What is BS EN 62722-1 – Luminaire performance about ?

BS EN 62722-1 is an international standard of the BS EN 62722 series that discusses the requirements for luminaire performance. A luminaire is a complete lighting unit, comprised of a light source (lamp or lamps), together with the parts that distribute the light, position and protect the lamps, and connect the lamps to the power supply. The luminaire's function is to direct light to appropriate locations, without causing glare or discomfort. BS EN 62722-1 covers specific performance and environmental requirements for luminaires, incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1000 V. Unless otherwise detailed, performance data covered under the scope of this standard are for the luminaires in a condition representative of new manufacture, with any specified initial ageing procedures completed.
