1.1 本规程提供了标准术语和程序，用于描述和表征用于测量和计算材料和物体色度特性的基于光谱和滤波器的仪器的性能。它没有设定规范，而是提供了确定、传达和验证规范的格式和过程。 1.2 本规程未描述通常适用于分析化学用可见光谱仪器（UV-VIS分光光度计）的方法。ASTM分子光谱和色谱委员会E13在其管辖范围内的标准中包括此类程序。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 在今天的商业中，仪器制造商和仪器用户必须处理大量台式和便携式测色仪器，其中许多具有不同的几何和光谱特征。同时，有色商品制造商正在采用质量管理体系，要求定期验证对最终产品质量至关重要的仪器的性能。涉及光学和电子学的技术- 光学在过去十年里取得了长足的进步。结果是产生了一代价格更实惠、性能更高的仪器。曾经是研究实验室的工具现在可用于零售点、制造、设计和企业通信。发布了新的文献标准，鼓励在以前由视觉专业知识或滤光密度计主导的应用中使用色度计、分光光度计和比色光度计。 7. 因此，有必要确定仪器是否适合应用，并验证一个或多个仪器是否在所需的操作参数范围内工作。 5.2 本规程描述了一些常见的仪器参数，这些参数与仪器对有色商品生产的质量和一致性的贡献方式有关。 它还描述了评估颜色测量仪器性能所需的一些材料标准，并建议了一些测试和测试报告，以帮助验证仪器相对于其预期应用的性能。

1.1 This practice provides standard terms and procedures for describing and characterizing the performance of spectral and filter based instruments designed to measure and compute the colorimetric properties of materials and objects. It does not set the specifications but rather gives the format and process by which specifications can be determined, communicated and verified. 1.2 This practice does not describe methods that are generally applicable to visible-range spectroscopic instruments used for analytical chemistry (UV-VIS spectrophotometers). ASTM Committee E13 on Molecular Spectroscopy and Chromatography includes such procedures in standards under their jurisdiction. 1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 In today's commerce, instrument makers and instrument users must deal with a large array of bench-top and portable color-measuring instruments, many with different geometric and spectral characteristics. At the same time, manufacturers of colored goods are adopting quality management systems that require periodic verification of the performance of the instruments that are critical to the quality of the final product. The technology involved in optics and electro-optics has progressed greatly over the last decade. The result has been a generation of instruments that are both more affordable and higher in performance. What had been a tool for the research laboratory is now available to the retail point of sale, to manufacturing, to design and to corporate communications. New documentary standards have been published that encourage the use of colorimeters, spectrocolorimeters, and colorimetric spetrometers in applications previously dominated by visual expertise or by filter densitometers. 7 Therefore, it is necessary to determine if an instrument is suitable to the application and to verify that an instrument or instruments are working within the required operating parameters. 5.2 This practice provides descriptions of some common instrumental parameters that relate to the way an instrument will contribute to the quality and consistency of the production of colored goods. It also describes some of the material standards required to assess the performance of a color-measuring instrument and suggests some tests and test reports to aid in verifying the performance of the instrument relative to its intended application.
