AS/NZS 1680.2.5:2018
Interior and workplace lighting - Part 2.5: Hospital and medical tasks
Sets out recommendations aimed at the provision of a visual environment conducive to the safe and efficient performance of tasks associated with hospitals and medical premises. It includes recommendations for tasks requiring clinical observation lighting. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the general recommendations of AS/NZS 1680.1 and with other specific recommendations in the AS/NZS 1680.2 series which may apply depending on the function of the interior space or the specific visual tasks involved. This standard parallels the structure of AS/NZS 1680.1 and contains recommendations that either add to or amend the recommendations of that standard. While the sections of this standard correspond with those of AS/NZS 1680.1, the clauses within each section are numbered consecutively and do not directly relate to the clauses in AS/NZS 1680.1.
