Description / Abstract:
The purpose of this SAE Information Report is to list and
explain major equipment, instrumentation, and procedure variables
which can affect inter-laboratory differences and repeatability of
photometric measurements of various lighting devices listed in SAE
Technical Reports. The accuracy guidelines listed in the report are
for the purpose of controlling variables that are not a direct
function of the lighting device being measured. The control of
these individual variables is necessary to control the overall
accuracy of photometric measurements. These accuracy guidelines
apply to the measurement of the luminous intensities and reflected
intensities of devices at the specified geometrically distributed
test points and areas. These guidelines do not apply to photometric
equipment used to measure license plate lamps.
