Abstract

Sets out recommendations for the lighting of offices and similar tasks, including screen-based tasks. While the tasks may be commonly performed in interiors called offices’, they may also be performed in other interiors; for example, reading, writing and screen-based tasks frequently occur in most types of interior workplaces.

Scope

This Standard sets out recommendations for the lighting of offices and similar tasks, including screen-based tasks. While the tasks may be commonly performed in interiors called ‘offices’, they may also be performed in other interiors; for example, reading, writing and screen-based tasks frequently occur in most types of interior workplaces.
This Standard contains material that adds to or amends the recommendations in AS/NZS 1680.1:2006 and is intended to be read in conjunction with that Standard and with any applicable specific recommendations in other Standards in the AS/NZS 1680 series.
NOTE: See Appendix E for advice on ergonomic and other factors relating to the lighting and use of screen-based equipment (SBE).
The use of this Standard without reference to AS/NZS 1680.1:2006 is a misapplication of the Standard.
