Retroreflective Sheeting (Types IX & XI)
6.2 Coefficient of Retroreflection

Requirement: ASTM D4956 Tables 9 & 10 (Type IX & XI Sheeting)

Test Method: ASTM E810 - Test Distance 100 feet (30.5 m)
Projector: Hoffman GPS-102 (Illuminant A, 1.13 fc, 30" diameter)
Sample Area: 8.0 in. x 8.0 in, 0.444 ft² (204 mm x 204 mm, 0.0416 m²)

Coefficient of Retroreflection (RA) determined by measuring three (3)

8"x8" samples, sampled in accordance with D4956 Section 9.1 and mounted on
0.040" thick 6061-T6 aluminum panels, at two rotation angles (ε=0° and
ε=90°) and averaging. ε=0° arbitrarily defined as orientation parallel to
roll direction (see photos).
Tested in accordance to ASTM E810 10.7.1 - since no rotation angle is
specified the average of the two orientations (ε=0° and ε=90°) is required
to meet minimum requirements.
Unknown if sampling in accordance with D4956 Section 9.1
Units: Candela per footcandle per square foot (Candela per Lux per square meter)

6.4 Accelerated Outdoor Weathering

Requirement: 80% of ASTM D4956 Tables 9 & 10 (Types IX & XI),

0.2° observation only
Test Method: Exposure: ASTM G7, 36 months (12 month workzone), AZ & FL,
Direct 45° South exposure, open backing
Reflex: ASTM E810
Exposed samples supplied by Avery Dennison on 3" x 9" aluminum panels. The top
and bottom of each panel was masked such that the center 3" x 6" of weathered
area was measured. Coefficient of Retroreflection (RA) measured at two
orientation angles (ε=0° and ε=90°) and averaged. ε=0° arbitrarily chosen as
long axis of panel inline with projector/detector half-plane.

6.7 Flexibility

Requirement: ASTM D4956 6.7

Test Method: ASTM D4956 7.9

Samples prepared by removing protective liner and liberally applying talc

on adhesive side. Samples then bent around ⅛" diameter mandrel by grasping
long ends of sample and placing center of sample at the mandrel with
adhesive side contacting mandrel, then pulling long ends downward and
together within 1 second until material had a 180° bend at its center.
Samples tested in three (3) orientations - 0°, 45°, and 90° as defined for
coefficient of retroreflection.
