Classification of Surfaces4.1 The appearance of surfaces will be separately evaluateddepending on the prominence of the surface under

5、 conditionsof ordinary use.4.1.1 Surface AThe surface that appears most prominentto the observer, or most likely to be noticed at first glance.4.1.2 Surface BThe surface (usually adjacent to SurfaceA) which is somewhat less prominent to the observer.4.1.3 Surface CThe surface not readily seen by the

6、observer except at an angle, or by special observation.4.1.4 Surface DThe surface not visible to the observerunder conditions of normal use.5. Significance and Use5.1 Where electroplated plastics are used for decorativepurposes, the appearance after plating is important. Thisstandard provides a mean

Method of Evaluation6.1 The part under test shall be evaluated in the samerelative position as it will normally be viewed under usualconditions of use.6.2 After proper positioning, the part under test shall beevaluated at a distance o

The specific number of defects pe

Theterm “yes” indicates that the defect cited is normally accept-able.8. Keywords8.1 appearance; electroplated plastic1This specification is under the jurisdiction
