IEC and CIE publish international standards/technical reports

Recently, IEC and CIE respectively released an international standard/technical report. Details are as follows:


(1) IEC publishes international standards


IEC publishes the international standard "Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems Part 7: Light sources and luminaires primarily emitting visible radiation" (IEC 62471-7:2023)


本标准由TC 34牵头,TC 76配合编制。IEC 62471-7:2023规定了一般用途的电光源和灯具的光生物安全性评估以及一些基本的产品要求。它适用于可见光谱范围(380 nm至780 nm)的光源和灯具,用于普通照明和信号用途。



(II) CIE releases technical report


CIE publishes the technical report "LED Reference Spectrum for Photometer Calibration" (CIE 251:2023)


This technical report was prepared by CIE Division 2. The CIE Standard Illuminant A was introduced in 1932 to represent typical tungsten illumination in chromaticity; for decades, it has been used as the reference spectrum in photometer calibration.


In 2018, the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) published a new type of LED light source in the 4th edition of CIE 015:2018 Chromaticity. Based on one of these new LED light sources, this technical report proposes recommendations for an LED reference spectrum and names it "CIE Reference Spectrum L41" to supplement the photometric calibration of CIE Standard Illuminant A. This document includes list data for the "CIE Reference Spectrum L41" and quality metrics for white LEDs used as physical LED standard light sources.



This document provides information on the typical magnitude of spectral mismatch error V(λ) when calibrating photometers using 'CIE Reference Spectrum L41' instead of CIE Standard Illuminant A, in the context of measurements with filter photometers for LEDs and other light sources.
