GB/T 23595.1-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering measuring what a phosphor absorbs and what it gives back — the emission spectrum recorded under excitation between 350 nm and 480 nm, the excitation spectrum obtained by holding one emission wavelength and scanning the source, the xenon lamp with a monochromator or an LED source, the instrument accuracy, the dried sample and the test conditions, and the peak wavelength that fixes the colour the finished LED will give. The excitation range now starts at 350 nm instead of 440 nm, which brings the ultraviolet-excited phosphors inside the method. Part 1 of the series. It replaces GB/T 23595.1-2009, in force from 1 August 2025. Issued on 24 January 2025, it has been in force since 1 August 2025, replacing GB/T 23595.1-2009.

Introduction
With the continuous development of semiconductor lighting and display technology, higher requirements are placed on the performance of phosphors.
The use of blue LED yellow phosphor has developed into the use of ultraviolet-blue LED blue-green/yellow/yellow-green/red phosphors, as well as blue LED green/red phosphors, including garnet structure aluminate yellow/yellow-green phosphors, nitride red phosphors, silicate LED rare earth phosphor products of mainstream systems such as salt green/yellow phosphor, nitrogen oxide blue-green phosphor, etc. are becoming more and more diverse.
The comprehensive performance requirements of products are getting higher and higher, especially the new requirements for product reliability.
With the upgrading of local phosphor products and technologies, it is necessary to establish a unified evaluation method that conforms to the existing technology.
GB/T 23595 "Test methods for rare earth phosphors for LEDs" consists of 8 parts.
— Part 1: Determination of spectrum;
— Part 2: Determination of relative brightness;
— Part 3: Determination of chromaticity coordinates;
— Part 4: Determination of high temperature and high humidity performance;
— Part 5: Determination of pH value;
— Part 6: Determination of electrical conductivity;
— Part 7: Determination of thermal quenching properties;
— Part 8: Determination of high voltage accelerated aging performance.
In recent years, with the development of semiconductor lighting technology, the number of phosphor systems has gradually increased, and its application areas have continued to expand, including ordinary color rendering, high Market segments such as color rendering, full spectrum, high-power lighting and general color gamut display require higher precision in the excitation and emission spectra of phosphors.
In terms of spectrum testing instruments, the detection speed, measurement range, stability and measurement accuracy of phosphor samples have been significantly improved. The current national standard stipulates The test range, test accuracy and error cannot meet the actual application requirements. This document focuses on the expansion of the scope of application, test method The increase of light sources in the principle of the method and the upgrade of equipment accuracy have made the measurement steps and parameter requirements of the spectrum clearer.
The test method improves the accuracy and applicability of product testing, which is helpful for domestic and foreign LED rare earth phosphor manufacturers and related industries Production guidance and usage specifications.

4 Principles of the method
Use a xenon lamp as the light source and split it with a monochromator, or use an LED monochromatic light source to excite the sample with light of a specific wavelength and then use a spectrum detector to Spectral scanning is performed to obtain the emission spectrum of the sample. Using a xenon lamp as the light source and a certain emission wavelength as the monitoring wavelength, different wavelengths of light are used for excitation.
The spectrum detector is used to detect and obtain the excitation spectrum of the sample.
