Scope
GB/T 5700-2023 is the English-translated version of 照明测量方法.
GB/T 5700-2023 is the Chinese national standard for measuring lighting in buildings, on roads, in night-scene installations and at outdoor workplaces.
It fixes the general requirements on measurement purpose, conditions and content, the instruments - illuminance meter, luminance meter, spectroradiometer, stroboscopic analyser, power meter, voltmeter, ammeter and distance meter - and the measurement methods for illuminance or spectral irradiance, luminance, reflectance, on-site colour temperature and colour rendering index, glare, flicker and lighting electrical parameters.
Its contents list then covers residential, public and industrial buildings, motorway, tunnel, intersection and footway lighting, night-scene, square, park and advertising-sign lighting and obtrusive light, with normative annexes on threshold increment and the layout of measuring points.
Clause 1 says other places may take it as a reference. It replaces GB/T 5700-2008, was issued on 28 December 2023 and has applied since 1 July 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 5700-2008 "Lighting Measurement Methods". Compared with GB/T 5700-2008, except for structural adjustment and editing In addition to the modifications, the main technical changes are as follows:
a) The regulations on measurement conditions have been changed (see 4.2, 4.2 of the 2008 edition);
b) Changed the regulations on measurement content (see 4.3, 2008 version of 4.3);
c) The requirements for image luminance meters have been added to the requirements for luminance meters (see 5.2.3);
d) Added provisions on spectroradiometers, stroboscope analyzers, and distance measuring instruments (see 5.3, 5.4 and 5.8);
e) Changes in the method provisions for measuring illumination or spectral irradiance, brightness, on-site color temperature and color rendering index, glare, and lighting electrical parameters (see 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 2008 version of 6.1, 6.2, 6.4, 6.5);
f) Added measurement requirements for glare and flicker (see 6.5 and 6.6);
g) Added provisions related to emergency lighting measurement (see 7.1);
h) Tunnel lighting measurement regulations have been added to road lighting measurement (see 8.2);
i) Relevant provisions on the measurement of advertising sign lighting and outdoor lighting interference light have been added to the night scene lighting measurement (see 9.4 and 9.5);
j) Added provisions for lighting measurement at outdoor work sites (see Chapter 10);
k) Added normative appendix for threshold increment calculation (see Appendix C).
1 Scope
This document specifies the general requirements, measuring instruments and measurement methods for lighting measurement, as well as building lighting measurement, road lighting measurement, night scene Lighting measurements and implementation methods for outdoor workplace lighting measurements.
This document is suitable for lighting measurements in buildings, roads, night scenes and outdoor working sites. Lighting measurements in other places can be implemented as a reference.
