1 Scope

This document specifies lighting for those indoor and outdoor sports events most practised in Europe.

This document only considers artificial lighting. 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 intended 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 document refers to the requirements of EN 1838.
2 Normative references

The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For

undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 12665:2011, Light and lighting — Basic terms and criteria for specifying lighting requirements

EN 13032-1, Light and lighting — Measurement and presentation of photometric data of lamps and

luminaires — Part 1: Measurement and file format
3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12665:2011 and the following

apply.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
principal area
actual playing area needed for the performance of a certain sport

Note 1 to entry: Usually this means the actual marked out “field” area for that sport (for instance football), but

in some cases this area comprises an extra playing area around the marked area (e.g. tennis, volleyball, table

tennis).

Note 2 to entry: In all tables in Annex A examples of area sizes are given which are most commonly used for that

sport. The particular area dimensions should be checked at the time when designing a lighting installation.

3.2
total area

area generally comprising the principal area (PA) plus an additional safety area outside the principal

area

Note 1 to entry: The dimensions of this area are generally based on PA, for the relevant sport and level of

competition. For most sports this reference area is limited by a rectangle in the horizontal plane of the ground. An

example of a reference area is given in Figure 1 where l and w stand respectively for the length and the width of

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST EN 12193:2019
EN 12193:2018 (E)

the rectangular reference area. Where a total area (TA) is specified, it will also be necessary to fulfil the

requirements as defined in 7.1 a).
3.3
grid points for measurement and calculation

arrangement of calculation and measurement points and their number in each dimension of the

reference area

Note 1 to entry: When the reference area is rectangular, l and w (see Figure 1) define the dimensions of the

rectangle limited by the four corner points which are common for calculation and measurement.

Note 2 to entry: When the reference area covers a symmetrical track, is l a quarter of the length of the inner

limit of the track and w the width of the track as defined in Figure 2.
3.4
obtrusive light

spill light, which, because of quantitative, directional or spectral attributes in a given context, gives rise

to annoyance, discomfort, distraction or reduction in the ability to see information that is critical to the

visual task

Note 1 to entry In the case of outdoor sports lighting installation, obtrusive light is considered around

the installation and not for spectators, referees or players within the sports area.

[Source: EN 12665:2018, 3.2.46, modified]
3.5
curfew sports lighting

time after which stricter requirements (for the control of obtrusive light) will apply

[Source: see CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations Part 3:2015, D.1.5.]

Note 1 to entry: It is often a condition of use of lighting applied by a government controlling authority, usually

the local government.
3.6
average illuminance over a surface
illuminance averaged over the specified surface
[Source: EN 12665:2018, 3.2.11, modified]

Note 1 to entry: Horizontal illuminance calculated at ground level (0 m) and vertical illuminance calculated at a

height of 1,5 m, unless stated otherwise.
3.6.1
maintained average illuminance over a surface

value below which the average illuminance on the specified surface is not allowed to fall

Note 1 to entry: It is the average illuminance on the specified surface at the time maintenance is to be carried

out.
3.6.2
initial average illuminance over a surface
average illuminance on the specified surface when the installation is new
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST EN 12193:2019
EN 12193:2018 (E)

Note 1 to entry: The initial average illuminance is obtained from the specified maintained value by dividing the

latter value by the maintenance factor at the time maintenance is to be carried out.

3.7
principal camera
camera at location which are designated as requiring full calculations
3.8
secondary camera

camera at other fixed location and might not require full calculations over the whole area (e.g. camera

behind the goal)
3.9
hand-held (or roving camera)

camera whose position can be anywhere on the principal area; camera that requires at least for the four

vertical planes parallel to the edges of the principal area to be calculated
3.10
Television Lighting Consistency Index
TLCI

lighting colour metric developed by the European Broadcasting Union and designed for television

Note 1 to entry: The TLCI Q can be a number between 0 (bad) and 100 (perfect). Although designed for

productions where cameras would be intercut between different locations and/or lighting, it is also useful for

sports lighting.

Note 2 to entry: The EBU requirements are given in EBU Recommendation R.137, EBU Technical document

Tech. 3355 [30].
