4 Measurement methods
4.1
General The format of samples shall be plane and the minimum dimensions should be 100 mm x 100 mm.
For formed reflectors, a plane sample of the reflector should be taken or a plane sample of the same material should be produced in the same manner as the final reflector.
For materials manufactured by a linear process, measurements shall be made with the plane of incidence both parallel (i. e. longitudinal) to and perpendicular (i. e. transverse) to the linear process direction which shall be marked by the manufacturer on the samples, see Figure 1. The relevant symbols shall be marked by an index "L" for longitudinal direction and by "T" for transverse direction.
SIST EN 16268:2013



EN 16268:2013 (E) 7
Key 1 sample a rolling direction b parallel direction c perpendicular direction Figure 1 — Illustration of measurement parallel and perpendicular to the linear process direction For embossed structured surfaces, the width of the illuminated area on the sample inside the sphere according to Annex A shall be at least three times larger than the dimension of the structure. Depending on the kind of structure, measurements in three or four directions shall be considered. In Annex D, examples of structure are illustrated.
NOTE Due to the undulating surface of embossed materials, good contact between the sample and the rim of the sample port cannot be maintained at all points. The resulting light leakage can cause the results of measurements made on these materials to be lower than their actual total reflectance values.
4.2 Total reflectance=ρtot
The measurement shall be made in accordance with Annex A and documented.
For materials manufactured by a linear process, measurements shall be made with the plane of incidence both parallel to and perpendicular to the linear process direction (see Figure 1). For all other materials measurement shall be done in two perpendicular directions.
Five measurements in each of these directions on different areas of the materials are required.
The mean longitudinal value and the mean transverse value across all samples shall be calculated.
The total reflectance shall be the higher value of the mean values.
The uncertainty of the measurement process shall be documented, stating the percentage of uncertainty and the method by which the value was determined. SIST EN 16268:2013



EN 16268:2013 (E) 8 4.3 Diffuse reflectance=ρd The diffuse reflectance =ρd shall be measured according to Annex A and documented. For materials manufactured by a linear process, measurements shall be made with the plane of incidence both parallel to and perpendicular to the linear process direction (see Figure 1). For all other materials, measurement shall be done in two perpendicular directions.
Five measurements in each of these directions on different areas of the materials are required.
The lowest longitudinal value and the lowest transverse value across all samples shall be recorded.
NOTE For diffuse reflectance measurement, the lowest value is taken in order to avoid errors due to sample distortion causing the specular reflected light to strike the edge of the sphere exit aperture. The diffuse reflection shall be the mean of the two recorded values. 4.4 Specular reflectance ρr, ρrL,=ρrT Measurement shall be made according to Annex A in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
For nonlinear processed materials the measurements should be made in two perpendicular directions.
Five measurements in each of these directions on different areas of the materials are required. The mean longitudinal value ρrL and the mean transverse value ρrT across all samples shall be calculated.
Values of transverse and longitudinal directions shall both be stated.
4.5 Colour
Colour shall be expressed in CIE L*a*b*-system using standard illuminant D65 (Daylight) (see CIE 15.3:2004).
Five measurements at different points of the surface shall be measured and the average values L, a*, b* shall be taken. Measurements made before and after the durability tests shall be made using the same instrument and the same method.
5 Durability test methods for evaluation of reflective materials based on maintained performance under different specified conditions 5.1 General Different reflector materials show different rates of reflectance loss due to the effects of oxidation, humidity, UV exposure and abrasion. The durability tests used in this standard and described below are used to demonstrate within a short time of testing the likely relative deterioration of a reflector material in normal service and give an indication of the maintained performance.
It is the responsibility of the user of the material to perform suitable tests to determine the worst case operating condition (e.g. highest temperature reached on the reflector surface, etc.) within their application.
For each test on a batch of materials, a new sample with equal properties to the others is required. Measurement of reflectance values shall be made according to Clause 4, Annex A and Annex B. All measurements before and after durability tests shall be made with the same instrument under the same measurement conditions.
The same panel shall be measured before and after each exposure.
SIST EN 16268:2013



EN 16268:2013 (E) 9 Films and foils shall be tested on the proposed base material.
5.2 Temperature resistance The test shall be carried out in air at one or more of the following temperatures T: 80 °C, 120 °C, 160 °C, 200 °C, 250 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C.
Temperature level T shall be recorded as shown in Table 2 and Table 3.
Test duration shall be 168 h without interruption. The temperature resistance tests are carried out by placing test panels of the reflecting materials in an oven at the stated temperature. The temperature shall be maintained within +/- 5°C for the duration of the test.
The reflective surface shall not make contact with any other surface during the test.
The physical condition of the material shall be observed after the test and any deterioration shall be recorded (see Table 3).
5.3 Humidity resistance The humidity test shall be carried out in a test cabinet with constant condensation at 40 °C for a duration of 168 h without interruption according to EN ISO 6270-2:2005, Table 1, code CH, using deionised water.
The reflective surface shall not make contact with any other surface during the test.
The physical condition of the material shall be observed after the test and any deterioration shall be recorded (see Table 3).
5.4 UV-Exposure resistance Durability on exposure to UV- radiation shall be tested according to EN ISO 4892-3:2006, Table 4, cycle no. 5 for a duration of 504 h (three weeks).
The reflective surface shall not make contact with any other surface during the test.
The physical condition of the material shall be observed after the test and any deterioration shall be recorded (see Table 3).
5.5 Abrasion resistance Measurements shall be made according to ISO 9211-4:2012 (see Annex B).
The physical condition of the material shall be observed after the test and any deterioration shall be recorded (see Table 3).
5.6 Scratch resistance Measurements shall be made according to ISO 15184:2012 (see Annex B).
The physical condition of the material shall be observed after the test and any deterioration shall be recorded together with the hardness of the pencil causing the deterioration (see Table 3).
6 Classification
The Reflectance Class represents the total reflectance of the surface indicating the potential for energy efficiency of the material when used in a luminaire.
SIST EN 16268:2013



EN 16268:2013 (E) 10 The reflecting surfaces of materials are classified according to Table 1.
Table 1 — Reflectance classes of reflecting surfaces of materials
Reflectance class Total reflectance % A+ 97,0 to 100,0
A 93,0 to 96,9 B 88,0 to 92,9 C 82,0 to 87,9 D 76,0 to 81,9 E 70,0 to 75,9 F 64,0 to 69,9 G 58,0 to 63,9 H 50,0 to 57,9 Depending on luminaire design and geometry, a high diffuse reflectance can have a negative effect on the energy efficiency of a luminaire and this should be taken into account when interpreting Table 1.
7 Assignment of Reflectance Class All reflector materials supplied in accordance with this standard shall be assigned a reflectance class character indicating the initial and the maintained reflectance performance determined from the results of total reflectance measurements before and after durability tests. For the assignment of maintained reflectance class, the following tests shall be made:  temperature resistance according to 5.2;
 humidity resistance according to 5.3;  UV-exposure resistance according to 5.4.
The maintained reflectance class shall be indicated by a letter allocated from Table 1 for each test.
