3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
light blocking effect
ability of textiles to block light transmission
Note: It is expressed in terms of light blocking rate.

4 Principle
The stable light with certain intensity is irradiated on the surface of the sample, and the illumination after the light passes through the sample is measured and compared with the illumination without the sample. The light blocking effect of the fabric is characterized by calculating the light blocking rate of the sample.
