Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

Introduction
The solar reflectance property of a coating system is determined by the absorbed solar energy
(especially heat) of a building or an object.
This property can be expressed by a numerical value determined by calculation, thanks to which the
impact of solar energy (especially heat) on the environment can be easily understood.
Reduction of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide (CO ) is achieved by reflecting the solar energy back
2
into the atmosphere, which, reduces global warming. The effect of energy saving by coating system can
be determined using solar reflectance.

4.1 Spectrophotometer
Spectrophotometer with a spectrometer capable of collecting radiations from 300 nm to 2 500 nm
utilizing an integrating sphere with either 8°:di or di:8° geometry so that the regular or specular
reflection may be included. See CIE 15 for details.
5 Procedure
5.1 Spectral reflectance of test specimen
Measurement of spectral reflectance of test specimens shall use the apparatus described in Clause 4
and the scale used for reflectometers shall be traceable to national metrology institutions. Unless
otherwise specified, spectral reflectance is measured from 300 nm to 2 500 nm and sampling interval
is 5 nm.
The test specimens shall be measured at the standard conditions, a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C and a
relative humidity of (50 ± 5) %, as specified in ISO 3270. If the alternative conditions are used, it shall
be stated in the test report.
5.2 Reference global solar radiation
Reference global solar radiation as defined by the SMARTS 2.9.5 model shall be used. The parameters
of reference global solar radiation are: at sea level for air mass, 1,0; aerosol optical depth, 0,10; water
vapor, 1,42 atm-cm; ozone, 0,340 atm-cm. The reference global solar radiation from 300 nm to 2 500 nm
for 5 nm interval is described in Annex A. If the parameter to calculate reference global solar radiation
is different, it shall be reported.

solar radiation using Formula (1):

where
ρ is the solar reflectance;
s

E(λ) is the reference global solar radiation (W∙m ∙nm );
ρ(λ) is the spectral reflectance of specimen;
λ is the range of wavelength from λ to λ .

NOTE In case of the wavelength interval is 1 nm instead of 5 nm, the formula becomes as follows:

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

Introduction
The solar reflectance property of a coating system is determined by the absorbed solar energy
(especially heat) of a building or an object.
This property can be expressed by a numerical value determined by calculation, thanks to which the
impact of solar energy (especially heat) on the environment can be easily understood.
Reduction of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide (CO ) is achieved by reflecting the solar energy back
2
into the atmosphere, which, reduces global warming. The effect of energy saving by coating system can
be determined using solar reflectance.

4.1 Spectrophotometer
Spectrophotometer with a spectrometer capable of collecting radiations from 300 nm to 2 500 nm
utilizing an integrating sphere with either 8°:di or di:8° geometry so that the regular or specular
reflection may be included. See CIE 15 for details.
5 Procedure
5.1 Spectral reflectance of test specimen
Measurement of spectral reflectance of test specimens shall use the apparatus described in Clause 4
and the scale used for reflectometers shall be traceable to national metrology institutions. Unless
otherwise specified, spectral reflectance is measured from 300 nm to 2 500 nm and sampling interval
is 5 nm.
The test specimens shall be measured at the standard conditions, a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C and a
relative humidity of (50 ± 5) %, as specified in ISO 3270. If the alternative conditions are used, it shall
be stated in the test report.
5.2 Reference global solar radiation
Reference global solar radiation as defined by the SMARTS 2.9.5 model shall be used. The parameters
of reference global solar radiation are: at sea level for air mass, 1,0; aerosol optical depth, 0,10; water
vapor, 1,42 atm-cm; ozone, 0,340 atm-cm. The reference global solar radiation from 300 nm to 2 500 nm
for 5 nm interval is described in Annex A. If the parameter to calculate reference global solar radiation
is different, it shall be reported.
NOTE SMARTS 2.9.5 is a free software. It can be downloaded from the following website: https: //www .nrel
.gov/grid/solar -resource/smarts .html

5.3 Determination of solar reflectance
Solar reflectance is determined by the spectral reflectance of test specimen and the reference global
solar radiation using Formula (1):
λ

∫ Edλρ⋅ λλ
() ()
λ
1
ρ = (1)
S
λ
2
∫ Edλλ
()
λ

where
ρ is the solar reflectance;
s
−2 −1
E(λ) is the reference global solar radiation (W∙m ∙nm );
ρ(λ) is the spectral reflectance of specimen;
λ is the range of wavelength from λ to λ .
1 2
NOTE In case of the wavelength interval is 1 nm instead of 5 nm, the formula becomes as follows:
λ λ
2 2
ρλ= EE()⋅ρλ()/ ()λ
s
∑∑
λ λ
1 1
Example of a determination of solar reflectance is shown in Annex B.
6 Test report
Test report shall include the followings.
a) a reference to this document, i.e. ISO 22969:2019;
b) a description of test specimen;
c) the type of spectrophotometer;
d) the reflection measurement geometry;
