Performance Requirements4.1 Optical Requirements:4.1.1 Luminance in a Test LaboratoryThe photopic lumi-nance of all three specimens of the photoluminescent marking,measured in compliance with Test Method E2073, shall be notless than: 20.0 mcd/m2at 10 min after ac

9、tivation has ceased;and 2.8 mcd/m2at 60 min after activation has ceased.5. Installation Site5.1 On-Site LuminanceThe photopic luminance of on-siteinstalled photoluminescent markings shall be measured incompliance with Test Method E2073. The on-site lighting shallbe used as activation. Markings must

10、be a minimum of 1-in.(25.4-mm) width. For markings of width W, the requiredphotopic luminance shall, at all times, be not less than:1500/W mcd/m2at 10 min after activation has ceased220/W mcd/m2at 60 min after activation has ceasedFor this calculation, the width W is measured in millimetres.Examples

CODE COMPLIANCEX1.1 When this standard is used to show compliance withcodes or standards, the manufacturer should have an agreementwith an organization

16、that is acceptable to the Authority HavingJurisdiction for follow-up factory inspection services.X2. LUMINANCE COMPARISON FOLLOWING DIFFERENT ILLUMINATION CONDITIONSX2.1 In 5.1, On-Site Luminance, Specification E2072requires luminance values at 10 and 60 min. after on-siteactivation has ceased. Thes

17、e values are to be measured at theinstallation site, following Test Method E2073.X2.2 Accomplishing the required luminance values de-pends on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, thetype of activating light source, the intensity of illumination(lx/fc) on the marking surface, the color

18、 temperature ofillumination (K, Kelvin), the length of illumination and theambient temperature, to mention a few factors.X2.3 How different the luminance results may be, depend-ing on changing illumination conditions, is shown in TableX2.1. The luminance values in the table are averages forrandomly

19、selected products. Results will vary for othersamples and other activation conditions.TABLE X2.1 Influence of Different Illumination Conditions on the LuminanceActivation ConditionsXenon1000 lx (92.9 fc);5 min;approx. 6500 KFluorescent21.6lx(2fc);120 min;4000 K 4500 KFluorescent10.8lx(1fc);60 min;40
