GB/T 23595.2-2025 is the English-translated version of LED用稀土荧光粉试验方法 第2部分:相对亮度的测定.
GB/T 23595.2-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering measuring how bright an LED phosphor is against a reference rather than in absolute terms — the standard phosphor whose brightness is fixed at 100, the quasi-monochromatic excitation from 350 nm to 480 nm, the spectroradiometer and the detector corrected to the visual function, the sample pan and the sample requirements, the test steps, and the precision that decides whether two laboratories grading the same powder will agree. Part 2 of the eight-part series. It replaces GB/T 23595.2-2009, which covered only the yellow phosphor of a white LED lamp. In force from 1 August 2025. Issued on 24 January 2025, it has been in force since 1 August 2025, replacing GB/T 23595.2-2009.

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 The color rendering, full spectrum, high-power lighting and general color gamut display market segments have higher requirements for the brightness performance of phosphors.
In terms of detection speed, measurement range, stability and measurement accuracy of phosphor samples, the test range specified in the current national standard is significantly improved.
The range, test accuracy and error cannot meet the actual application requirements. This document uses relative brightness to characterize optical performance and changes the standard applicable The content of the scope of use, instrument equipment, test steps, technical indicators of relative brightness meter and test precision parameters can well meet the needs of the industry.
The rapid analysis and testing requirements for rare earth phosphors for LEDs have improved the accuracy and applicability of product testing, and have helped domestic and foreign LED rare earth phosphors to Production guidance and usage specifications for local phosphor manufacturers and related industries.

3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 5838.1 and the following apply to this document.
3.1 Relative brightness
Br The brightness ratio of a phosphor sample to a standard phosphor under specific excitation conditions.
4 Principles of the method
The quasi-monochromatic light of a specific wavelength is used as the excitation light source. The fluorescence generated by the excited phosphor is collected and then the light is corrected by the visual function.
The electrical detector converts the light signal into an electrical signal. Under the same conditions, the brightness of the standard phosphor is 100, and the relative brightness.
5 Reagents and Materials
Standard phosphor. Relative brightness standard sample of garnet structure aluminate series phosphor for white light LED, No. GSB04-3888- 2021, brand YAG560.
6 Instruments and Equipment
6.1 Spectroradiometer. Use a quasi-monochromatic excitation source with a wavelength between 350nm and 480nm, and the half-peak bandwidth of the excitation spectrum is not greater than
