Paper and board — Determination of CIE whiteness, C/2 degrees (indoor illumination conditions)

ISO 11476:2010 specifies the procedure to be used for determining the CIE whiteness of papers and boards, in order to obtain values which correspond to the visual appearance of white papers and boards, with or without fluorescent whitening agents, when they are viewed indoors. It is based on radiance factor data obtained over the full visible spectral range (VIS) in contrast to the measurement of ISO brightness, which is limited to the blue region of VIS. ISO 11476:2010 also specifies the procedures for the determination of CIE tint values and the fluorescent component of CIE whiteness. In addition, it specifies a method for adjustment of the UV content to correspond to that of CIE illuminant C, since the results obtained when fluorescent whitening agents are present are dependent upon the UV content of the radiation falling upon the sample. The CIE illuminant C is taken to be representative of indoor illumination conditions because it contains a suitable proportion of UV radiation. This method is not applicable to coloured papers containing fluorescent dyes. It is specific to the situation where the fluorescence occurs in the blue region of the visible spectral range. ISO 11476:2010 is read in conjunction with ISO 2469.

Papier et carton — Détermination du degré de blanc CIE C/2 degrés (éclairage intérieur)

L'ISO 11476:2010 spécifie le mode opératoire à utiliser pour déterminer le degré de blanc CIE des papiers et cartons afin d'obtenir des valeurs correspondant à l'aspect visuel des papiers et cartons blancs, avec ou sans agents d'azurage fluorescents, lorsqu'ils sont observés à l'intérieur. Elle est fondée sur des valeurs de facteur de luminance énergétique obtenues pour toute l'étendue du spectre visible, contrairement au mesurage du degré de blancheur ISO qui est limité à la région bleue du spectre visible. L'ISO 11476:2010 spécifie également les modes opératoires permettant de déterminer les valeurs de teinte CIE et la composante de fluorescence du degré de blanc CIE. En outre, elle spécifie une méthode permettant de régler la teneur en UV afin qu'elle corresponde à celle de l'illuminant CIE C, puisque les valeurs obtenues lorsque des agents d'azurage fluorescents sont présents dépendent de la teneur en UV du rayonnement arrivant sur l'échantillon. L'illuminant CIE C est considéré comme étant représentatif des conditions d'éclairage intérieur puisqu'il contient une quantité adéquate de rayonnement UV. Cette méthode ne convient pas aux papiers de couleur contenant des colorants fluorescents. Elle est spécifique au cas où la fluorescence intervient dans la région bleue de l'étendue du spectre visible. L'ISO 11476:2010 s'utilise conjointement avec l'ISO 2469.

Papir, karton in lepenka - Določanje beline po CIE, C/2° (pogoji osvetlitve v prostoru)

Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje postopek, ki se uporablja za določanje beline papirjev, kartonov in lepenk po CIE, z namenom pridobiti vrednosti, ki ustrezajo videzu vrst belega papirja, kartona, lepenka, s fluorescenčnimi belilnimi sredstvi ali brez njih, pri ogledu v prostoru. Temelji na podatkih o faktorju odsevnosti, pridobljenih čez celotno vidno območje spektra (VIS), v nasprotju z merjenjem beline po ISO, ki je omejena na modro področje VIS. Ta mednarodni standard tudi opredeljuje postopke za določanje vrednosti odtenka CIE in fluorescenčne komponente beline po CIE.
Poleg tega opredeljuje metodo za prilagoditev vsebnosti UV, da ustreza vrsti svetlobe CIE C [10][11], ker so rezultati, pridobljeni v prisotnosti fluorescenčnih belilnih sredstev, odvisni od vsebnosti UV sevanja, ki pada na vzorec. Vrsta svetlobe CIE C je vzeta kot reprezentativna za pogoje osvetlitve v prostoru, ker vsebuje primeren delež sevanja UV [12][13]. Ta metoda se ne uporablja za obarvane papirje, ki vsebujejo fluorescenčna barvila. Velja posebej za situacije, kjer se fluorescenca pojavi v modrem področju vidnega območja spektra.
Ta mednarodni standard se bere skupaj z ISO 2469.
OPOMBA 1: Znano je, da je bila enačba beline po CIE razvita v kontekstu standardne vrste svetlobe CIE D65 [6], a podobnost med krivuljami moči relativnega spektra za vrste svetlobe C in D65 v vidnem območju, in bližina njihovih povezanih barvnih temperatur (6 770 K in 6 500 K v tem vrstnem redu) se upoštevajo kot utemeljitev za uporabo analogne enačbe beline z vrsto svetlobe CIE C.
OPOMBA 2: Povezan mednarodni standard ISO 11475 [4] opredeljuje postopek za pridobivanje vrednosti, ki ustrezajo videzu papirjev pod standardno vrsto svetlobe CIE D65.

