11、he joint authority of the Illuminating Industry Standards Committee and the Photographic Industry Standards Committee, and is concerned with the spectral composition of illuminants corresponding to phases of daylight for producing conditions of artificial daylight. The standard is divided into two P

12、arts. Part 1 specifies an illuminant of given chromaticity and spectral distribution with a correlated colour temperature of6500 K, which is suitable for colour matching and colour appraisal. Part2states the viewing requirements applicable only to the graphic arts reproduction industry where a great

13、er red content is required in the spectrum of the illuminant and for which, accordingly, a correlated colour temperature of5000 K has been selected. NOTEWhere metric equivalents are stated the figures in British units are to be regarded as the standard. The metric conversions are approximate. More a

14、ccurate conversions should be based on the tables in BS350, “Conversion factors and tables”. Foreword This Part of the specification is concerned with an illuminant having the spectral composition based on a phase of daylight. As no artificial light source is likely to have this precise spectral com

15、position the tolerances which light sources must meet in order to be suitable for colour matching and colour appraisal are defined. The earlier edition was based on Standard Illuminant C, which had the disadvantages 1) that it is difficult to provide with it high illumination levels over large areas

16、; 2) that its ultra-violet content is inadequate for present-day colour matching in view of the prevalence of fluorescent brightening agents and fluorescent pigments; 3) that its chromaticity is on the purple side of the full radiator locus. New measurements on daylight in this country, and elsewher

17、e, have recently become available (Judd, MacAdam and Wyszecki, J. Opt. Soc. Amer. 54,1031,1964) and the standard is now based on this work instead of on Standard Illuminant C. These measurements, and others of a different type made in recent years at a number of laboratories in this country, indicat

18、e that the chromaticity of daylight most frequently occurring is similar to that adopted in the earlier specification, but on the green side of the full radiator locus. The correlated colour temperature of this region is close to6500 K, and the reconstituted spectral distribution for this colour tem

19、perature has been taken from the work of Judd et al. to provide the standard. The same distribution has recently been recommended by Experts Committee E.1.3.1 of the CIE 1)as Standard Illuminant D6500 (seeAppendix A). A feature of these measurements has been the close similarity of curves from north

20、 sky observations on the one hand, and total sky observations, with or without sunlight, on the other, provided that these conditions refer to similar chromaticities (Henderson and Hodgkiss, Brit. J. Appl. Phys. 14,125,1963;15,947,1964). This specification requires that artificial sources for colour

21、 matching shall satisfy two conditions. The first is that the chromaticity of the light shall lie within certain limits, and the second is that the differences between its spectral distribution and that specified shall be within certain limits. As regards chromaticity the tolerance area is on the gr

22、een side of the full radiator locus, in accordance with most determinations of the chromaticity of natural daylight. Colour matches under sources conforming to this specification will hold in most phases of daylight. As in most cases materials may also be used under artificial light, especially that

23、 from incandescent tungsten lamps, colour matches should be checked under two sources (seeAppendix B). 1) Commission Internationale de lEclairage.BS950-1:1967 BSI 10-1999 iii There are many instances in which a coloured object is inspected, not with a view to matching it with a standard, but to see

24、if it harmonizes with some other coloured objects, or if its colour fits the observers judgement of what is required. This may be called colour appraisal, which in critical cases is most often carried out in daylight. Light sources conforming to the specification are suitable for this purpose. Some

25、information on practical light sources is included inAppendix C. NOTEFluorescent lamps referred to in BS1853, “Tubular fluorescent lamps for general lighting service”, as “colour matching” or “northlight” may not necessarily comply with this specification. Lamps referred to as “daylight” will not co

26、mply with this specification. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of

28、 BSI 10-1999 1 1 Scope This Part of this British Standard specifies an illuminant representing a phase of daylight, and the tolerances in both chromaticity and spectral distribution to which artificial light sources shall conform. This illuminant is suitable for colour matching and colour appraisal.

