What Is SGS Accelerated Weathering?
SGS accelerated weathering is a laboratory test that subjects foliage to intensified UV, heat and moisture cycles to predict colour-fastness. The 3-5 year outdoor figure quoted for artificial trees comes from this testing.
How to read the resultThe test compresses years of exposure into weeks by intensifying UV and moisture cycling. It is a comparative predictor of colour-fastness, not a warranty of a fixed service life in every climate.
Why buyers ask for itA resort owner replacing faded trees every season loses more than the trees cost. Test-backed foliage lets a specifier justify the choice to an owner on documents rather than a sales claim.

No. It is a test result for colour-fastness under accelerated conditions. Actual service life varies with exposure, and we state the test result rather than promising a fixed number of years.
Yes. Certification documentation is archived against your order number so it can be retrieved for the project file.
