GIO-LITE test result
|
The brightness(RA or CPL, in cd/lux/m2) of the retroreflection is
determined by the experience conditions like below.
ASTM E809 and E810 (RA) CIE 54: 1982 (R')
ASTM E809 and E810 (RA) CIE 54: 1982 (R')
RA is determined by the designated entrance angle,observation angle
and the average value measured in
90' if certain conditions are not provided.

GIO-LITE Reflective Materials - #9904H
Reflective Fabric & #9905H Reflective Heat Transfer Film - are
certified to the European Standard EN 471 & ANSI.
The initial photometric performance meets or exceeds the requirements
in EN 471 & ANSI. The products are certified for 50 washings at
60 °C. Materials subjected to the exposure tests listed below will
maintain a minimum RA of 100 cd/lux/m2 at -4° entrance angle and 0.2°
observation angle unless stated otherwise.

Performance
While use of GIO-LITE Reflective Material enhances visibility, no
reflective material can guarantee absoulte visibility, particularly
in adverse weather conditions. Performance will vary depending upon
actual use, exposure condition and maintenance. Users should test
reflective material to satisfy conformance to their own requirements.
