Nylon Bolt Accelerated Testing

[CVPEngineering]

My boss has requested that we replace a steel bolt with a nylon bolt. The nylon bolt will be used in an outdoor application where it will be subjected to many pulling forces, and different environments all across North America. Is there an accelerated weathering test standard that I can reference to have this idea tested against?

Can you even put sufficient torque on the nylon bolt at installation?

TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
