Precision and Bias8.1 Interlaboratory Test Program4An interlaboratorystudy evaluating the color stability of resilient vinyl flooring tothe effects of exposure to heat was run in 1991 t

21、hrough 1993.Six laboratories tested three categories of an experimentalunprinted resilient sheet flooring structure having a 0.010 in.(0.254 mm) transparent top layer containing varying levels ofstabilizers. Exposure to 158F 6 2F (70C 6 1C) heat for 7days was used to provide an accelerated heat agin

22、g environ-ment. Color measurements were made under daylight (D-65)and cool white fluorescent (CWF) illumination. Each categorylevel contained four test specimens randomly drawn from themaster batch of material prepared by a single manufacturingsite. Practice E 691 was followed for the design and ana

23、lysis ofthe data; the details of the test program are being compiled intoa research report.8.2 Test ResultsThe terms repeatability limit and repro-ducibility limit are used as specified in Practice E 177. Theprecision information has been summarized in Table 1. There isa mixture of constancy and pro

24、portionality when the 2.8sindices are compared throughout the test range. It should benoted that in this study measurement of color change correlatedwith the varying levels of stabilization. As a result, this testmethod shows that color stability performance varies as thelevel of stabilization is va
