scope:

The standard specifies methods and requirements to ensure safe and sufficient artificial lighting in dental clinics with or without daylight based on individual working conditions and the character of work. The requirements in this standard apply to persons with normal sight. The methods also apply to persons with failing sight, e.g. due to age, but special considerations must be taken to meet these persons' needs. Use of this standard implies a decision on which of the stated methods and requirements apply to the actual lighting installations.
