1.1 This test method describes an instrument measurement of the retroreflective performance of retroreflective sheeting.
1.2 The user of this test method must specify the entrance and observation angles to be used, and may specify the rotation angles.
1.3 This test method is intended as a laboratory test and requires a facility that can be darkened sufficiently so that stray light does not affect the test results. The testing apparatus must be able to achieve the coplanar geometry.
1.4 Portable and bench retroreflection measuring equipment may be used to determine RA values provided the geometry and appropriate substitution standard reference panels, measured in accordance with this test method, are utilized. In this case the methods of Procedure B in Practice E 809 apply. Additional information on the use of portable retroreflectometers may be found in Test Method E 1709.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
