Solar energy — Specification and classification of instruments for measuring hemispherical solar and direct solar radiation

This document establishes a classification and specification of instruments for the measurement of hemispherical solar and direct solar radiation integrated over the spectral range from approximately 0,3 μm to about 3 μm to 4 μm. Instruments for the measurement of hemispherical solar radiation and direct solar radiation are classified according to the results obtained from indoor or outdoor performance tests. This document does not specify the test procedures.
