Scope ‘This standard specifies general methods of luminance measurements mainly tn artificial illumination, ‘The methods may correspondingly be applied to luminance measurements in daylight illumination, 2. Definitions For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply. (1) Luminous Bificieney Correction To approximate the relative spectropho— tometric curve of the Tuinlnance moter to tho standard relative luminous efficiency curve. (2) Reference Point of Measurement The reference poitit for the measuring position (where the luminance meter is loeated) and measuring direction in the luminance measurement, Usually, tho position of the eye of the observer viewing the objective undor moaruroment is taken as the reference point. (3) Initial Effect Fatigue phenomena in photoelectric receiver used in the juminance meter, appearing especially at tho beginning of light exposure. 3. Aims of Luminanoe Me cuxomente The main aims of luminance measurements are as follows: (1) To investigate i reference value, the luminance complios with the specified standard or (2) To make comparative investigation of luminance on various lighting instal- ations so as to obtain the criteria for maintenatice and improvement in Lighting. ©) To obtain the basis of evaluation of visual environment and visuality. 4, Luminance Meters As the luminance meter, as a rule, a meter of the physical photometric type utilising the optical system shall be used, It shall be corrected for luminous efficiency and shall have a visual anglo specified in 7.1 corresponding to the object of measurement, Romarks 1, The reliability of the result of luminance measurements de- pends mich on the performance of Ue luininince meter used, and it is essential to select and use a luminance meter matching the aims and contents of the measurements, Copyright by the Japanese Industral Standards Sal fan 0€ 0827 10-2003JIS Ck7b24 70 Ml 4933608 0037342 9 mm 7614-1970 As the photoelectric receiver, a photoelectric multiplier tube, Photoelectric tube, photo-conductive cell, photovolatic cell or the like is used. "The photoelectric multiplier is mostly used for the reason that it can be used to low luminance, These luninance meters, although generally superior in sensitivity, are likely to lack accuracy in actual measurements, and to produce unexpected errors, unless accompanied with cali~ bration and correction, Caution shall be taken to this point. 3. In luminance meters having a reflecting mirror or prism in the optical system against the photoolectrie receiver, appreciable errors may be Introduced due to polarization, and corrections ara needed. 4, In luminance meters of which the optical system is so con structed as likely to cause error when the measuring dis~ tance is small, measurements shall be made at a distance sufficiently large compared with the focal distance af the luminance meter. ‘ 5. Caution for Luminance Meters Caution ehall be taken to the following points in the nse of Inminance meters. (1) Extent of luminous efficiency correction (2) Visual angle and measuring distance (3) Characteristics of electric source (4) Temperature characteristics (5) Moisture characteristies (6) Initial effoot (7) Calibration () Seale range 6. General Matters in Measurements 6.1 Matters to be Confizmed bofore Measurements Prior to luminance measuréments, tho site of moasuroment ehall be Inspected, and if possible, a photograph shall be taken from the reference point of measurement or a per- spective projection shall he drawn, and the relations betwoen the reference point of measurement, position of the luminance meter installation and points to be measured. If necessary, confirmation shall be given to the following points. (1) State of electric source (2) Type and size of Light source and total used hours after the initial Lighting (3) State of lighting fittings (4) State of mounting light source in lighting fittings (5) Condition of environment 4 Copyright by the Japanese Industral Standards Sal fan 0€ 0827 10-2003JIS Cx?bb4 70 MM 4933508 0037243 0 mm 3 © 7614-1970 6.2 Matters to bo Attended to in Measuren be alterided to, in order to measure luminance The following points shall rectly. (1) Light source to be preliminarily lighted prior to measurements, in order to stahiline tx various charactertation, (2) Yoltage moasurements to be made as noar as possible tothe Light source {on the primary sao ot the ballast for a diachacge temp) (3) ‘The photoelectric receiver of the Inminance meter to be exposed to Light until it is fally stabilized before starting measurements. (4) ‘The installation of the luminarice moter and setting of the moasuring direction to be correctly made, (5) Readings of the luminance meter, 1/4 or under of its full scale range, not to be taken as far as possible, (6) Brightness within the visual angle of the Luminance meter to bo as uni- formas possible. In case of measuring the luminance of a Nehting fitting or light source, the whole visual angle of the luminance ineter to be covered by the luminous part of the Lighting fitting or light source, 7. Measuring Methods 7.1 General Matters in Measurements (1) ‘The haight of the reference point of meastromont shall comply, as a rule, with the Table, (2) “rhe 1uminance meter shalt be located, as a rule, at the reference point of measurement. (3) The size of the visual angle of the luminance meter in the general measurement of luminance for lighting installations shall comply, as a. rule, with lke Table, I case, however, a luminance meter having a visual angle given in the Table is not obtainable, measurements may be made by allowing the luminance moter to come nearer th measured point in the definite direction on the straight line connecting the meas~ ured point with the reference point of measurement, Copyright by the Japanese Industral Standards Sal fan 0€ 0827 10-20034, JTS Ca7bL4 70 MM 4933608 0037244 2 mm © 7614-1970 Table.

Incase of # stadium, this ma of the spectators, be taken at the position of the eyes (7) Incase of measuring from the reference point of measurement, this may take a larger angle according to the purpose of measuremont, 20 far as the brightness wilhin dv field of vision is nearly uniforia, In measuring the averago surface luminance in roadway lighting installations, measurement may be made once for all on the trape— zoidal form, coinciding with the perspective figure of the road surface within the measuring range, as the ficld of vision. Matters not specified in this standard shall comply with JIS Z 9111—Tlumi~ nation Levels for Roadway Lighting. 7.2. Methods of Luminance Measurements for Indoor Lighting Installations In inrinor Nightifig installations, meaguremonte shall bo made aa in detail as possible, from the reference point of measurement, in the range as determined by the purpose of measurements, including the lighting fittings and windows coming within the oserver's field of vision. 7.3 Methods of Luminance Measurements for Outdoor Lighting Installations In the luminance measurements for ouldoor Iighting installations (including Foad- way lighting installations), if the atmosphere is clouded by rain, fog, smoke, dust or the like, Might from the othor light source, besides the light from the surface to be measured, is scattered and enters the light way and make incidonco into tho luminance meter. Thus the value measured by the luminance meter diffors from the luminance of the spot itself, This and the fact that the value measured also varies due to the dryness of the objective under measurement shall be taken ito consideration, 8, Reporting of Measured Results 8.1 Records of Measuring Conditions Matters likely to influence the meas- ured results, cdrresponding to the purpose of meusurements, shall be recorded, In general, the following items may be mentioned. (1) Lighting Conditions Light source, rating of lighting fittings, specifi~ ee used houre of light source and lighting fittings, condition of daylight, etc. (2) Measuring Conditions Class of luminance meter’, visual angle, refer- once polnt of measurement, electric source voliago, class of lasteumtonts. (3) Envixonment Conditions Date, starting time and finishing time, weather, Temperature, humfdity, atmospheric condition (tog, smoke, etc.) surface conditions (colour, reflection factor, material, dryness, abrasion, etc.) of walls, ceiling, floor, road surface, eic. 8.2 Records of Measured Results By establishing a suitable form. the measured date shall be recorded and put in order. I necessary, the measured data shall be given correction for the reasons shown. Copyright by the Japanese Industral Standards Sal fan 0€ 082711 2003
