Survey on measurements of surface reflectance and colour

Please find below a link to an online survey intended for industries making surface reflectance or colour measurements.  If this is relevant for you, we appreciate your filling out the survey, which shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.  The information we gather will be used to help CIE decide next steps with regard to standards, guidance and training.
