The standard defines, using photometric requirements, the performance needed by classes for street lighting. EN1301-2-2015 considers the vision needs of road users and covers the environmental aspects of street lighting. The norm takes into consideration relevant areas for groups of lighting situations, conflict areas, calming traffic measures and pedestrian crossing. Moreover, it provides information about glare control, color rendering, night-time use and visual guidance.
Classes for roads with motor powered vehicles other than slow-moving vehicle. The considered lighting size is the average horizontal luminance.
