Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive technical requirements for the Hong Kong SAR regional emblem. Key areas include: - Shape and Dimensions: The emblem's shape and pattern must comply with the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It defines standard sizes (No. 1, 2, and 3) with strict tolerances for diameter, thickness, and angular positioning. - Color Specifications: Specific colorimetric data is required for the emblem's red surface and the Bauhinia petal white, calculated using the CIE standard illuminant D65. - Material and Paint Performance: The emblem must meet stringent criteria for paint film performance, including gloss, adhesion, hardness, and resistance to water, humidity, and salt spray. The emblem body must also possess sufficient bending strength and impact resistance. - Appearance and Typography: The surface must be clear without defects like shrinkage holes or cracks. The Chinese and English text must conform to the standard font samples provided.
Testing methods
Testing involves precise dimensional measurements using tools with an accuracy of 0.5% or better. Colorimetric measurements are conducted according to GB/T 3979 and GB/T 11186. Paint film performance is evaluated through various standard tests for adhesion, hardness, and environmental resistance. Material strength is assessed via bending strength tests and a drop ball impact test, where a steel ball is dropped from a height of 1 meter. Visual appearance is assessed under specific lighting conditions.