3.7
fluorescence component
W
F
measure of the extent to which the CIE whiteness of the material is affected by excitation of the added
fluorescent whitening agent (FWA) under the conditions specified in this International Standard
4 Principle
The diffuse radiance factor of the material is determined under standardized conditions after adjustment of the
instrument so that the relative UV content of the illumination corresponds to that of the CIE illuminant C, and
the CIE whiteness and tint are calculated. The fluorescence component of the CIE whiteness is calculated
from the difference between the diffuse radiance factor value and the value obtained when the fluorescence
emission from the material is eliminated, for instance by the introduction into the light beams of a sharp-cut-off
UV-absorbing filter.
5 Apparatus and equipment
5.1 Reflectometer or spectrophotometer, having the geometric, spectral and photometric characteristics
described in ISO 2469, calibrated in accordance with the provisions of ISO 2470-1, and equipped with a
radiation source having an adequate UV content and a means of adjusting the relative UV content so that the
measured ISO brightness value agrees with the ISO brightness value assigned to a fluorescent reference
standard (5.2.2) and corresponding to the CIE illuminant C (References [7], [8] and [11] in the Bibliography). If
a filter (the UV-adjustment filter) is used to make this adjustment, it shall have a cut-off value of 395 nm so
that it absorbs UV radiation but does not, at the same time, alter the visible spectrum within the sphere.
NOTE In order to achieve concordance between the conditions for measuring both ISO brightness and CIE
whiteness (C/2°), an adjustment based on a fluorescent reference standard (5.2.2) having an assigned ISO brightness
value is preferred.
For the measurement of reflectance factors with the fluorescence effect eliminated, the instrument shall be
equipped with a sharp-cut-off, UV-absorbing filter (the UV cut-off filter) having a transmittance not exceeding
5,0 % at and below a wavelength of 410 nm and not exceeding 50 % at a wavelength of 420 nm. The cut-off
filter shall have characteristics such that a repeatable reflectance factor value is obtained at 420 nm. The
reflectance factor value obtained at 420 nm shall then be considered for computational purposes to be the
value which applies at all lower wavelengths, at which it is not possible to make any measurement.
For the measurement of fluorescent papers, photometric linearity up to a scale reading of at least 200 % is
necessary in the wavelength region corresponding to the fluorescent emission.
5.1.1 In the case of a filter reflectometer, pairs of filters giving the photoelectric detectors of the
reflectometer responses equivalent to the CIE tristimulus values X, Y, Z of the test piece (Reference [7] in the
Bibliography), evaluated for the CIE illuminant C (Reference [8] in the Bibliography) and CIE 1931 (2°)
observer (Reference [5] in the Bibliography).
5.1.2 In the case of an abridged spectrophotometer, a means of calculating the weighted means in
accordance with the requirements of the CIE illuminant C and CIE 1931 (2°) observer using the weighting
functions given in Annex A.
5.2 Reference standards for calibration of the instrument and working standards
5.2.1 Non-fluorescent reference standard for calibration, fulfilling the requirements for ISO reference
standards of level 3, as specified in ISO 2470-1.
5.2.2 Fluorescent reference standard for use in adjusting the UV content of the radiation incident upon the
sample, having an assigned ISO brightness value, as specified in Annex B, and fulfilling the requirements for
ISO reference standards of level 3, as specified in ISO 2470-1.
Use new reference standards sufficiently frequently to ensure satisfactory calibration and UV adjustment.

