Outdoor exposure racks and accelerated chambers are the two main methods for testing materials for weathering durability.

The emphasis has therefore been placed on accelerated laboratory testing to provide data on the long-term outdoor durability of many products. In many cases now, outdoor exposure is not even performed or required.
