scope:

This document specifies performance and design requirements for Category V lighting schemes, including requirements relating to the energy efficiency of the luminaires used. It also specifies the luminaire data and other design data that is needed to facilitate the lighting design and the assessment of conformance to the requirements of this document.

The document does not apply in Australia to public transport areas where the mandatory requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) and subordinate instruments including the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Cth) (DSAPT) and the Disability (Access to Premises - Buildings) Standards 2010 (Cth) (Premises Standards) are applicable, see Clause 2.1.

With the exception of lighting for isolated intersections (see Clause 4.5), this document does not apply to single-luminaire schemes in otherwise unlit roads nor to additional luminaires installed in lit roads for reasons of increased security, including instances where such luminaires are typical of those used in Category V lighting schemes.
