Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11664 Color Measurement of Plastics Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

ISO 11664 is a standard that provides guidelines for the color measurement of plastics. This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely recognized as a global benchmark for color measurement in the plastics industry.

The ISO 11664 standard is part of the larger family of standards that govern color measurement, including:

  • ISO 11614:2014 - Colorimetry - Part 1: Basic principles

  • ISO 11615:2004 - Colorimetry - Part 2: CIE 15:2004, Colorimetry

  • ISO 11616:2017 - Colorimetry - Part 3: CIE 16:1976, Objectives of color measurement

    • Other relevant standards that govern color measurement include:

  • ASTM E308-17: Standard Practice for Computing the Colors of Objects by Using the CIE System

  • EN ISO 13660:2001 - Colorimetry - Measurement of reflection properties (CIE 15)

  • TSE EN ISO 13660:2017 - Colorimetry - Measurement of reflection properties (CIE 15)

    • The legal and regulatory framework surrounding color measurement is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • EU Regulation No. 2020/1409: Recast of the Plastics Directive

  • US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines for Color Measurement

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    ISO 11664 color measurement is a critical test for plastics manufacturers, as it ensures that their products meet specific color requirements. This testing is essential to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

    The business and technical reasons for conducting ISO 11664 color measurement include:

  • Ensuring product conformity to industry standards

  • Preventing color variations that can affect product performance and safety

  • Maintaining brand reputation and customer satisfaction

  • Reducing the risk of regulatory non-compliance

  • Improving product quality and reliability

    • The consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Product recalls and costly rework

  • Loss of market share and revenue due to non-compliance

  • Damage to brand reputation and customer trust

  • Increased risk of regulatory fines and penalties

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The ISO 11664 color measurement test is conducted using specialized equipment, including spectrophotometers and colorimeters. The testing environment must meet specific requirements for temperature (23C 2C), humidity (50 5), and lighting.

    Sample preparation procedures involve cleaning and preparing the sample to ensure accurate measurements. The testing parameters and conditions include:

  • Measuring reflectance at 8 (D/8) or 0 (D/0)

  • Using a CIE Lab color space for calculations

  • Applying corrections for instrument errors and sample variations

    • Measurement and analysis methods involve calculating the Lab values using the CIE Lab color space. Calibration and validation procedures ensure that the equipment is accurate and reliable.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test report includes detailed information on the testing parameters, conditions, and results. The report format and structure are specified in ISO 11664.

    Interpretation of test results involves analyzing the Lab values to determine if the sample meets specific color requirements. Certification and accreditation aspects ensure that the testing laboratory is qualified and competent.

    Why This Test Should Be Performed

    The benefits of performing ISO 11664 color measurement include:

  • Ensuring product conformity to industry standards

  • Preventing color variations that can affect product performance and safety
