Introduction and motivation
Metrology in the field of multidimensional reflectometry measurement is of importance for many industrial branches, in which European countries and especially EU member states and countries associated with the 7th framework programme are in a world leading position. e.g. automotive, paper, printing, packaging, cosmetics, coatings, plastics, steel industries.
The appearance of a product is important because it is frequently one of the most critical parameters affecting customer choice. For this reason, since 20 years, a lot of efforts have been conceded by the manufacturers to propose new and sophisticated visual effects, like metallic paintings, goniochromatism, deep matt finishes or sparkle effects for instance.
This project thus will help at proactive mode to strengthen the global competitiveness of the European industry by developing necessary metrological and measurement capabilities and by underpinning and supporting the corresponding quality management systems in these branches.
This European NMI-network will be seen by all stakeholders to be the provider of independent information and metrology for appearance and appearance-related measurands. This will be accomplished by artefacts, databases and protocols developed within the project, to be the basis for future international standards.
