Proceedings of the 4th CIE Expert Symposium on Colour and Visual Appearance 6 – 7 September 2016, Prague, Czech Republic, September 2016. Visual assessment of the appearance of objects and materials involves aspects such as the object itself and its optical characteristics; the position, size, shape and spectrum of the light source; the nature of the visual field surrounding the object; and the observer’s visual system with its amazing complexity. Research areas have been formed which are devoted to the four visual attributes: colour, gloss, texture and translucency. The development of new visual appearance effects, such as goniochromatism and graininess, have required progress and evolution in the quantification of visual appearance and corresponding measurement setups. The outcome of research in this area is significant for industrial sectors where the measurement of visual appearance is important and for manufacturers of measurement equipment. During this joint symposium of CIE Divisions 1 and 2 presentations were given on the state of the art in our understanding of the perception of the visual attributes; the latest achievements in the fields of novel measurement methodologies; and possible applications of visual appearance knowledge and novel measurement methodologies for the design and characterization of modern optical surfaces. The publication consists of 508 pages including 65 contributions and is readily available at the National Committees of the CIE or via the CIE Webshop.

Visual Aspects of Time-Modulated Lighting Systems – Definitions and Measurement Models, August 2016. The potential negative impact of temporal light artefacts has prompted lighting manufacturers, lighting application specialists, universities and governments to look for ways to measure the impact and come to a better understanding of the temporal quality aspects of lighting systems. In this context, the CIE formed Technical Committee (TC) 1-83 “Visual Aspects of Time-Modulated Lighting Systems”. This Technical Note (TN) is an intermediate product of the work of the TC. In the first part of the TN, new definitions for the perceptual effects modulated light can produce are given. In the second part, an overview of the relevant literature is given as well as an overview of the parameters that influence the visibility of the different TLAs. The last part gives a description of two methods, one in the time domain and one in the frequency domain, which can be used to quantify TLAs. Furthermore, three implementations of the general methods into specific visibility measures are given as an example.

CIE 219:2016
Minimum Summer Levels of 25(OH)D during Winter by Minimal Exposure to Sunbeds: Requirements and Weighing the Advantages and Disadvantages, August 2016. Vitamin D is widely accepted as necessary for the regulation of calcium homeostasis and thus a healthy skeleton. Strictly a pro-hormone, it is unique amongst vitamins in having a second source pathway that is independent of oral intake: a major source of the vitamin is through synthesis in the skin. For those living at middle to high latitudes there is a period of the year when it is impractical to synthesize any appreciable vitamin D in the skin through exposure to solar UV radiation. To prevent a decline in vitamin D status an alternative source of the vitamin may be required at these times. This may be through diet (most usually low in vitamin D), supplementation, or an alternative source of UV radiation: the sun (by travelling to lower latitudes) or an artificial source. It has been shown, by reference to published work and calculations presented here, that it is possible to raise / maintain vitamin D levels using artificial UV radiation as emitted by commercial sunbeds. However, current sunbeds available on the high street are not designed or optimized for this purpose, and provide a significantly higher UV-A burden than sunlight for the same vitamin D potential. Unless and until publicly available sunbeds are fully characterized for their ability to initiate previtamin D synthesis they cannot be recommended as a safe and effective method of maintaining vitamin D status because the appropriate exposure (e.g. duration and frequency of use for this purpose) cannot be assessed. Sources designed specifically for the purpose, with a lower UV-A burden and clear application guidelines, would be more appropriate facilities for those who choose to gain vitamin D through artificial UV exposure, rather than by other means. The publication is written in English, consists of 29 pages and is readily available at the National Committees of the CIE or via the CIE Webshop.

Research Roadmap for Healthful Interior Lighting Applications, May 2016. Although light is defined as electromagnetic radiation that provides the stimulus for vision, we now know conclusively that ocular detection of this signal also has many other physiological and psychological effects in humans and other organisms. This knowledge has led some to argue for rapid adoption of lighting recommendations that incorporate “lighting for health” elements, whereas others have argued that a more cautious approach would be wiser. The report delivers a research roadmap of questions in themed groups: Fundamental Processes, Daily Pattern, Longer Patterns, Application, Application – Specific, and Individual Differences. The roadmap indicates the ease with which each question might be answered and its importance to lighting application in the short term. The publication is written in English, consists of 47 pages and is readily available at the National Committees of the CIE or via the CIE Webshop.

Relating Photochemical and Photobiological Quantities to Photometric Quantities, October 2014. Optical radiation has different effects on biological systems. To quantify these effects usually the spectral distribution of a radiant quantity is weighted with the action spectrum of that effect. By this a relation between the photobiological and radiometric quantities is made. In very recent publications, mainly in the field of photobiological safety, a link between an actinic quantity and the corresponding photometric quantity is made mainly to give a simplified risk assessment procedure by means of absolute photometric measurements instead of absolute spectroradiometric measurements. This Technical Note proposes the definition of new terms relating photobiological or photochemical quantities to photometric quantities. It adheres to the correct use of units within the present International System of Units SI. The CIE publication is written in English, consists of 8 pages and is freely downloadable from the CIE webpage.

