DIN 5035

Part 1 of DIN 5035 provides definitions and general requirements for artificial lighting. Part 2 of DIN 5035 defines guideline values for workplaces indoors and outdoors. The table below lists the guidelines for illuminances to DIN 5035 Part 2, Workplaces, Extract (September 1990). Workplace Regulations ASR 7/3 and DIN 5035 Part 2 define rated illuminances for workplace lighting. ASR 7/3 was issued by the German Federal Ministry for Work and Social Order. The prescribed rated illuminances are minimum values.
