Introduction
Specular reflectance and specular gloss are not unique physical properties of a surface. They vary with
the angle of measurement, and with the aperture dimensions that define the incident and the reflected
beams, such that measurements of these properties are not independent of the apparatus being used.
The specular reflectance of most surfaces increases with the angle of measurement and accounts for the
use of reflectometers with various angles as, for example, for painted surfaces. The specular reflectance
characteristics of anodized aluminium, however, do not always behave in the normal manner and,
because of its property of double reflection, reflected light comes partly from the film surface and
partly from the underlying metal. It is advisable to measure the specular reflectance characteristics at
20°, 45°, 60° and 85° to obtain a complete understanding of the specular reflectance properties of the
anodized surface, and careful thought should be given to which method or methods are most relevant
in any particular situation. The specular reflectance of bright-anodized aluminium with a mirror finish
is best measured using 45° or 20° geometry.

1 Scope
This document specifies methods for the measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss of
flat samples of anodized aluminium using geometries of 20° (Method A), 45° (Method B), 60° (Method
C) and 85° (Method D) and of specular reflectance by an additional 45° method (Method E) employing a
narrow acceptance angle.
The methods described are intended mainly for use with clear anodized surfaces. They can be used
with colour-anodized aluminium, but only with similar colours.

specular reflectance
ratio of the luminous flux, reflected in the specular direction for a specified source and receptor angle,
to the luminous flux of the incident light

specular gloss
ratio of the luminous flux, reflected from an object in the specular direction for a specified source
and receptor angle, to the luminous flux reflected from glass with a refractive index of 1,567 at a
wavelength of 546,1 nm (which is the central wavelength of the spectral luminous efficiency function)
in the specular direction
Note 1 to entry: To set the specular gloss scale, polished black glass with a refractive index of 1,567 is assigned
the value of 100 for geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85° (see Table 5). The phenomenon of light reflectance by
anodized aluminium is very different to that of black glass and the choice of a black-glass standard is arbitrary
and made to allow comparison of different qualities of anodized aluminium.
4 Principle
The specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodized aluminium surfaces are measured under
defined conditions using, as required, geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85°.
5 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following shall be used.
Approximate comparisons between surfaces of the same colour can be made, but an accurate
measurement requires the combination of light source, photoelectric cell and associated colour filters

the angle of measurement, and with the aperture dimensions that define the incident and the reflected
beams, such that measurements of these properties are not independent of the apparatus being used.
The specular reflectance of most surfaces increases with the angle of measurement and accounts for the
use of reflectometers with various angles as, for example, for painted surfaces. The specular reflectance
characteristics of anodized aluminium, however, do not always behave in the normal manner and,
because of its property of double reflection, reflected light comes partly from the film surface and
partly from the underlying metal. It is advisable to measure the specular reflectance characteristics at
20°, 45°, 60° and 85° to obtain a complete understanding of the specular reflectance properties of the
anodized surface, and careful thought should be given to which method or methods are most relevant
in any particular situation. The specular reflectance of bright-anodized aluminium with a mirror finish
is best measured using 45° or 20° geometry.

Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys — Measurement of
specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodic oxidation
coatings at angles of 20°, 45°, 60° or 85°
1 Scope
This document specifies methods for the measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss of
flat samples of anodized aluminium using geometries of 20° (Method A), 45° (Method B), 60° (Method
C) and 85° (Method D) and of specular reflectance by an additional 45° method (Method E) employing a
narrow acceptance angle.
The methods described are intended mainly for use with clear anodized surfaces. They can be used
with colour-anodized aluminium, but only with similar colours.

specular gloss
ratio of the luminous flux, reflected from an object in the specular direction for a specified source
and receptor angle, to the luminous flux reflected from glass with a refractive index of 1,567 at a
wavelength of 546,1 nm (which is the central wavelength of the spectral luminous efficiency function)
in the specular direction
Note 1 to entry: To set the specular gloss scale, polished black glass with a refractive index of 1,567 is assigned
the value of 100 for geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85° (see Table 5). The phenomenon of light reflectance by
anodized aluminium is very different to that of black glass and the choice of a black-glass standard is arbitrary
and made to allow comparison of different qualities of anodized aluminium.
4 Principle
The specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodized aluminium surfaces are measured under
defined conditions using, as required, geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85°.
5 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following shall be used.

specular gloss
ratio of the luminous flux, reflected from an object in the specular direction for a specified source
and receptor angle, to the luminous flux reflected from glass with a refractive index of 1,567 at a
wavelength of 546,1 nm (which is the central wavelength of the spectral luminous efficiency function)
in the specular direction
Note 1 to entry: To set the specular gloss scale, polished black glass with a refractive index of 1,567 is assigned
the value of 100 for geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85° (see Table 5). The phenomenon of light reflectance by
anodized aluminium is very different to that of black glass and the choice of a black-glass standard is arbitrary
and made to allow comparison of different qualities of anodized aluminium.
4 Principle
The specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodized aluminium surfaces are measured under
defined conditions using, as required, geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85°.
5 Apparatus and geometric conditions
Usual laboratory apparatus and in particular the following.
5.1 General. Approximate comparisons between surfaces of the same colour can be made, but an
accurate measurement requires the combination of light source, photoelectric cell and associated colour
filters to give a spectral sensitivity, approximating to the CIE spectral luminous efficiency, V(λ), weighted
for CIE standard illuminants C or D65. V(λ) shall conform to the requirements of ISO 11664 1. CIE
standard illuminants C and D65 shall conform to the requirements of CIE 15 and ISO 11664 2.
NOTE Since specular reflection is in general spectrally non-selective, the spectral characteristics of the light
source (5.2) and the receptor (5.4) do not affect the measurement of normal uncoloured anodized surfaces.
5.2 Polychromatic light source and housing, with a lens that directs a parallel, or very slightly
converging, beam of light onto the surface under test.
5.3 Means for locating the specimen surface, in the correct position for measurement.
5.4 Receptor housing containing a lens, a receptor aperture and a photoelectric cell, to receive
the cone of reflected light.
5.5 Sensitivity control, for setting the photocell current to any desired value on the instrument scale
or digital indicator.
5.6 Receptor meter, capable of giving an indication proportional to the light flux passing the receptor
aperture within 1 % of the full-scale reading. Spectral corrections are not usually required (see Note to 5.1).
5.7 Geometric conditions
The incident angle, ε , which is the angle between the axis of the incident beam and the perpendicular
1
to the surface under test, shall have the following values and tolerances:
— for Method A: 20° ± 0,1°;
— for Method B: 45° ± 0,1°;
— for Method C: 60° ± 0,1°;
— for Method D: 85° ± 0,1°;
