This Standard sets out lighting recommendations for a variety of tasks carried out within hospitals and medical premises, particularly tasks associated with clinical observation, treatment and care. The recommendations also apply to related tasks, such as the visual examination of biological solutions and pathology specimens, in medical laboratories.The Standard does not apply to institutions the primary role of which is to provide domiciliary care, e.g. nursing homes; however, the recommendations apply to areas within those institutions that are specifically intended for the administration of medical treatment, e.g. treatment rooms and first-aid rooms.This Standard is intended to be read in conjunction with the general recommendations of AS 1680.1 and with any applicable specific recommendations in the AS 1680.2 series. In general, it contains material that either adds to or amends the recommendations in AS 1680.1. The use of this Standard without reference to AS 1680.1 is a misapplication of the Standard.NOTE: Attention is drawn to AS 3009, which specifies requirements for emergency power supplies for standby power and lighting for hospitals.
