LED MEASUREMENT STANDARDS

Ø        In the fast-moving world of technology reliable standards are critical. This is particularly important for today's evolving HB LED technology. Only accurate and internationally comparable metrology supports innovation. The CIE International Commission on Illumination (Commission Internationale De L'Eclairage) has published a recommendation for LED metrology in Document TC-127 (published in 1997, Central Bureau of the CIE, Vienna, Austria).   

Ø        CIE Publication No. x013, Proceedings of the CIE LED Symposium'97 on Standard Methods for Specifying and Measuring LED Characteristics.

Ø        CIE TC 2-45 Measurement of LEDs - Revision of CIE TC-127 (To include improved definitions of quantities and methods of measurement for totol and partial flux of LEDs and to re-evaluate other parts including spectral and color measurements of LEDs).

Ø        TC 2-46 CIE/ISO Standards on LED Measurements (To prepare a CIE/ISO standard on the measurement of LED intensity measurements based on CIE TC 2-127).

Ø        TC 2-50 Measurement of the Optical Prosperities of LED Cluster and Arrays (To produce a technical report for measurement of the optical properties of visible LED clusters and arrays, to derive optical quantities for large area arrays and give recommendations for measurement methods and conditions).
