European foreword
This document (prEN 12193:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 169 “Light and
lighting”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12193:2007.
In this revision the main technical changes can be divided between the needs of the players and that of the
camera. For the players the minimum colour rendering index has been increased from R > 20 to R > 60. The
a a
tables of requirements have been updated to take into account sports that have become popular since the
last edition. Recommendations on the use of Glare Rating for indoor sports areas are now included.
The requirements for television and film recording have been revised to reflect changes in broadcast
technology since the last edition. Lighting levels have been reviewed in line with the requirements for HD
and 4K transmission as well as production techniques. For cameras colour rendering index has been
replaced by Television Lighting Contrast Index (TLCI) which has been developed specifically for broadcast
cameras. Requirements for eliminating flicker from slow motion cameras are included as well as lighting of
spectators.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies lighting for those indoor and outdoor sports events most practised in
Europe. This standard only considers artificial lighting. It provides lighting values for the design and control
of sports lighting installations in terms of illuminances, uniformity, glare restriction and colour properties of
the light sources. All requirements are meant to be as minimum requirements. It also gives methods by
which these values are measured. For the limitation of glare, it also points out restrictions on the location of
the luminaires for specific applications.
For emergency lighting this standard refers to the requirements of EN 1838.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12665:2011 and the following
apply.
3.1
principal area
PA
actual playing area needed for the performance of a certain sport
Note 1 to entry: Usually this means the actual marked out “field” area for that sport (for instance football), but in
some cases this area comprises an extra playing area around the marked area (e.g. tennis, volleyball, table tennis).
Note 2 to entry: In all tables in Annex A examples of area sizes are given which are most commonly used for that
sport. The particular area dimensions should be checked at the time when designing a lighting installation.
3.2
total area
TA
area generally comprising the principal area (PA) plus an additional safety area outside the principal area
Note 1 to entry: The dimensions of this area are generally based on PA, for the relevant sport and level of
competition. For most sports this reference area is limited by a rectangle in the horizontal plane of the ground. An
example of reference area is given in Figure 1 where l and w stand respectively for the length and the width of the
rectangular reference area. Where a total area (TA) is specified, it will also be necessary to fulfil the requirements as
defined in 5.3 a).
3.3
grid points for measurement and calculation
arrangement of calculation and measurement points and their number in each dimension of the reference
area

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 12193:2017
prEN 12193:2017 (E)
Note 1 to entry: When the reference area is rectangular, lp and wp (see Figure 1) define the dimensions of the
rectangle limited by the four corner points which are common for calculation and measurement.
Note 2 to entry: When the reference area covers a symmetrical track, l will be lp, which is the quarter of the length of
the inner limit of the track, w the width of the track as defined in Figure 2.
3.4
obtrusive light
spill light which because of quantitative, directional or spectral attributes in a given context gives rise to
annoyance, discomfort, distraction or reduction in the ability to see essential information
Note 1 to entry: In the case of outdoor sports lighting installation, obtrusive light is considered around the
installation and not for spectators, referees or players within the sports area.
3.5
curfew
time after which stricter requirements (for the control of obtrusive light) will apply
Note 1 to entry: It is often a condition of use of lighting applied by a government controlling authority, usually the
local government.
3.6
average illuminance over a surface

3.6.1
maintained average illuminance over a surface
value below which the average illuminance on the specified surface is not allowed to fall
Note 1 to entry: It is the average illuminance on the specified surface at the time maintenance is to be carried out.
3.6.2
initial average illuminance over a surface
average illuminance on the specified surface when the installation is new
Note 1 to entry: The initial average illuminance is obtained from the specific maintained value by dividing the latter
value by the maintenance factor at the time maintenance is to be carried out.
3.6.3
principal camera
cameras at locations which are designated as being principal cameras that require full calculations
3.6.4
secondary cameras
cameras at other fixed locations and might not require full calculations over the whole area for each one

5 General principles of the lighting installation
5.1 Reference grid for calculation and measurement
5.1.1 General
Verification of the lighting levels provided by a lighting installation requires lighting measurements to be
made on site. It is then advisable to define a specific grid so that the lighting designer and customer can have
a common ground when carrying out lighting calculations and measurements. These grids are generally
rectangular. The illuminances are calculated or measured at every centre of grid rectangles. The grid limits
are defined in 3.3. The reference level of the grid is generally the ground for horizontal illuminance
evaluation or 1.5m above for vertical illuminances, unless stated otherwise. The grid points are determined
by the length and width of the reference area or, for a track (see Figure 2), by a quarter of the length of its
inner limit and its width as described in 5.1.2.
5.1.2 Grid size for calculation and measurements for particular sports
In principle the grid size necessary for calculation and measurement depends on the sports area under
consideration, the geometry of the installation, the luminous intensity distribution of the luminaires used,
the required accuracy and the photometric quantities to be evaluated. Although this dependence cannot be
described in a simple way, in practice, the maximum grid size can be estimated as:
log d
p 02,⋅ 5 (1)
where
 p is the grid size;
 d is the longer dimension of the reference area.
The number of points in the longer dimension is given by the nearest odd whole number of d/p.
9
=

