Overview
ISO/CIE 8995-3:2018 - "Lighting of work places - Part 3: Lighting requirements for safety and security of outdoor work places" specifies lighting criteria that support the visual needs for safety and security in outdoor workplaces. It provides target maintained illuminances, uniformity, glare limits and minimum colour‑rendering performance to help ensure visibility, hazard recognition and comfortable night‑time operation across a range of outdoor risk environments.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Risk‑based illuminance (Em): The standard defines maintained average illuminance values for different risk levels:
- Very low risk: 5 lx
- Low risk: 10 lx
- Medium risk: 20 lx
- High risk: 50 lx
- Illuminance uniformity (Uo): Minimum uniformity ratios are specified (typically 0.25–0.40) to avoid deep dark spots that can hide hazards or impede surveillance.
- Glare control (CIE Glare Rating, GR): Glare rating limits are set (e.g., RG,L = 55, 50 or 45 depending on risk) and verification uses the CIE GR method (CIE 112) to assess direct and veiling luminance from luminaires.
- Colour rendering (CIE Ra): Minimum CIE 1974 general colour rendering index Ra ≥ 20 to ensure safety colours and human features remain recognizable.
- Verification procedures: Requirements for verification by measurement, calculation or inspection, including:
- Measuring illuminance in the plane of the task using the design grid,
- Considering meter calibration, lamp photometry and actual surface reflectances,
- Documenting assumptions used in glare and colour‑rendering evaluations.
- Design criteria: Annex A (normative) provides details on glare calculation and practical guidance for applying the criteria.
Practical applications and users
ISO/CIE 8995-3:2018 is intended for lighting designers, electrical engineers, facility and site managers, occupational safety professionals and asset owners responsible for outdoor industrial and commercial sites such as:

Le document SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 propose des normes essentielles concernant l'éclairage des lieux de travail en extérieur, en se concentrant spécifiquement sur les exigences d'éclairage pour la sécurité et la sûreté. Cette norme est indispensable pour garantir que les environnements de travail en extérieur offrent une visibilité adéquate, contribuant ainsi à la sécurité des employés et à la prévention des accidents. La portée de la norme ISO/CIE 8995-3:2018 est claire et pertinente, car elle établit des critères qui permettent d’évaluer et de planifier l’éclairage dans des zones de travail extérieures. En tenant compte des besoins visuels des travailleurs, elle assure non seulement la sécurité, mais aussi le bien-être général des employés. Cela renforce l'importance d'avoir un éclairage approprié dans les espaces où les travailleurs sont exposés à des risques potentiels, notamment pendant les périodes de faible luminosité. Parmi les points forts de la norme, on trouve son approche basée sur des données scientifiques et des études approfondies sur l'impact de l'éclairage sur la perception visuelle et le comportement humain. En intégrant des recommandations spécifiques sur les niveaux d'éclairement, la distribution lumineuse et la température de couleur, le document offre des directives précises pour les concepteurs et les gestionnaires de l'éclairage dans les espaces extérieurs. De plus, la norme SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 se révèle particulièrement pertinente dans le contexte actuel où la sécurité sur le lieu de travail est une priorité croissante pour de nombreuses organisations. Avec l’accent mis sur les installations extérieures, cette norme répond à un besoin majeur dans divers secteurs, allant de la construction aux opérations industrielles. En résumé, le SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 représente un cadre de référence crucial pour la mise en œuvre des exigences d'éclairage dans les lieux de travail en extérieur, favorisant ainsi à la fois la sécurité des travailleurs et l'efficacité opérationnelle.
Die SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 ist ein wesentlicher Standard, der sich mit den Beleuchtungsanforderungen für die Sicherheit und den Schutz an Außenarbeitsplätzen beschäftigt. Dieser Standard definiert eine umfassende Richtlinie, die darauf abzielt, die visuellen Bedürfnisse von Personen in solchen Umgebungen zu berücksichtigen. Ein herausragendes Merkmal der SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 ist der Fokus auf Sicherheitsaspekte. Die präzisen Vorgaben zur Beleuchtungsstärke und -verteilung gewährleisten, dass those concerned in der Lage sind, potenzielle Gefahren rechtzeitig zu erkennen und zu reagieren. Außerdem deckt der Standard nicht nur den reinen funktionalen Aspekt der Beleuchtung ab, sondern stellt auch sicher, dass eine angemessene Lichtqualität vorhanden ist, um die visuelle Ermüdung zu minimieren und die Effektivität der Arbeit zu steigern. Ein weiterer bedeutender Vorteil dieser Norm ist ihre Relevanz für moderne Arbeitsplätze, besonders in Sektoren wie Bau, Lagerhaltung und Außenveranstaltungen. Sie trägt dazu bei, dass Arbeitgeber und Verantwortliche für die Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz rechtliche Anforderungen erfüllen und gleichzeitig ein sicheres Arbeitsumfeld schaffen. Dies ist besonders wichtig in Zeiten, in denen der Fokus verstärkt auf Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitnehmerwohlbefinden gelegt wird. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 einen fundierten Rahmen für die Beleuchtung von Arbeitsplätzen im Freien bietet, der sowohl die Sicherheit als auch die Effizienz fördert. Die klare Struktur und die spezifischen Anforderungen machen diesen Standard zu einer wertvollen Ressource für Fachleute im Bereich der Beleuchtung und Sicherheit.
The SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 standard is a crucial document that outlines the specific lighting requirements designed to enhance safety and security in outdoor work environments. Its scope is meticulously defined, aiming to establish a comprehensive framework that addresses the visual needs for safety in various outdoor work settings. This standard is particularly relevant for industries that depend on outdoor operations, such as construction, mining, and agriculture, where adequate lighting is essential for both productivity and the wellbeing of personnel. One of the strengths of the SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 standard is its focus on the functional aspects of lighting, ensuring that outdoor workplaces meet the necessary visual performance levels to minimize hazards and enhance operational safety. It takes into account factors like the intensity of light, uniformity, and the color rendering properties of artificial lighting, which are critical for workers to perform tasks safely. Additionally, the standard emphasizes the role of lighting in security measures, addressing the necessity for well-lit environments to deter potential hazards and criminal activities. By specifying the required illumination levels and uniformity criteria, it provides effective guidelines that help to create a safer atmosphere in outdoor settings, promoting a proactive approach to risk management. The SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 also reflects current technological advancements in lighting solutions, integrating modern practices and innovations that can be applied to enhance outdoor illumination. This integration ensures that employers can leverage cutting-edge technologies to not only comply with regulatory requirements but also foster a workplace culture that prioritizes safety and the wellbeing of their workforce. In summary, the SIST ISO/CIE 8995-3:2020 standard is highly relevant for any organization operating within outdoor environments, providing a robust framework for ensuring that lighting conditions support both safety and security efficiently. Its comprehensive guidelines enhance visual clarity while addressing critical factors related to worker protection, making it an indispensable resource for industry professionals.
