Who is BS 3900-D10 Determination of colour and colour difference for?
BS 3900-D10 on determination of colour and colour difference is useful for:
- Paint manufacturers
- Testing laboratories
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 3900-D10 - Determination of colour and colour difference?
The use and importance of colorimetry have grown in unison with the increase of global manufacturing and processing. Unfortunately, human colour perception varies widely and is affected by illumination, sample size, surrounding colour, and the angle of observation. Colorimetric instruments provide a set of standardized conditions that help assure consistency and repeatability.
BS 3900-D10 provides a method for determining the colour and the colour difference of the paint. This helps in determining the colour deviation in the production of paints that can aid in controlling or regulating the process. BS 3900-D10 can help in determining the color changes that are caused by weathering, chemical or physical influences. This helps in determining the quality of your paints.
If you are a manufacturer, BS 3900-D10 can ensure that your product’s colour quality is maintained.
