BS EN 12193:2007 pdf free.Light And Lighting – Sports Lighting.
Introduction
BS EN 12193 deals with sports lighting to ensure good visual conditions for players, athletes, referees, spectators and CTV transmission. The objective of this document is to provide recommendations and specify requirements for good quality sports lighting by:
— optimising the perception of visual information used during sports events;
— maintaining the level of visual performance;
— providing acceptable visual comfort;
— restricting obtrusive light.
BS EN 12193 specifies lighting for those indoor and outdoor sports events most practised in Europe. It provides lighting values for the design and control of sports lighting installations in terms of illuminances, uniformity, glare restriction and colour properties of the light sources. All requirements are meant to be as minimum requirements. It also gives methods by which these values are measured. For the limitation of glare, it also points out restrictions on the location of the luminaires for specific applications.
For emergency lighting this standard refers to the requirements of EN 1838.
