Scope
GB/T 13379-2023 is the English-translated version of 视觉工效学原则 室内工作场所照明.
GB/T 13379-2023 sets out the visual ergonomics requirements that lighting in indoor workplaces has to meet.
It covers the light environment, luminance distribution, illuminance, glare, visual fatigue, the directionality of light, colour properties, flicker and stroboscopic effects, daylighting, lighting at visual display terminal workplaces, the adjustment performance of the lighting system, emergency lighting, the maintenance and operation of lighting installations and energy saving, and it defines terms such as light environment, visual task and visual ergonomics.
An informative annex gives a test procedure for visual performance and error rate. It applies to indoor workplaces in residential, public and industrial buildings, and not to low-light places such as projection or the handling of photosensitive materials.
It replaces GB/T 13379-2008, was issued on 7 September 2023 and has applied since 1 April 2024.

Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 13379-2008 "Visual Ergonomics Principles for Indoor Workplace Lighting" and is consistent with GB/T 13379-2008.
In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
---Added terms such as visual ergonomics, visual efficacy, color tolerance, flicker, (light) flicker index, and stroboscopic effect visibility (see Section 3 chapter);
---Added illumination requirements for walls and ceilings (see 4.3);
---Added strobe requirements (see 4.8);
---Changed the illumination uniformity (see 4.3.9, 4.3.7 of the 2008 version);
--- Added regulations for the maximum surface brightness limit of protective cover lamps (see 4.4.3);
---Changed the regulations on the average brightness limit of visual display terminal lamps (see 4.10.2, 4.9.2 of the 2008 version);
--- Added provisions for visual fatigue (see 4.5);
--- Added requirements for the adjustment performance of the lighting system (see 4.11).
This document was drafted with reference to ISO 8995-1:2002 "Workplace Lighting Part 1: Indoor", and the degree of consistency is not equivalent.