29、 2 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard the following definitions apply: 2.1 ultra-violet range the region of the spectrum which extends from300to400nm 2.2 colour matching the visual comparison under a suitable illuminant of two materials or fields, usually contiguous, for the purpo

30、se of judging their similarity in colour 2.3 colour appraisal the inspection of objects or surfaces under a suitable illuminant with a view to making subjective judgements on their colour characteristics. These judgements may vary between the extremes of colour matching and aesthetic appreciation of

31、 an isolated colour. Further examples are given in the Foreword 3 Chromaticity of illuminant The chromaticity of the illuminant shall fall within the12-sided figure shown in Figure 1 with chromaticity co-ordinates shown in Table 1 and with a centre point given by x =0.3127, y=0.3291, on the1931CIE S

32、ystem. Table 1 Chromaticity co-ordinates NOTEThe area surrounding the centre point is based on the standard deviations in colour matching, as determined by MacAdam (J. Opt. Soc. Amer. 32,247,1942;33,18,1943). This12-sided figure corresponds to a tolerance from the nominal chromaticity of4times the s

33、tandard deviation in the direction of the minor axis, and5times in the direction of the major axis. The purpose of this is to provide an adequate tolerance in lamp manufacture, while keeping well within the limits of daylight variation but avoiding any chromaticity below the full radiator locus. x y

35、l distribution is based onAppendix A. The spectral band composition and tolerances shall be as shown in Table 2. Table 2 Spectral distribution NOTE 1Bands 1 to 6 are those used in the NPL method of colour rendering assessment (Crawford, Brit. J. Appl. Phys. 14,319,1963). Whereas this method recommen

36、ds the use of10% tolerances on the band values, larger tolerances determined empirically are required at present in this specification to allow for the realization of the standard by fluorescent tubes of varied loading. The tolerances may be altered later if advances are made in providing better lig

37、ht sources. The purpose of these tolerances is to control spectral distribution rather than to assess colour rendering properties. The CIE Test Colour method for measurement of colour rendering (CIE Publication No.13,1965) will be considered later as a requirement in this standard. NOTE 2It is recom

38、mended that the level of illumination for colour matching shall be between70lm/ft 2and300lm/ft 2(750lx and3200lx) and the surroundings shall be neutral in colour. The effects of finishes on lamp reflectors or fittings, or of spectrally selective transmission of plastic diffusers must be borne in min

39、d when lighting installations are planned since these variables may seriously alter the quality of the emitted light. Standardized viewing conditions are also desirable because the level of illumination, background colour and brightness, glare and extraneous lighting will all affect the visual respo

40、nse. Reference should also be made to the publication “The IES Code, Recommendations for good interior lighting”, published by the Illuminating Engineering Society in1961, for further details appropriate to different applications. 5 Maintenance of spectral distribution The manufacturer of a light so

41、urce or colour matching appliance shall declare the average number of hours running during which his product will conform to the specification.

43、e a visual match under any illuminant. However, it is possible for two materials to match visually under a given light source without their being a spectral match and such matches are termed “metameric”. They arise because the colouring matters used in each material are different, though this does n

44、ot mean that spectral matches cannot be obtained unless identical colouring matters are used. It is important to detect metamerism because materials which are a metameric match under one illuminant may not match under another illuminant whose spectral characteristics are significantly different. The

45、 simplest method of determining whether a match made under a light source conforming to the standard is metameric or not is to inspect it also under the light from a tungsten filament lamp and, unless it is known that identical colouring matters have been used, it is recommended that this be done. I

46、f the match still holds, it is unlikely to be metameric; if the materials no longer match, but the degree of mis-match is not serious, then it is unlikely that any greater degree of mis-match will occur under any other illuminant, natural or artificial. A metameric match made under a light source co

47、nforming to this specification may not match under certain daylight conditions (e.g.north light from a blue sky or sunlight from a low sun), but it will match under the most frequently occurring phases of daylight. It must be noted, however, that when the degree of metamerism is severe the differenc

48、es in normal colour vision of individual observers may result in two materials being a visual match for some observers, but a mis-match for others. Appendix C Practical sources The specification may be met by using different types of lamp, singly or in combination, with or without filters. If fluore

49、scent lamps are used they should preferably be of low loading types:8ft (2400mm)85W; 5ft(1500mm)65W;4ft (1200mm)40W or2ft(600mm)20W; in order to minimize chromaticity differences and changes of relative ultra-violet emission due to lamp temperature changes. The disadvantages of enclosed unventilated fittings in this respect must also be considered.
