And here is info about the other popular testing facility run/started 
by the Rochester Institute of Technology
http://www.imagepermanenceinstitute.org/sub_pages/8page17f.htm

Notice that they use even higher amounts of light. There is a company 
can't remember their name) that makes testing machines for this kind of 
work. They are (of course) trying to get their machine cetified as the 
standard machine/method to use by the various standards asociation 
(ISO, etc.). Their machine uses a Xenon lamp, with various filters and 
around 10000 LUX (I think, it's been a while since I read their papers).

On the Epson corporate web site, there are some brief pages explaining 
that they do their own in house testing, and there are a couple of 
pictures of their light testing box, and other atmospheric testing 
boxes. I forget the link, but I know it's there.

Then there is that blue wool test method, can't say that I've 
researched much of that process.