ISO 11476:2010(E)
5.3 Working standards
5.3.1 Two plates of flat opal glass or ceramic material, cleaned as described in ISO 2469.
5.3.2 A stable plastic or other tablet incorporating a fluorescent whitening agent.
5.4 Black cavity, having a reflectance factor which does not differ from its nominal value by more than
0,2 % at all wavelengths. The black cavity should be stored upside down in a dust-free environment or with a
protective cover.
The condition of the black cavity should be checked by reference to the instrument maker.
6 Calibration
6.1 Using the values assigned to the non-fluorescent reference standard (5.2.1), calibrate the instrument
with the UV cut-off filters removed from the radiation beams. The setting of the UV-adjustment filter is not
important at this stage.
6.2 Using the appropriate measurement procedure, measure the reflectance of the fluorescent reference
standard (5.2.2), determine the ISO brightness value as specified in ISO 2470-1 and compare the value
obtained with that assigned to the fluorescent reference standard.
A measured ISO brightness value higher than the assigned value indicates that the relative UV content of the
illumination is too high and a lower value indicates that the relative UV content is too low.
6.3 Using the UV-adjustment filter or other adjustment device, adjust the UV content of the illumination until
measurement gives the correct ISO brightness value.
6.4 Repeat the calibration as described in 6.1 using the non-fluorescent standard (5.2.1) with the UV
adjustment in the position which gave the correct ISO brightness value for the fluorescent reference standard.
Repeat the measurement of the brightness of the fluorescent standard (5.2.2) as described in 6.2. If the ISO
brightness value obtained does not agree with the assigned value, adjust the position of the UV adjustment
filter or other adjustment device until the measurement gives the correct ISO brightness value as described in
6.3.
6.5 Repeat the procedure described in 6.4 until the correct value for the ISO brightness of the fluorescent
standard (5.2.2) is obtained with the instrument correctly calibrated to the non-fluorescent standard (5.2.1).
The UV content is now correctly adjusted with respect to brightness to a relative UV content equivalent to the
CIE illuminant C. Record the setting of the UV adjustment.
NOTE 1 This setting means that the illumination in the instrument corresponds to the CIE illuminant C for ISO
brightness measurement and it will give acceptable agreement for CIE whiteness (C/2°). Variations in the green/red tint
value might still arise and it cannot be assumed that the tristimul

