LUGGAGE RACK PROFILES AND FLAPS

REQUIREMENTS
1 Scope
This technical regulation gives requirements for the specification of surfaces for the luggage rack profiles
based on the properties of the individual profile material. This document contains a list of verification
methods and acceptance criteria (defects and deviations) for profiles

2 Background on MEASUREMENT COLOR

2.1 CIE L*a*b
Defined by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE), the L*a*b* color space was modeled after a
color-opponent theory stating that two colors cannot be red and green at the same time or yellow and blue
at the same time. As shown below, L* indicates lightness, a* is the red/green coordinate, and b* is the
yellow/blue coordinate. Deltas for L* (ΔL*), a* (Δa*) and b* (Δb*) may be positive (+) or negative ( -). The
total difference, Delta E (ΔE*), however, is always positive.
ΔL* (L* sample minus L* standard) = difference in lightness and darkness (+ = lighter, - = darker)
Δa* (a* sample minus a* standard) = difference in red and green (+ = redder, - = greener)
Δb* (b* sample minus b* standard) = difference in yellow and blue (+ = yellower, - = bluer)

2.2 CIE L*C*H

The L*C*h color space is similar to L*a*b*, but it describes color differently using cylindrical
coordinates instead of rectangular coordinates. In this color space, L* indicates lightness, C*
represents chroma, and h is the hue angle. Chroma and hue are calculated from the a* and b*
coordinates in L*a*b*. Deltas for lightness (ΔL*), chroma (ΔC*), and hue (ΔH*) may be positive (+) or
negative ( -). These are expressed as:
ΔL* (L* sample minus L* standard) = difference in lightness and darkness (+ = lighter, - = darker)
ΔC* (C* sample minus C* standard) = difference in chroma (+ = brighter, - = duller)
ΔH* (H* sample minus H* standard) = difference in hue
