4.5.4 Methods of inspection.

4.5.4.1 Visual shade matching. . The color and appearance of the Trouser shall match the standard sample when viewed using the AATCC EP 9, Option C, (see 6.5) with a primary light source simulating the spectral quality of average daylight, CIE Illuminant D65, with a color temperature of 6500 (± 200) Kelvin (K) illumination of 100 (± 20) foot candles. Alternatively, the color and appearance of the Coat shall match the standard sample with a primary light source simulating artificial daylight, CIE Illuminant D75, with a color temperature of 7500K (± 200) illumination of 100 (± 20) foot candles in lieu of D65. (See 6.5.1). The Trouser shall also be a good match to the standard sample with a secondary source simulating the spectral quality of incandescent lamplight, CIE Illuminant A, with a color temperature of 2856K (± 200).

4.5.4.2 Toxicity test. When the toxicity requirement (see 3.13) can be demonstrated with historical use data on the finishing treatments used, toxicity testing may not be required

(see 6.7 and 6.9).

5 PACKAGING.

5.1 CUF storage practices of finished garments shall be followed.

6. NOTES

(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful but is not mandatory.)

6.1 Intended use. The India White trouser are intended for wear by female personnel of the

USMA as part of the Cadet Uniforms.

6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:

a. Title, number and date of this document.

b. Size and length required (see 1.2).

c. The specific issue of individual documents referenced (see 2.2 and 2.3).

d. When first article is required (see 3.1.1, 4.2 and 6.3).

e. Conformance inspection (see 3.1.2 and 4.3).

f. Toxicity testing when required (see 3.13 and 4.5.4.2)

g. Inspection conditions (see 4.4).

h. Packaging (see 5.1).

6.3 First article. When a first article inspection is required (see 3.1.1), it will be inspected and approved under the appropriate provisions of FAR 52.209-4. The first article should be a preproduction sample. The contracting officer should specify the appropriate type of first article and the number of units to be furnished. The contracting officer should include specific instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for selection, inspection, and approval of the first article.

6.4 Standard sample. For access to standard samples and patterns contact the following:

ASCE-LWP-CU, Cadet Uniform Factory, 687 Hardee Place, West Point, NY 10996

6.5 Visual shade matching. In 2017, Option A of AATCC Evaluation Procedure 9, Visual

Assessment of Color Difference of Textiles was changed to Option C. NOTE: In case of confusion, the viewing geometry should be “The specimen plane and illumination source will be parallel to each other and aligned so that the light flux is incident at the center of the specimen plane, which is set at a 35 (± 5°) angle relative to the horizontal. The observer will view the specimens at a 90° angle, relative to the plane of the specimens”.

6.5.1 Light source. In 2022, the U.S. Military (All Services) accepted D65 as the new preferred light source for visual shade matching due to the supply chain issues with D75. DD1222’s should reflect which light source is used. If the light source is not indicated on the DD1222, D65 will be assumed by the Government Shade Laboratory.
