Seeking Test Lab which can do 1440 Hour Accelerated Weathering Characteristics

[Ron Rompen]

Hi guys: Looking for some help from the membership here. We are a small shop, doing paint on plastic for automotive (ABS substrate, electrostatic paint), and are opening a new plant in the very near future. Some of our business is going to be transferred there, so I need to PPAP the changes.

One of my requirements is to test to the Nissan standard M5081-2010-N, specifically section AJ (1440 hr accelerated weathering characteristics). Can anyone recommend an accredited test lab, preferably in either the SW Ontario or Detroit area, which is capable of performing this test? I have already contacted Cambridge Materials Testing and Reliable Labs in Troy, but would like to have a few other options.

Thanks in advance
