ASTM WK95150
New Test Method for Privacy Metric
1. Scope
A standard for measurement of the ability of a translucent panel to obstruct view of objects on the other side from the viewer. There are several methods by which a panel may obstruct view of an object on one side of the panel from a viewer on the other side. The panel may be opaque. It may redirect light on a large scale to provide a warped image. It may provide surface reflection (as in a one-way mirror). This scope of this standard is limited to a privacy metric for panels that redirect light by scattering to obstruct view via translucency.Keywords

Privacy glass is an important product, and there are multiple ways that the amount of privacy has been gauged. It would be a service to the industry so customers can compare privacy panels.
