use SAE J2527 to perform the test conditions specified in SAE J1960. SAE J2527 is the performance standard based on the test parameters of SAE J1960. Use of xenon arc test apparatus to perform SAE J2527 must be agreed upon by contractual parties.
Rationale
The SAE Committee on Textiles and Flexible Plastics Specifications is cancelling SAE J1960 due to the fact it is equipment specific, and will be superseded by SAE J2527, on or about January 2008, per the policy outlined in TSB (Technical Standards Board) of SAE.
The Textile and Flexible Plastics Committee/IFAI is comprised of the Automotive Materials Association, whose members are recognized as industry leaders committed to the growth of the automotive industry. The activities of the association center on: ¿ the development and harmonization of standards and test methods ¿ cooperation with international standards organizations ¿ education and promotion of standards, test methods and new technologies Participants in the SAE Textile and Flexible Plastics Committee/IFAI include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government and other interested parties.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
