- Description
- Please see the attached memorandum�stating the way the government evaluates fabric shade evaluations for all ACC �build to spec� contracts. This is a no cost change in the way the government evaluates shade sampling that is more in-line with the way industry does it.� To summarize, contractors shall: delete the current visual shade matching procedure of Army contract documents: �The color and appearance of the (item) shall match the standard sample when viewed�using the AATCC EP9, Option C, (see 6.5) with sources simulating artificial daylight D75 illuminant with a color temperature of 7500K (� 200) illumination of 100 (� 20) foot candles and shall be a good match to the standard sample under incandescent A�illuminant with a color temperature of 2856K (� 200).� and substitute with the following: �The color and appearance of the (item) shall match the standard sample when viewed�using the AATCC EP9, Option C, (see 6.5) with a primary light source simulating the�spectral quality of average daylight, CIE Illuminant D65, with a color temperature of 6500 (� 200) Kelvin (K) illumination of 100 (� 20) foot candles. Alternatively, the color and�appearance of the (item) shall match the standard sample with a primary light source�simulating artificial daylight, CIE Illuminant D75, with a color temperature of 7500K (� 200) illumination of 100 (� 20) foot candles in lieu of D65. (See 6.5.1). The (item) shall�also be a good match to the standard sample with a secondary source simulating the�spectral quality of incandescent lamplight, CIE Illuminant A, with a color temperature of 2856K (� 200).� It is requested that all prime contractors of current and pending contracts�verify that DD1222s from suppliers indicate whether D65 or D75 light source was used for�shade verification. If the light source is not indicated on the DD1222, D65 will be assumed by�the Government Shade Laboratory. No response to this notice is required. �
