4.3 Light source box
4.3.1 General
The box shall meet the following requirements:
Annex A
(normative)
Grading of the degree of discoloration of the specimen
A.1 Principle
Measure the original specimen and the tested specimen. The test area is manually
selected by the operator or automatically selected by the software. Use CIEDE2000 to
calculate color difference. It is converted into a color-changing gray card level through
the formula.
A.2 Terms and definitions
A.2.1 original specimen
The reference sample for evaluating discoloration specified in GB/T 6151.
A.2.2 tested specimen
The specimen undergone the color fastness test.
A.2.3 uniform coloured area
The test area of the tested specimen is uniform in color.
NOTE: In this definition, the texture, gloss or other characteristics of the specimen that may affect
the visual effect of color can be ignored.
A.2.4 non-uniform coloured area
The test area of the tested specimen is not uniform in color.
NOTE: In this definition, the texture, gloss or other characteristics of the specimen that may affect
the visual effect of color can be ignored.
A.2.5 multi-coloured test specimen
Contain multiple colors within the test area of the specimen.
A.3 Instruments
Digital imaging devices shall be validated, calibrated or calibrated as described in
Chapter 4 and Annex C.
A.4 Specimen preparation
Annex B
(normative)
Evaluation of the degree of staining of the specimen
B.1 Principle
Measure original and post-tested linings. Calculate color difference according to
CIEDE2000. Convert it to a stained gray card grade through a calculation formula.
B.2 Instruments
Digital imaging devices shall be validated and calibrated as described in Chapter 4 and
Annex C.
B.3 Specimens
The original lining and the post-tested lining shall be fixed on white paper or card that
is visually uniform and free of fluorescence and opacity. Measure and store the data of
the original lining first. It is then compared to the test data of the post-tested lining. The
lining specimens within a calibration cycle shall be the same batch of standard lining
fabrics.
B.4 Procedures
B.4.1 Monochrome specimen
B.4.1.1 Measure the color of the original lining. For multifiber lining, the color of each
composition shall be measured separately. It is also possible to use the stored raw data
of standard lining. But it shall belong to the same batch of standard lining fabrics. Then
measure the color of the post-tested lining of the same composition.
B.4.1.2 For uniform coloured area, calculate the arithmetic mean. If the staining on the
lining is non-uniform, by mutual agreement, measure the areas with the most severe
color change. In this case, the areas with the most severe color changes are selected by
the "operator-selected area" (3.5) method, rather than all test areas. The use of this
method is noted in the report.
B.4.2 Multi-coloured test specimens
For each colour of the multi-coloured test specimen, repeat the test procedures for the
monochromatic specimen according to B.4.1. Test results for each color need to be
reported separately.
If the different colors of the specimen are stained with each other, then in accordance
Annex C
(normative)
Verification chart
C.1 Purpose
The verification chart is to convert the RGB value of the image captured by the digital
camera into the CIEXYZ value, so as to facilitate the measurement of the color of the
image.
C.2 Number of colors in verification chart
The verification chart shall be composed of at least 150 color blocks of different colors,
so as to ensure the measurement accuracy within the CIE color space.
C.3 Color reference measurement of verification chart
Use a spectrophotometer (diffuse: 8°, including specular component) to measure the
color of each color patch in the verification chart. The measuring instrument shall be
maintained at least once a year in accordance with the instructions of the instrument. Its
performance shall be checked by a series of reference materials. These reference
materials shall be certified and calibrated. The reflectance values are traceable to
national standards.
C.4 Measurement data of verification chart
The reflectance data of each color block is recorded and stored in the system software
as reference data for each camera calibration.
After each periodic maintenance of the instrument, or after using a new calibration color
card, new spectral data shall be replaced.
C.5 Requirements for verification chart
Before cutting each color block in the chart, its color shall be measured to ensure the
accuracy of chart verification.
The size of each color block shall meet the requirements of the measurement software
to measure each color. Generally, about 10mm×10mm is more suitable.
When installing the color block on the chart template, care shall be taken to avoid
contamination or damage to the surface color.
Each color block shall be separated by a black border. Adhere a layer of stencil to the
