Plastics - Determination of illumination diffusion - Near-distance haze measurement for transparent materials
Kunststoffe - Bestimmung der Beleuchtungsdiffusion - Messung der Trübung durchsichtiger Materialien im Nahbereich
Overview
This document specifies a method for measuring illumination diffusion (ID), an optical property resulting from the scattering of light in transparent and largely colorless plastic films and packaging. Two parameters are quantified, namely ID haze, which results from the scattering of light at a wide angle, and ID sharpness, which results from scattering at a narrow angle. This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 115-02-01 AA "Flexible Packmittel - Laminate, Folien, Säcke, Beutel, Tragetaschen" ("Flexible packaging - plastic and laminated foils, bags, pouches, carrier bags") at DIN Standards Committee Packaging (NAVp).
