These variances must beclearly stated in writing at the point of purchase. To determinewhether there is an appreciable difference, suspend threesequential 8-f
11、t (2.4-m) strips at eye level in a vertical position,as on the wall, under illumination between 100 to 150 fc (1000to 1500 lx), and view the strips from a distance between 4 and8 ft (1.2 and 2.4 m). An appreciable difference is one which isnoticeable when one strip is compared with the others.5. Wal