measure of the extent to which the CIE whiteness of the material is affected by excitation of the added
fluorescent whitening agent (FWA) under the conditions specified in this International Standard
4 Principle
The diffuse radiance factor of the material is determined under standardized conditions after adjustment of the
instrument so that the relative UV content of the illumination corresponds to that of the CIE illuminant C, and
the CIE whiteness and tint are calculated. The fluorescence component of the CIE whiteness is calculated
from the difference between the diffuse radiance factor value and the value obtained when the fluorescence
emission from the material is eliminated, for instance by the introduction into the light beams of a sharp-cut-off
UV-absorbing filter.
5 Apparatus and equipment
5.1 Reflectometer or spectrophotometer, having the geometric, spectral and photometric characteristics
described in ISO 2469, calibrated in accordance with the provisions of ISO 2470-1, and equipped with a
radiation source having an adequate UV content and a means of adjusting the relative UV content so that the
measured ISO brightness value agrees with the ISO brightness value assigned to a fluorescent reference
standard (5.2.2) and corresponding to the CIE illuminant C (References [7], [8] and [11] in the Bibliography). If
a filter (the UV-adjustment filter) is used to make this adjustment, it shall have a cut-off value of 395 nm so
that it absorbs UV radiation but does not, at the same time, alter the visible spectrum within the sphere.
NOTE In order to achieve concordance between the conditions for measuring both ISO brightness and CIE
whiteness (C/2°), an adjustment based on a fluorescent reference standard (5.2.2) having an assigned ISO brightness
value is preferred.
For the measurement of reflectance factors with the fluorescence effect eliminated, the instrument shall be
equipped with a sharp-cut-off, UV-absorbing filter (the UV cut-off filter) having a transmittance not exceeding
5,0 % at and below a wavelength of 410 nm and not exceeding 50 % at a wavelength of 420 nm. The cut-off
filter shall have characteristics such that a repeatable reflectance factor value is obtained at 420 nm. The
reflectance factor value obtained at 420 nm shall then be considered for computational purposes to be the
value which applies at all lower wavelengths, at which it is not possible to make any measurement.
For the measurement of fluorescent papers, photometric linearity up to a scale reading of at least 200 % is
necessary in the wavelength region corresponding to the fluorescent emission.
5.1.1 In the case of a filter reflectometer, pairs of filters giving the photoelectric detectors of the
reflectometer responses equivalent to the CIE tristimulus values X, Y, Z of the test piece (Reference [7] in the
Bibliography), evaluated for the CIE illuminant C (Reference [8] in the Bibliography) and CIE 1931 (2°)
observer (Reference [5] in the Bibliography).
5.1.2 In the case of an abridged spectrophotometer, a means of calculating the weighted means in
accordance with the requirements of the CIE illuminant C and CIE 1931 (2°) observer using the weighting
functions given in Annex A.
5.2 Reference standards for calibration of the instrument and working standards
5.2.1 Non-fluorescent reference standard for calibration, fulfilling the requirements for ISO reference
standards of level 3, as specified in ISO 2470-1.
5.2.2 Fluorescent reference standard for use in adjusting the UV content of the radiation incident upon the
sample, having an assigned ISO brightness value, as specified in Annex B, and fulfilling the requirements for
ISO reference standards of level 3, as specified in ISO 2470-1.
Use new reference standards sufficiently frequently to ensure satisfactory calibration and UV adjustment.

5.3 Working standards
5.3.1 Two plates of flat opal glass or ceramic material, cleaned as described in ISO 2469.
5.3.2 A stable plastic or other tablet incorporating a fluorescent whitening agent.
5.4 Black cavity, having a reflectance factor which does not differ from its nominal value by more than
0,2 % at all wavelengths. The black cavity should be stored upside down in a dust-free environment or with a
protective cover.
The condition of the black cavity should be checked by reference to the instrument maker.
6 Calibration
6.1 Using the values assigned to the non-fluorescent reference standard (5.2.1), calibrate the instrument
with the UV cut-off filters removed from the radiation beams. The setting of the UV-adjustment filter is not
important at this stage.
6.2 Using the appropriate measurement procedure, measure the reflectance of the fluorescent reference
standard (5.2.2), determine the ISO brightness value as specified in ISO 2470-1 and compare the value
obtained with that assigned to the fluorescent reference standard.
A measured ISO brightness value higher than the assigned value indicates that the relative UV content of the
illumination is too high and a lower value indicates that the relative UV content is too low.
6.3 Using the UV-adjustment filter or other adjustment device, adjust the UV content of the illumination until
measurement gives the correct ISO brightness value.
6.4 Repeat the calibration as described in 6.1 using the non-fluorescent standard (5.2.1) with the UV
adjustment in the position which gave the correct ISO brightness value for the fluorescent reference standard.
Repeat the measurement of the brightness of the fluorescent standard (5.2.2) as described in 6.2. If the ISO
brightness value obtained does not agree with the assigned value, adjust the position of the UV adjustment
filter or other adjustment device until the measurement gives the correct ISO brightness value as described in
6.3.
6.5 Repeat the procedure described in 6.4 until the correct value for the ISO brightness of the fluorescent
standard (5.2.2) is obtained with the instrument correctly calibrated to the non-fluorescent standard (5.2.1).
The UV content is now correctly adjusted with respect to

© ISO 2010 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 11476 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 6, Paper, board and pulps. It is based on the CIE whiteness formula, published in CIE 15:2004, Colorimetry. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11476:2000), which has been technically revised to include the option to condition samples before measurements.

