The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) has announced the release of two new publications, providing updated insights and standards in the field of lighting and vision science.
New CIE Technical Report: CIE 255:2025 – The Functional Visual Field
This newly released technical report spans 44 pages and delves into the concept of the Functional Visual Field (FVF)—an essential aspect of visual perception. The report explores how individuals process visual information in different environments, particularly in relation to lighting conditions, task performance, and eye health. This research has implications for workplace safety, traffic and transport systems, and the design of lighting solutions that enhance visibility and reduce eye strain.
New ISO/CIE International Standard: ISO/CIE 8995-1:2025(en)
Titled “Light and Lighting – Lighting of Workplaces – Part 1: Indoor,” this 109-page document serves as an international standard for indoor workplace lighting. It provides updated guidelines to ensure optimal illumination in various professional environments, supporting productivity, comfort, and well-being. The standard is particularly relevant for industries where precision, accuracy, and visual ergonomics play a critical role, such as offices, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing settings.
These new publications reflect the CIE’s ongoing commitment to advancing lighting science and establishing guidelines that benefit both professionals and the general public. For those involved in lighting design, architecture, or occupational health, these documents offer valuable insights and best practices.
