ISO 21348 Space environment Solar spectral irradiance definitions
The ISO 21348 standard provides a comprehensive framework for defining and measuring the solar spectrum as it would be received by an object in low Earth orbit (LEO) or beyond. This standard is crucial for industries that must ensure their products can withstand the harsh conditions of space, particularly those related to UV radiation.
Understanding the spectral irradiance at different wavelengths allows manufacturers to design materials and systems capable of withstanding the intense solar radiation in space environments. The standard defines specific conditions under which tests are conducted, ensuring that results are comparable across various laboratories around the world.
This service is essential for sectors like aerospace, defense, and satellite manufacturing where material durability and integrity are critical. It ensures that products meet stringent quality control standards by simulating real-world space conditions in a laboratory setting.
The testing process involves exposing samples to controlled light sources that mimic the solar spectrum as defined by ISO 21348. Specimens are then evaluated for changes in physical properties, such as colorfastness, UV stability, and overall durability. This service supports continuous improvement in product design and ensures compliance with international standards.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment to perform these tests, ensuring accurate and reliable results. The process begins with careful preparation of the sample, followed by exposure to the defined spectral irradiance conditions. Post-testing analysis includes detailed reporting on any changes observed in the specimen's properties.
ISO 21348 compliance is a testament to the robustness of your product and its ability to withstand space environments. By adhering to this standard, you can ensure that your products meet or exceed industry expectations for quality and reliability.
