Where Do Standards Come From?

International CIE / ISO European - CEN UK - BSI

CIE
1 2 3 4 5 6 8 7 Divisions - Vision & Colour - Measurement of Light & Radiation - Indoor Environment & Lighting Design - Lighting for Signalling & Transport - Exterior Lighting & Other Applications - Photobiology & Photochemistry - Image Technology

CIE - Process
CIE has large number of TCs Most TCs generate reports Some TCs write standards TCs made up of Experts interested in the topic Standards sent to ISO for adoption

CEN
TC 169 Light and Lighting Main committee meets once per year to review progress and set objectives All members of committee and work groups delegates from national standards bodies.

Luminous environment Luminance distribution Illuminance Illuminance grid* Glare Lighting in the interior space* Colour aspects Flicker and stroboscopic effects Maintenance factor Energy efficiency requirements Daylight Lighting of work stations with Display Screen Equipments (DSE) Variability of light*

* New sections

Luminous environment
Lighting requirements to satisfy basic human needs of Visual comfort Visual performance Safety Health Determined by parameters Luminance distribution Illuminance Glare Directionality of light Colour rendering and appearance aspects Flicker Daylight Variability of the light

Luminance distribution Measures

0.7 - 0.9 Em = 30 lux, Uo = 0.1

0.5 - 0.8 c Em = 50 lux, Uo = 0.1

0.2 - 0.4
Some applications, offices, teaching places, hospitals need brighter surfaces Ec >100 lx, Ew >50 lx

Illuminance
0.5 m Task Immediate Surround

Background

Task lux 750 500 300 200 Uo >0.4/0.6/0.7

Immediate Surround lux 500 300 200 same as task Uo >0.4

Background lux 100 100 100 100 Uo >0.4

Illuminance Grid
p = 0.2 x 5logd
p- is the maximum grid cell size (m), d- is the longer dimension of the area (m)

Lighting in the Interior

Mean cylindrical illuminance requirements in the activity spaces Ec = 50 lx (in offices, teaching areas 150 lx) at 1.2m above floor

Modelling Index Ec/Eh > 0.33 at 1.2m above floor

Directional lighting of visual task Lighting from specific direction to create shadows and emphases

Maintenance Factor

MF = LLMF x LSF x LMF x RSMF

Follow CIE 97.2 Prepare maintenance schedule State all assumptions

Energy Consideration

Follow the recommendations and estimation of energy requirements in EN 15193 Use lighting controls apply daylight dependency factor FD FD range from 1.0 to 0.8 and absence dependency factor FO FO range from 1.0 to 0.7

Lighting of workstation with DSE

Developed in accordance with ISO 9241- 307:2007 recommendations

Variability of Light

Vary the Intensity and Colour of light to support health, emotion and stimulation of people in the work place

The schedule of interiors

53 288 task groups task types

Em UGRL Uo Ra Remarks

- maintained illuminance (lux) - unified glare rating limit - illuminance uniformity - minimum colour rendering indices - specific requirements, Ev, Tcp, DSE, controls, etc.
