Plastics - Determination of the total luminous transmittance of transparent materials - Part 2: Double-beam instrument (ISO 13468-2:2021)

This document covers the determination of the total luminous transmittance, in the visible region of
the spectrum, of planar transparent plastics and substantially colourless plastics, using a double-beam
scanning spectrophotometer. This document cannot be used for plastics which contain fluorescent
materials.
This document is applicable to transparent moulding materials, films and sheets not exceeding 10 mm
in thickness.
NOTE 1 Total luminous transmittance can also be determined by a single-beam instrument as in ISO 13468-1.
NOTE 2 Substantially colourless plastics include those which are faintly tinted.
NOTE 3 Specimens more than 10 mm thick can be measured provided the instrument can accommodate them,
but the results cannot be comparable with those obtained using specimens less than 10 mm thick.

Kunststoffe - Bestimmung des totalen Lichttransmissionsgrades von transparenten Materialien - Teil 2: Zweistrahlinstrument (ISO 13468-2:2021)

Dieses Dokument behandelt die Bestimmung des totalen Lichttransmissionsgrades von ebenen, transparenten Kunststoffen und im Wesentlichen farblosen Kunststoffen im sichtbaren Spektralbereich mit einem abtastenden Zweistrahlspektralphotometer. Dieses Dokument kann nicht auf Kunststoffe mit fluoreszierenden Bestandteilen angewendet werden.
Dieses Dokument ist anzuwenden für transparente Formmassen, Folien und Tafeln, deren Dicke 10 mm nicht überschreitet.
ANMERKUNG 1 Der totale Lichttransmissionsgrad kann auch mit einem Einstrahlinstrument wie in ISO 13468 1 bestimmt werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Zu den im Wesentlichen farblosen Kunststoffen gehören die schwach eingefärbten.
ANMERKUNG 3 Probekörper dicker als 10 mm können gemessen werden, vorausgesetzt, das Instrument kann sie aufnehmen, jedoch können die Ergebnisse mit denen, die mit Probekörpern einer Dicke kleiner als 10 mm erhalten wurden, nicht vergleichbar sein.

Plastiques - Détermination du facteur de transmission du flux lumineux total des matériaux transparents - Partie 2: Instrument à double faisceau (ISO 13468-2:2021)

Le présent document la détermination du facteur de transmission lumineuse totale, dans le domaine visible, des plastiques plans transparents et pratiquement incolores, au moyen d'un spectrophotomètre à double faisceau. Le présent document ne peut pas être appliqué aux plastiques contenant des matériaux fluorescents.
Le présent document est applicable aux matériaux pour moulage ainsi qu'aux feuilles minces, feuilles continues et films d'épaisseur inférieure ou égale à 10 mm.
NOTE 1   Le facteur de transmission lumineuse totale peut également être déterminé au moyen d'un instrument à faisceau unique, comme dans l'ISO 13468‑1.
NOTE 2   Dans les plastiques pratiquement incolores sont également inclus les plastiques légèrement colorés.
NOTE 3   Les éprouvettes de plus de 10 mm d'épaisseur peuvent être soumises au mesurage si la structure de l'appareillage utilisé le permet, mais les résultats ne sont pas comparables à ceux que l'on obtient sur des éprouvettes de moins de 10 mm.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 5, Physical-
chemical properties, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 249, Plastics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between
ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
