Spectral reflectance data shall be determined on the face side and shall be obtained from 600 to 860 nm respectively, at 20 nm intervals on a spectrophotometer relative to a barium sulfate standard, the preferred white standard. Other white reference materials m
40、ay be used, provided they are calibrated to absolute white; e+, magnesium oxide, or vitrolite tiles. The spectral band width at 860 nm shall be less than 26 nm. Reflectance measurements shall be made by either the monochromatic or polychromatic mode of operation. When the polychromatic mode is used,
41、 the spectrophotometer shall operate with the specimen diffusely illuminated with the full emission of a continuous source that simulates either CIE Source A or CIE Source D65. The specimen shall be measured as a single layer backed with two layers of the same fabric and shade. Measurements shall be
42、 taken on a minimum of two different areas, and the data averaged. The measurement areas should be at least 6 inches away from the edges of the finished cloth. The specimen shall be viewed at an angle no greater than 10“ from normal, with the specular component included. Photometric accuracy of the
43、spectrophotometer shall be within 1 percent and wavelength accuracy within 2 nm. The standard aperture size used in the color measurement device shall be 1 .O to 1.25 inches in diameter. Any color having spectral reflectance values falling outside the limits at four or more of the wavelengths specif
44、ied in 3.5 shall be considered a test failure. 4.4.13 Pattern execution. The pattern on the cloth shall be matched to the pattern drawing (see 6.4). 4.4.14 Toxicity assessment. The cloth shall be tested for toxicity as follows: a) Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, 1994 Edition; Section 798.4100
