To determinewhether there is an appreciable difference, suspend threesequential 8-ft (2.4-m) strips at eye level in a vertical position,as on the wall, under illumination between 100 to 150 f
12、c (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.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F15 onConsumer Products and is the direct responsi
