AS 3706.11-2004 sets out a method for determining the durability of geotextiles when subjected to degradation by artificial light and heat.

This Standard sets out a method for determining the durability of geotextiles when subjected to degradation by artificial light and heat. NOTES: 1 As the artificial light source produces heat, it is expedient to combine the tests for these two agencies of degradation. 2 If the product is subjected to prolonged high temperatures, a separate oven-ageing method may be more suitable for testing resistance to degradation due to heat.