1 Paper and board — Determination of CIE whiteness, C/2° (indoor illumination conditions) 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the procedure to be used for determining the CIE whiteness of papers and boards, in order to obtain values which correspond to the visual appearance of white papers and boards, with or without fluorescent whitening agents, when they are viewed indoors. It is based on radiance factor data obtained over the full visible spectral range (VIS) in contrast to the measurement of ISO brightness, which is limited to the blue region of VIS. This International Standard also specifies the procedures for the determination of CIE tint values and the fluorescent component of CIE whiteness. In addition, it specifies a method for adjustment of the UV content to correspond to that of CIE illuminant C [10][11], since the results obtained when fluorescent whitening agents are present are dependent upon the UV content of the radiation falling upon the sample. The CIE illuminant C is taken to be representative of indoor illumination conditions because it contains a suitable proportion of UV radiation [12][13]. This method is not applicable to coloured papers containing fluorescent dyes. It is specific to the situation where the fluorescence occurs in the blue region of the visible spectral range. This International Standard is read in conjunction with ISO 2469. NOTE 1 It is recognized that the CIE whiteness equation was developed in the context of the CIE standard illuminant D65 [6], but the similarity between the relative spectral power curves for the C and D65 illuminants within the visible region and the closeness of their correlated colour temperatures (6 770 K and 6 500 K respectively) are taken as a justification for the use of the analogous whiteness equation with the CIE illuminant C. NOTE 2 A related International Standard, ISO 11475 [4] specifies the procedure for obtaining values corresponding to the appearance of papers viewed under the CIE standard illuminant D65. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 11476 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 6, Papiers, cartons et pâtes. Elle est fondée sur
la formule du degré de blanc CIE, donnée dans la CIE 15:2004, Colorimétrie.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition (ISO 11476:2000), qui a fait l'objet d'une

Papier et carton — Détermination du degré de blanc CIE C/2°
(éclairage intérieur)
1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme internationale spécifie le mode opératoire à utiliser pour déterminer le degré de blanc CIE
des papiers et cartons afin d'obtenir des valeurs correspondant à l'aspect visuel des papiers et cartons blancs,
avec ou sans agents d'azurage fluorescents, lorsqu'ils sont observés à l'intérieur. Elle est fondée sur des
valeurs de facteur de luminance énergétique obtenues pour toute l'étendue du spectre visible, contrairement
au mesurage du degré de blancheur ISO qui est limité à la région bleue du spectre visible. La présente Norme
internationale spécifie également les modes opératoires permettant de déterminer les valeurs de teinte CIE et
la composante de fluorescence du degré de blanc CIE.
En outre, elle spécifie une méthode permettant de régler la teneur en UV afin qu'elle corresponde à celle de
[10][11]
l'illuminant CIE C , puisque les valeurs obtenues lorsque des agents d'azurage fluorescents sont
présents dépendent de la teneur en UV du rayonnement arrivant sur l'échantillon. L'illuminant CIE C est
considéré comme étant représentatif des conditions d'éclairage intérieur puisqu'il contient une quantité
[12][13]
adéquate de rayonnement UV . Cette méthode ne convient pas aux papiers de couleur contenant des
colorants fluorescents. Elle est spécifique au cas où la fluorescence intervient dans la région bleue de
l'étendue du spectre visible.
La présente Norme internationale s'utilise conjointement avec l'ISO 2469.
NOTE 1 Il est reconnu que l'équation du degré de blanc CIE a été développée dans le contexte de l'illuminant
[6]
normalisé CIE D65 , mais la similarité entre les courbes de puissance spectrale relative pour les illuminants C et D65
dans le visible et la proximité des températures de couleur correspondantes (6 770 K et 6 500 K respectivement) sont
considérées comme justifiant l'utilisation de l'équation analogue de degré de blanc avec l'illuminant CIE C.