Test Method for LED Lamps, LED Luminaires and LED Modules, September 2014. This standard provides requirements to perform reproducible photometric and colorimetric measurements on LED lamps, LED modules, and LED luminaires (LED devices). It also provides advice for the reporting of the data. The availability of reliable and accurate photometric data for LED devices is a basic requirement for designing good lighting systems and evaluating performance of products. By obtaining these data through measurements in specific normalized measuring conditions, the consistency of the data should be ensured between different laboratories (within the limits of the declared measurement uncertainty) and comparison of different products on the same basis is possible. The standard aims in particular to cover measurement methods for testing the compliance of LED devices with the photometric and colorimetric requirements of LED performance standards issued by IEC TC 34 “Lamps and related equipment.” The Draft International Standard has been sent to CIE National Committees for comments and sales to interested parties. It is still subject to changes and may not yet be referred to as a CIE International Standard. When approved by the CIE NCs, it will be published as a CIE International Standard.

CIE 213:2014
Guide to Protocols for Describing Lighting, August 2014. Lighting quality encompasses human needs, architectural integration and economic constraints (including energy). To develop information about the luminous conditions that will fulfill lighting quality goals in various settings one needs to know how people respond, in the broadest sense, to electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye and processed by various physiological systems. Common definitions and measurement protocols for lighting installations are needed to support this work and to support communication with designers. This guide, the work of CIE Technical Committee 3-34, establishes a catalogue of application-independent descriptors of lighting and protocols associated with each descriptor. The committee developed a system of two categories of descriptors: basic descriptors, which ought to be reported in any project and which can generally be measured with relatively simple equipment, and specialized descriptors, which will not always be required and the measurement of which is more complex. This document is intended to aid the development of lighting quality concepts by providing a common basis for communication about the luminous conditions, existing or planned, in a space. By using the definitions provided here, and by following the protocols and the overall procedure, writers and readers alike can come to a deeper understanding of the physical conditions that stimulate human response to light in the built environment. The publication is written in English, with a short summary in French and German. It consists of 76 pages with 41 figures and 6 tables and is readily available at the National Committees of the CIE or via the CIE Webshop.

CIE 209:2014
Rationalizing Nomenclature for UV Doses and Effects on Humans, April 2014. The field of atmospheric ultraviolet radiation (UV) research is plagued with difficulties in nomenclature. The problems arise from (a) the strong wavelength dependence of UV radiation received at the Earth’s surface, (b) the ad-hoc way disparate groups have approached the subject and (c) the incorrect use of units when action spectra for different UV effects are incorporated. This report highlights some of the issues, taking vitamin-D synthesis, a beneficial effect, as a specific example. Standard vitamin-D dose (SDD) and minimum vitamin-D dose (MDD) are proposed, analogous to the standard erythema dose (SED) and minimum erythema dose (MED) that are in common use for erythema. In recognition of the fact that currently accepted action spectra may be revised in future if new data become available, it is recommended that spectrally resolved irradiance measurements are maintained and continued so that biologically effective irradiances and doses may be reprocessed. The joint publication of CIE and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is written in English, with a short summary in French and German. It consists of 20 pages with 3 figures and 1 table and is readily available for free download on the CIE webpage.

A Computerized Approach to Transmission and Absorption Characteristics of the Human Eye, April 2012. There has long been a need for a series of reference spectral transmission and absorption data for the human eye for applications in eye research and optical safety studies. TC 6-15 collected spectral data from the literature and determined from that literature the best form for the wavelength dependence of the transmission and absorption of the components of the human eye. After critical review, the data have been compiled in tabular form in comma-delimited computer-accessible data files. The tabulated data consist of the transmission and absorption data of the clear ocular media, including the cornea, the aqueous, the lens, and the vitreous of the young (< 10 years old) human eye and the rhesus eye for the wavelength range of 0,2 μm to 2,5 μm. Transmittance data of the total clear ocular media in the human eye for the wavelength range 0,3 μm to 0,7 μm and for ages between 1 year and 100 years are also tabulated. These data can be downloaded by readers of this Technical Report from the CIE website. The publication is written in English, with a short summary in French and German. It consists of 66 pages with 23 figures and 9 tables. This publication is available via the website of the CIE Central Bureau.

It consists of 82 pages with 41 figures. This publication is available via the website of the CIE Central Bureau.
CIE 201:2011
Recommendations on Minimum Levels of Solar UV Exposure, November 2011. This Technical Report addresses the issue of sensible exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The scientific evidence of beneficial effects of solar exposure has been reviewed, in particular on the incidence and mortality to cancers other than skin cancer. Although the evidence is not unequivocal, the committee has found considerable evidence to deem it plausible that solar exposure may reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. The evidence for similar effects on breast and prostate cancer and on melanoma is less, but such effects are considered as plausible, too. Possibly the production of vitamin D plays a role in this respect. The report is split into two parts: The first part (Part I) gives guidance for a sensible exposure regime to profit from beneficial health impacts from moderate solar (UV) exposure, the second part (Part II) is a review of scientific data that underpin the guidance in Part I. The publication is written in English, with a short summary in French and German. It consists of 88 pages with 4 figures and 20 tables. This publication is available via the website of the CIE Central Bureau.
