BAFFLING SYSTEMX3.1 Per 8.3 in this

49、 test method, direct illumination of thephotoluminescent marking surface is required. The activatingsource of light shall not be pointed at another object (forexample, a nearby wall) to reflect its illumination onto themarking surface. Direct illumination can be accomplishedwith, for example, a black baffling system, black screen meshsystem or by adjusting the distance between the activatingsource of light and the marking surface such that the exactrequired illumination activates the marking surface.
