What is BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 - Photometric data of lamps and luminaires about?
BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 establishes general principles for the measurement of basic photometric data for lighting application purposes. BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 establishes the measurement criteria needed for the standardisation of basic photometric data, and details of the CEN file format for electronic data transfer. BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 is part 1 of a multi part standard. Part 1 deals with the basic photometric measurement, and file format. Other parts deal with lamps, and luminiares data depending on the applications.
Who is BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 - Photometric data of lamps and luminaires for?
BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 on photometric data of lamps, and luminaires is helpful for:
- Night-vision device manufacturers
- Computers, tablets, and TV’s manufacturers
- Interior designing projects
- Commercial and domestic lighting requirements
Why should you use BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 - Photometric data of lamps and luminaires?
The provision of reliable, and accurate photometric data is a basic requirement for any lighting engineer in order to design a good lighting scheme. BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 aims to put on a common basis current lighting practices so that a luminaire with its associated performance data, purchased in one country, can be directly compared, and accurately employed in another country.
BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 guidelines allows manufacturers to prepare quality lamps and luminaires. The reliability of these data depends also on well-defined qualifications about the management, the organization, and the metrological referability of the laboratory, and the skill of the staff. BS EN 13032-1:2004+A1 also provides the characterizations, measurements, and descriptions which helps in measuring basic photometric data for lighting application purposes.
