Annex B (informative) Passive LLEPM luminance lab test and criteria 4.16 APTA SS-PS-004-99, Rev. 1 Edited 4-1-04 The manufacturer/supplier shall provide test reports that the passive HPPL material used for LLEPM, in the configuration to be used in the railcar, including any protective covering or layer to be used in actual installation meets the luminance level of 7.5 mcd/m 2 , 1.5 hours after removal of normal and emergency power, when tested according to the provisions of ASTM E 2073-00, Standard Test Method for Photopic Luminance of Photoluminescent (Phosphorescent) Markings 4 (www.astm.org) with the following three modifications: f) Section 8.3—Activation: Activate the HPPL material with a fluorescent lamp of 40W or less and a color temperature of 4100K that provides 5 fc of illumination as measured on the material surface. The activation period will be for 60 minutes. g) Section 8.4—Luminance: Measure the photopic luminance of all specimens of the HPPL material with a luminance meter as described in 5.2 after 1.5 hours +10 s. h) Section 9.1.12—The test report will include a luminance measurement after 1.5 hours. At present, the only instruments known to be satisfactory for such measurements and commercially available are: – DR-2000, Gamma Scientific (see www.gamma-sci.com); – B510 photometer, LMT of Berlin (see www.lmt-berlin.de); – ERP-105, Hagner Instruments AB (see www.hagnerphotoins.u-net.com); – P-9710 Plus Contact Luminance Detector (under development), Gigahertz Optik (see www.gigahertz-optik.de/en/).

Edited 4-1-04<br />
The manufacturer/supplier shall provide test reports that the passive HPPL material used<br />
<strong>for</strong> LLEPM, in the configuration to be used in the railcar, including any protective<br />
covering or layer to be used in actual installation meets the luminance level of 7.5<br />
mcd/m 2 , 1.5 hours after removal of normal and emergency power, when tested according<br />
to the provisions of ASTM E 2073-00, <strong>Standard</strong> Test Method <strong>for</strong> Photopic Luminance of<br />
Photoluminescent (Phosphorescent) Markings 4 (www.astm.org) with the following three<br />
modifications:<br />
f) Section 8.3—Activation: Activate the HPPL material with a fluorescent lamp of<br />
40W or less and a color temperature of 4100K that provides 5 fc of illumination<br />
as measured on the material surface. The activation period will be <strong>for</strong> 60 minutes.<br />
g) Section 8.4—Luminance: Measure the photopic luminance of all specimens of the<br />
HPPL material with a luminance meter as described in 5.2 after 1.5 hours +10 s.<br />
h) Section 9.1.12—The test report will include a luminance measurement after 1.5<br />
hours.<br />
At present, the only instruments known to be satisfactory <strong>for</strong> such measurements and<br />
commercially available are:<br />
– DR-2000, Gamma Scientific (see www.gamma-sci.com);<br />
– B510 photometer, LMT of Berlin (see www.lmt-berlin.de);<br />
– ERP-105, Hagner Instruments AB (see www.hagnerphotoins.u-net.com);<br />
