CEN/TC 169/WG 1 - Basic terms and criteria
This working group defines basic terms for the use in all lighting applications; specialist terms with limited applications are given by individual working groups. This working group also sets out a framework for the specification of lighting requirements, giving details of aspects which shall be considered when setting those requirements.

Currently, there are 6 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This technical specification identifies and clarifies lighting properties for digital building design and maintenance.
This document provides all the needed properties to design and to describe lighting systems. These properties are intended to be used for mapping between data providers and requesters. The mapping of the identifiers enables the exchange of luminaire and sensing device data within different databases.
The unambiguous mapping and description of properties improves the data quality, reduces misinterpretations and the processing time in digital environments. Therefore, the properties listed in this document establish the essential description of lighting systems in BIM systems and databases.
The listed properties in this document are used to structure the product data sheet which is complemented with real product information.
