The social and economic need to standardize lighting

Résumé

The lack of standardization in the area of Human Mesopic Vision affects the development of innovative light sources, particularly in urban lighting systems, which enhance security and improve the quality of life in built up areas. Developing relevant international standards in this field can play a significant role in economizing energy and contributing to sustainable development. Standards affect every part of our life. Hundreds of them play an important role in ensuring that products, services and systems meet our needs; both in terms of functionality and protection. For example it is standards which guarantee that electrical products, such as lighting systems, are energy-efficient and safe to use. Sometimes even, standards that serve to protect public safety and health become mandatory and they are included in national or international laws and regulations. Nevertheless, there are still a number of areas where standards are cruelly lacking. This can slow down, or in some cases even stop new product development and associated business.
