EN 13032-1, a European standard, describes general principles for the measurement of basic photometric data for lighting application purposes. This standard contains the measurement criteria for the standardization of basic photometric data and details of the CEN file format for electronic data transmission. Besides being a valuable standard in its own right, this section explains the basis of photometric measurement, while the second section presents verification and presentation techniques for special lighting applications.
In short, the EN 13032-1 standard gives the basic principles for the measurement of photometric data. Photometric measurement or photometry is a technique that can be used to measure the concentration of organic and inorganic compounds in solution by determining the absorbance of certain wavelengths of light. Photometric measurement detects heavy metals, nitrates, phosphates, fluorides, pesticides and more.It is an integral component of water quality management for i.
Photometry measures how people perceive light, that is, it focuses on the intensity of light relative to the coverage of the light, where the light is cut off, and distance from the light source. In practical terms, photometric indicates whether a lighting plan meets the measurable lighting requirements for a project.
Photometry attempts to explain this by weighting the power measured at each wavelength by a factor that indicates how sensitive the eye is at that wavelength. The science of measuring light in terms of how the human eye perceives its brightness is known as photometry, which reveals different sensitivities to different wavelengths of visible light.
Photometric measurements are very important in the quality control and development of any lighting used in the human environment. This covers everything from displays such as those found in automobile instrument panels and televisions, to LEDs used in buildings and general lighting.
Photometry is the calculation of visible light based on the response of a typical human eye. Physical, physiological and psychological characteristics all affect the eye's response, and these factors vary greatly from person to person.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides test services for the measurement and presentation of photometric data of lamps and fixtures, within the scope of EN 13032-1 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
