Quality of Illumination in Tesing Laboratory?
indusry 05,May,2019
Here Quality of illumination indusry is referring Efects of Poor

to disribution of brightness in workplace area. It Lighting at Workplace
expects uniform brightness throughout the
14,April,2019
indusrial area. Reduction in glares play major role
in maintaining quality of illumination. Refected
glares can be minimized of eliminated using light
source of low luminance or increasing the angle
from line of vision. There should not be any harsh
shadows in indusry.
Illumination Standards as
per Factory Act, 1948
(Section 17 – Lighting)
As per factory act, 1948 section 17 there are few
rules and regulations to be followed by all
indusries in India. Few important points from
factory act for lighting are mentioned below:
All part of the factory where employees are

working or passing should have sufcient
lighting either by natural or artifcial source
In every factory all glazed windows and
skylights used for the lighting of the workroom
shall be kept clean on both the sides and so far
as agreement with the requirements of any rules
made under sub-section (3) of section 13 will
allow, free from obsruction.
In all factories, there should not be any glares
from directly any light source or indirectly
polished surface
In all factories, there should not be any shadows

which limits the visibility of the employees
which can cause accidents or eye srain
The State Government may prescribe sandards
of adequate and appropriate illumination for
factories or for any class or account of
workshops or for any indusrial process.
LUX Level in Indusry as

per Indian Standard (IS
6665)
Keeping this in mind Indian Burau of Indian
Standards had come up with sandards to be
followed for Indusrial lighting in IS:3646 (I –
1966), IS:3646 (II – 1966), IS:3646 (III – 1968).
They have updated those Illumination lux level

sandards for diferent indusries in 1972 as
IS:6665. Please fnd below recommended
Illumination lux level sandards for indusrial
buildings and processes.

UF is utilization factor
MF Maintenance factor
F is the average lumens value form the light source
Which activity requires the highes level of

illumination?