NOTE 2 Une Norme internationale apparentée, l'ISO 11475 , spécifie le mode opératoire pour obtenir les valeurs
correspondant à l'aspect de papiers observés sous l'illuminant normalisé CIE D65.

d'azurage fluorescents ajoutés, dans les conditions spécifiées dans la présente Norme internationale
4 Principe
Le facteur de luminance énergétique diffuse du matériau est déterminé dans des conditions normalisées
après réglage de l'appareil, de sorte que la teneur relative en UV de l'éclairage corresponde à celle de
l'illuminant CIE C, et le degré de blanc CIE et la teinte sont calculés. La composante de fluorescence du
degré de blanc CIE est calculée comme étant la différence entre la valeur du facteur de luminance
énergétique diffuse et la valeur obtenue après élimination de l'émission fluorescente du matériau, par
exemple en insérant dans les faisceaux lumineux un filtre absorbant les UV, à coupure nette.
5 Appareillage et équipement
5.1 Réflectomètre ou spectrophotomètre, ayant les caractéristiques géométriques, spectrales et
photométriques décrites dans l'ISO 2469, étalonné conformément aux dispositions de l'ISO 2470-1, et équipé
d'une source de rayonnement à teneur adéquate en UV et d'un moyen de réglage de la teneur relative en UV,
de sorte que la valeur mesurée du degré de blancheur ISO concorde avec la valeur de degré de blancheur
ISO assignée à un étalon de référence fluorescent (5.2.2), et correspondant à l'illuminant CIE C
(Références [7], [8] et [11]). Si un filtre (le filtre de réglage de teneur en UV) est utilisé pour faire ce réglage, il
doit avoir une coupure nette à 395 nm afin d'absorber tout rayonnement UV sans altérer le spectre visible à
l'intérieur de la sphère.
NOTE Afin d'obtenir une concordance entre les conditions pour mesurer à la fois le degré de blancheur ISO et le
degré de blanc CIE (C/2°), un ajustement fondé sur un étalon de référence fluorescent (5.2.2) qui a une valeur assignée
de degré de blancheur ISO est préféré.
Pour le mesurage des facteurs de réflectance après élimination de la fluorescence, l'appareil doit être équipé
d'un filtre absorbant les UV, de coupure nette, dont le facteur de transmission n'excède pas 5,0 % à une
longueur d'onde inférieure ou égale à 410 nm, et pas plus de 50 % à une longueur d'onde de 420 nm. Le filtre
à coupure doit avoir des caractéristiques telles qu'une valeur reproductible du facteur de réflectance soit
obtenue à 420 nm. La valeur du facteur de réflectance obtenue à 420 nm doit alors être considérée pour les
calculs comme la valeur applicable à toutes les longueurs d'onde inférieures, pour lesquelles il est impossible
de faire un mesurage.
Pour le mesurage des papiers fluorescents, il est nécessaire d'avoir une linéarité photométrique, au moins
jusqu'à la graduation 200 %, dans la région des longueurs d'onde correspondant à l'émission fluorescente.
5.1.1 Pour les réflectomètres à filtres, des paires de filtres donnant aux cellules photoélectriques des
réflectomètres des réponses équivalentes aux composantes trichromatiques CIE X, Y, Z de l'éprouvette
(Référence [7]), évaluées pour l'illuminant normalisé CIE C (Référence [8]) et l'observateur CIE 1931 (2°)
(Référence [5]).
5.1.2 Pour les spectrophotomètres avec un nombre discret de longueurs d'onde, un moyen permettant de
calculer les moyennes pondérées conformément aux exigences relatives à l'illuminant CIE C et à
l'observateur CIE 1931 (2°) en utilisant les fonctions de pondération données dans l'Annexe A.