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 12193:2017
prEN 12193:2017 (E)
The resulting spacing between the grid points is used to calculate the nearest odd whole number of grid
points in the shorter dimension. This will give a ratio of length to width of a grid cell near to 1.
NOTE The formula (coming from CIE Report X005 [3]) has been derived under the assumption log p proportional
to log d, where:
P = 0,2 m for d = 1 m;
P = 1 m for d = 10 m;
P = 5 m for d = 100 m.
5.1.3 Grid size for calculation and measurements for multi-sports facilities
Checks should be performed for any separate playing area within the total area, using the grid specified for
the particular sport, for instance when there are specific users or competitions (e.g. badminton, basketball,
volleyball). Where there are several marked playing areas within a total area (e.g. multi-use sports hall) a
calculation and measurement over the whole area can be made, using the dimensions of this whole area to
determine the number of grid points according to the formula in 5.1.2.
5.1.4 Application
The calculation grid is defined to verify the specified performance of a new installation. The measurement
grid can be the same as the calculation grid, however this will usually lead to an excessive number of
measuring points. A reduced number of points can be taken and measured values compared to calculation at
the same points. This reduced grid should be agreed between the designer and the client and used as the
basis of checking the installed performance. The numbers of calculation points are defined for most of sports
in the grouped tables of lighting requirements (see Annex A). It will be noticed that the proposed calculation
grids in 5.1.1 are such that the number of points for length or width is odd and always allows a measurement
grid every two points while keeping a symmetric repartition of the points over the reference area. An
example of measurement points is given in Figure 1 with encircled points.
NOTE Further guidance on measurement grids can be found in CIE 169:2005 [4].
The average illuminance is determined as the mean arithmetical value obtained from all the points. For new
installations the calculation of the initial illuminances shall be compared to actual measurements. The initial
illuminances are calculated from the maintained illuminances given in the tables of requirements in Annex A,
taking into account an appropriate maintenance factor.

5.3 Measurement record
The following details shall be included in the photometric measuring record:
a) nomenclature of the sports ground;
b) date and time of measuring;
c) type of installation and geometric details of luminaires installation;
d) type and number of lamps, control gear, dimmers and luminaires, where relevant;
e) age of the luminaires and lamps; number of hours the lamps have operated;
f) time of the last cleaning and number of hours the lamp have operated since this last cleaning;
g) operating voltage while measuring:
1) if the operating voltage differs from the nominal voltage of the lamp while measuring, a correction
factor for the luminous flux shall be considered;
2) operating voltage shall be measured close to the lamps or the ballasts for discharge lamps;
h) ambient temperatures of the measuring units and luminaires;
i) indication of reflectance of the bordering surfaces (in case of interiors);
j) climatic conditions in case of exterior installations;
k) type of measuring unit, manufacturer, serial number, class, calibration;
l) the location and aiming of any luminaires that are abnormally not operating during the survey.
5.4 Practical differences
A difference between the measured and calculated values is likely to occur as a result of:
a) tolerances in manufacturing luminaires, lamps, etc.;
b) tolerances in the photometric measurements;
c) tolerances in position and aiming of luminaires.
Taking these tolerances into account, the differences between the measured and calculated average
illuminance values shall be ≤ 10 %.
Additional differences can be caused by voltage and temperature variation, which shall be taken into
account.
Verification procedures:
— Verification shall be by measurements, calculations or inspection of authenticated data.
— Measurements (E values) shall be made with calibrated instruments.
— Authenticated data (R , R , TI, I, R ) shall be provided with all assumptions declared.

5.5 Maintenance
The lighting level provided by a lighting installation will decrease throughout life as a result of:
— depreciation of the lamps and the luminaires;
— dirt accumulation on the lamps and the luminaires;
— depreciation of room surfaces;
— lamp’s survival rate.
Planning the maintenance operation is therefore essential if the original design parameters are to be met
throughout the life of the installation. As such, it is expected that lamp change and cleaning intervals will
form a part of the lighting design for a specific area.
The maintenance factor shall be agreed between the designer and customer at the outset. This shall include
the planned maintenance programme on which the maintenance factor is based.
NOTE To define the maintenance factor, information can be taken from CIE 97:2005 [6] for indoor installations
and from CIE 1
