The described method can also be applied to the measurement of specular reflectance (base gloss value), specularity and diffuseness. The method is not suitable for use with lighting reflectors.

Reflectance properties include the amount of light reflected from the surface. This can be affected by factors such as surface finish, color and processes such as anodizing. Measurement of reflection properties provides information about the optical properties of aluminum surfaces.

Integrating sphere instruments are devices designed to measure the total hemispherical reflectance or transmittance of a sample. These devices ensure that light is distributed evenly over the sample surface, allowing accurate and reliable measurements.

EN 12373-12 probably provides a detailed procedure for carrying out measurements using integrating sphere instruments. This will include sample preparation, instrument calibration, and the specific conditions under which measurements must be taken.

This standard applies specifically to anodized aluminum surfaces. It is used to evaluate the optical properties of surfaces and provide data on reflectance.