ISO 11476:2010(F)
5.2 Étalons de référence pour l'étalonnage de l'appareil et des étalons de travail
5.2.1 Étalon de référence non fluorescent pour l'étalonnage, conforme aux exigences relatives aux étalons
de référence ISO de niveau 3, comme spécifié dans l'ISO 2470-1.
5.2.2 Étalon de référence fluorescent destiné au réglage de la teneur en UV du rayonnement incident sur
l'échantillon, ayant une valeur assignée de degré de blancheur ISO comme spécifié dans l'Annexe B et
conforme aux exigences relatives aux étalons de référence ISO de niveau 3, comme spécifié dans
l'ISO 2470-1.
Renouveler les étalons de référence suffisamment souvent afin d'assurer un étalonnage et un réglage de la
teneur en UV satisfaisants.
5.3 Étalons de travail
5.3.1 Deux plaques planes de verre opale ou céramique, nettoyées comme décrit dans l'ISO 2469.
5.3.2 Tablette de plastique stable ou d'un autre matériau stable contenant un agent d'azurage fluorescent.
5.4 Corps noir, dont le facteur de réflectance ne varie pas de plus de 0,2 % par rapport à la valeur
nominale, à toutes les longueurs d'onde. Il convient d'entreposer le corps noir, côté supérieur en dessous,
dans un environnement exempt de poussière, ou sous un couvercle protecteur.
Il convient que l'état du corps noir soit contrôlé en s'adressant au fabricant de l'appareil.
6 Étalonnage
6.1 En utilisant les valeurs assignées à l'étalon de référence non fluorescent (5.2.1), étalonner l'appareil
après avoir retiré des faisceaux lumineux les filtres anti-UV. La position du filtre de réglage de la teneur en UV
n'est pas importante à ce stade.
6.2 En utilisant le mode opératoire de mesurage approprié, mesurer la réflectance de l'étalon de référence
fluorescent (5.2.2), déterminer sa valeur de degré de blancheur ISO comme spécifié dans I'ISO 2470-1 et
comparer la valeur obtenue avec celle assignée à l'étalon de référence fluorescent.
Une valeur de degré de blancheur ISO mesurée plus élevée que la valeur assignée signifie que la teneur
relative en UV de l'éclairage est trop élevée, tandis qu'une valeur mesurée inférieure à la valeur assignée
signifie que la teneur relative en UV est trop basse.
6.3 En utilisant le filtre de réglage de la teneur en UV ou un autre dispositif de réglage, régler la teneur en
UV de l'éclairage de façon à obtenir la valeur correcte de degré de blancheur ISO.
6.4 Répéter l'étalonnage décrit en 6.1 en utilisant l'étalon non fluorescent (5.2.1), avec le filtre de réglage
de la teneur en UV dans la position pour laquelle la valeur correcte de degré de blancheur ISO a été obtenue
pour l'étalon de référence fluorescent. Répéter le mesurage du degré de blancheur de l'étalon
fluorescent (5.2.2) comme décrit en 6.2. Si la valeur du degré de blancheur ISO obtenue ne concorde pas
avec la valeur assignée, régler la position du filtre de réglage de la teneur en UV ou d'un autre dispositif de
réglage jusqu'à obtention de la valeur correcte du degré de blancheur ISO comme décrit en 6.3.
6.5 Répéter le mode opératoire décrit en 6.4 jusqu'à obtention de la valeur correcte de degré de blancheur
ISO de l'étalon fluorescent (5.2.2) avec l'appareil étalonné correctement avec l'étalon non fluorescent (5.2.1).
La teneur en UV est maintenant réglée correctement par rapport au degré de blancheur, à une teneur relative
en UV équivalente à l'illuminant CIE C. Noter la position de réglage de la teneur en UV.
NOTE 1 Cette position signifie que l'éclairage dans l'appareil correspond à l'illuminant CIE C pour le mesurage du
degré de blancheur ISO, et elle donnera un niveau de concordance acceptable pour le degré de blanc CIE (C/2°). Il peut y
avoir encore des variations dans les teintes vert/rouge et il n'est pas possible de présumer que les composantes
trichromatiques et d'autres paramètres seront aussi exactement ceux applicables à l'illuminant C.
NOTE 2 Pour certains appareils, le mode opératoire indiqué de 6.2 à 6.5 s'ef
