FOREWORD
This Indian Sta ndard ( Part 1 ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized bv the Illumination Engineering and Luminaires Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Eleetrotechnical Division Council.
The object of this standard is to recommend the adoption of the test procedures that will give
acceptable results in determining and reporting the photometric characteristics of luminaires.
This standard ( Part 1 ) is one of the series of IndianEStandards which deals with the methods of
photometry of luminaires. The series consists of the following parts:
Method of photometry of luminaires
Part 1 Luminaires for use in interior lighting;
Part 2 Luminaires for road and street lighting; and
Part 3 Luminaires for floodlighting.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from CIE Publication No. 24
( TC 2.4) 1973 on photometry of indoor type luminaires with tubular fluorcescent lamps issued by
the International Electrotechnical Commission.
This standard, when published, will supersede IS 7678 : 1975 ‘Method of photometric testing of
incandescent type luminaires for general lighting service’ which covers the method for photo-
metric testing of filament type general lighting luminaires.

5.5 Electrical Measurements
The luminaire should be operated at the speci-
fied voltage throughout the test, measured at
the supply terminals of the luminaire.
The position of the mirror in relation to the
luminaire is important as this error will usually

a) the distance between mirror and luminaire
is reduced.
b) the angle between a normal to the mirror

Possibly the best method of locating sources of
stray light is to view by eye from the position
of the photocell as the luminaire is rotated on
the photometer.

of inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and
operated by the producer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by
BIS for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under
which a Iicence for the use of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or
producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
