English translation:weathering chamber
Explanation:
I think this is what you're looking for. 'Viellissement' can mean 'weathering' as well as 'ageing'.
Here's some info from a weathering chamber website:
The response and resistance of products to the effects of weathering is of concern in a wide variety of industries. Typical examples include automobiles (exterior finish, paint, upholstery, plastics, trims), fabrics (clothing, carpeting, wall coverings, outdoor furniture), building materials (lumber, roofing), architectural coatings (paint, vinyl siding), toys, bicycles, and camping equipment, to name just a few.
Weathering chambers can reproduce the effects of sunlight, humidity, heat, etc.
Good luck!
