Not
only does the CIE provide an international platform for everyone
interested in light, lighting and image technology, but we also offer
access to the latest global information on these subjects.
We
develop the common international standards that give rational and
competitive solutions for large markets. These are the standards that can
be used as a common frame of reference. And they alleviate the setting up
of technical specifications by local end-users, manufacturers or
suppliers.
Authorities and end-user federations can challenge an
international forum to come up with new solutions. Therefore, a continuous
think-tank process is in operation.
Also,
by being involved in the standardisation process, companies can influence
future regulations and specifications for products, processes and
applications. And at the same time, they can obtain, early on, the
information about potential market requirements as well as demands made by
authorities.
All of
this provides impulses for the future development of better, more
economical and energy-friendly solutions.
By
participating in international standardisation, duplication of work is avoided.
The CIE
provides numerous other benefits, such as research recognition. This is in
addition to our providing a platform for international co-operation and
exchange in research.
We also
support developing countries by involving them in CIE projects and
activities. This demonstrates just how much we nurture - and count on -
teamwork. Many groups, including manufacturers and users, trade
associations, governmental bodies and authorities, research institutions,
take part. And of course, this results in everyone making important
contacts.
