The first task was to collect the documents presenting national lighting recommendations from
differentcountriesthroughnetworkofexperts,andtotranslatethevariouspublishedcriteriaofnon

Recommendedilluminancelevels
Details of the recommended illuminance values for office lighting found in different national
recommendations worldwide are tabulated in Appendix A. Basically, the differences in
recommendedilluminancesarenothighsincetheytendtoberelatedtotheCIErecommendations.
However,therearecountrieswhichrecommendlowervaluesofminimumilluminance.
TheISOstandardISO89951:2002(CIE2001/ISO2002)statesthatintheareaswherecontinuous
workiscarriedoutthemaintainedworkplaneilluminanceshouldnotbelessthan200lx.Inallthe
reviewed recommendations, the minimum work plane illuminances in offices were higher. ISO
89951:2002standarddoesnotgiveanyrecommendationforuniformityofilluminanceonthework
plane, but suggests that the illuminance in the vicinity of the task should not be too low in
comparisontotheilluminanceontaskarea.Forexample,theilluminanceinthevicinityoftaskis

theilluminanceinthevicinityoftaskshouldbeequaltotheilluminanceinthetaskareaifthevalue
for task illuminance is below 200 lx. In most countries which were reviewed, the minimum
maintained illuminance on desks for regular office work is 500 lx, but lower values are

th
Directive2005/32/ECoftheEuropeanParliamentandoftheCouncilofJuly6 2005establishesa
framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energyusing products and amending

andoftheCouncil.ThissocalledEuPDirectiveortheEcodesignDirectivedefinesforwhichtypes

Thedirectivepromotesenvironmentallyconsciousproductdesign(ecodesign)andcontributesto
sustainabledevelopmentbyincreasingenergyefficiencyandthelevelofenvironmentalprotection.
Ecodesign means the integration of environmental aspects in product design with the aim of
improvingtheenvironmentalperformanceoftheproductthroughoutitslifecycle.TheEuPdirective
alsoincreasesthesecurityoftheenergysupplyatthesametime.
The procedure for creating implementing measures under the EuP directive is defined in the
directive. In practice, product groups are identified by the European Commission. Preparatory
studies on these products aim to identify and recommend ways to improve the environmental
performanceofproducts.Theperformanceoftheproductsisconsideredthroughouttheirlifetimeat
