CIE Divisions

The technical activities of CIE are carried out under the responsibility of the Divisions each covering one sector of light and lighting. At present there are 7 active Divisions:




Division 1: Vision and Colour

Terms of Reference: To study visual responses to light and to establish standards of response functions, models and procedures of specification relevant to photometry, colorimetry, colour rendering, visual performance and visual assessment of light and lighting.

Australian Divisional Representative: Peter McGinley, division1@cie.org.au.

Download the current Division 1 Activity Report Feb 2010 (PDF, 256 kB).

Ballot.  The Draft Technical Report of TC 1-58 Recommended System for Visual Performance Based Mesopic Photometry ballot finished on 17/05/2010.



Division 2: Measurement of Light and Radiation

Terms of Reference: To study standard procedures for the evaluation of ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation, global radiation, and optical properties of materials and luminaires, as well as the optical properties and performance of physical detectors and other devices required for their evaluation.

Australian Divisional Representative:  Tony Bergen, division2@cie.org.au.

Download the current Division 2 Activity Report March 2009 (PDF, 312 kB).

Ballot.  The Draft Technical Report of TC 2-43 Determination of Measurement Uncertainties in Photometry (incl. Supplement 1: Modules and Examples for the Determination of Measurement Uncertainties, Parts 1 to 4) is currently under ballot.  Those interested in forming a view on the document and recommending how Australia should vote can contact the Division2 rep for a copy.  The deadline for voting is 16/09/2010 so opinions should be lodged with the Division 2 rep by 03/09/2010.



Division 3: Interior Environment and Lighting Design

Terms of Reference: To study and evaluate visual factors which influence the satisfaction of the occupants of a building with their environment, and their interaction with thermal and acoustical aspects, and to provide guidance on relevant design criteria for both natural and man-made lighting; as well as to study design techniques, including relevant calculations, for the interior lighting of buildings; incorporating these findings and those of other CIE Divisions into lighting guides for interiors in general, for particular types of interiors and for specific problems in interior lighting practice.

Australian Divisional Representative: TBA, division3@cie.org.au.

No Division 3 Activity Report available.

 



Division 4: Lighting and Signalling for Transport

Terms of Reference: To study lighting and visual signalling and information requirements of transport and traffic, such as road and vehicle lighting, delineation, signing and signalling for all types of public roads and all kinds of users and vehicles, and visual aids for modes other than road transport.

Australian Divisional Representative: Steve Jenkins, division4@cie.org.au.

Download the current Division 4 Activity Report Feb 2010 (PDF, 110 kB).

 



Division 5: Exterior Lighting and Other Applications

Terms of Reference: To study procedures and prepare guides for the design of lighting for exterior working areas, security lighting, flood lighting, pedestrian and other urban areas without motorized traffic, areas for sports and recreation, and for mine lighting.

Australian Divisional Representative: Peter Jones, division5@cie.org.au.

No Division 5 Activity Report available.

Division 6: Photobiology and Photochemistry

Terms of Reference: To study and evaluate the effects of optical radiation on biological and photochemical systems (exclusive of vision).

Australian Divisional Representative: TBA, division6@cie.org.au.

No Division 6 Activity Report available.

 



Division 7: General Aspects of Lighting

This Division was closed down at the CIE Session 1999, its activities were distributed among the other CIE Divisions, the CIE Central Bureau and the Board of Administration.

 



Division 8: Image Technology

Terms of Reference: To study procedures and prepare guides and standards for the optical, visual and metrological aspects of the communication, processing and reproduction of images, using all types of analogue and digital imaging devices, storage media and imaging media.

Australian Divisional Representative: Bryan Powell, division8@cie.org.au.
