EN 14086:2003 (E)4IntroductionVisual gloss is a sensory impression which cannot yet be described completely. Some important physical variableswhich influence gloss are however known. The sensory perception of gloss under a suitable illumination results from aphysical stimulus due to reflection of light from a surface. This reflection is defined by an indicatrix which changes withthe angle of incidence. The maximum indicatrix value which is decisive for visual gloss impression is associated withspecular reflection, at an angle of reflection which is approximately equal to the angle of incidence. The reflectometervalue is determined by averaging the reflection in a defined angular region centered in the specular direction.NOTE 1A reflectometer value is a measure of the visual gloss only when the optical conditions of measurement,such as angles and apertures of illumination and observation are similar to the conditions of viewing.NOTE 2Because luminance and structure enter to some extent into the reflectometer value of the test piece, only thecomparison of test pieces with nearly the same luminance and structure is meaningful. The influence of luminance on themeasurement result decreases rapidly with increasing reflectometer value and increasing angle of reflection.The proportion of specular reflection in the entire reflection increases with increasing angle of incidence. Very mattsurfaces generate a noticeable degree of specular reflection and, therefore, a noticeable gloss effect only above acertain minimum angle of incidence. On the other hand, a large angle of incidence reduces the ability todifferentiate
between surfaces of high gloss.NOTE 3Manufacturers of coated papers usually divide their products into two classes, according to their surface gloss: mattcoating and gloss coating. However, these classes are only defined approximately. The glossy class has reflectometer values,measured according to this European Standard, above approximately 7, the matt class has reflectometer values lower than thisvalue. As there is no precise correlation between reflectometer values measured with different geometries, it is advisable tocompare the reflectometer values only within a single class of papers and using the same measuring geometry.This European Standard describes measurement at an angle of incidence of 45° using a parallel beam geometrycommonly known as the 45° DIN method. A second European Standard describes measurement at an angle of 75°(see EN ISO 8254-2).1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a photometric test method for the assessment of visual gloss by means of areflectometer value measured at an angle of 45°. It is applicable to plane paper and board surfaces of high gloss,commonly called glossy papers and boards, having reflectance values, measured according to this EuropeanStandard, above approximately 7. Materials containing optical brightning agents may be measured.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

Reflectometervalues are therefore not percentages.NOTE 2These definitions are based on definitions in CIE-Publication No. 17.4.4 PrincipleThe sample is illuminated with a collimated beam at an angle of 45 ° to the normal, and the reflectometer value ismeasured within a solid angle defined by a given aperture at an angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence.The scale of the reflectometer is calibrated with reference to the reflection from a black glass plate or a quartzwedge with a specific refractive index.5 Equipment5.1 ApparatusThe reflectometer shall consist of the following principal components: a collimator, a decollimator, an electric supplyfor the light source device, a photoelectronic receptor and a sample holder, as described in annex A.5.2 Gloss standardsThe reflectometer is calibrated by means of a zero-gloss standard and a high gloss standard with a reflectometervalue between about 80 and 100. This high gloss standard can be either a primary gloss standard or a workinggloss standard.Intermediate gloss standards with assigned reflectometer values are used to check the adjustment of the device.NOTEAs reflectometer values of gloss standards may change due to environmental influences, they should bechecked at least once per year.SIST EN 14086:2003



EN 14086:2003 (E)65.2.1 Zero-gloss standardsA zero-gloss standard is a gloss standard which, in the ideal case, absorbs all light falling on it. A black cavity linedwith black velvet or felt is one realisation of such a gloss standard that has been proven in practice.5.2.2 Primary gloss standardsA primary gloss standard is a gloss standard whose reflectometer value can be calculated by means of itsrefractive index using the Fresnel equation. The reflectometer value is defined as being equal to 100 for a blackglass plate or a fused quartz wedge with a nominal refractive index at n = 1,567 at a wavelength of 587,6 nm (He-d-line).
