About CIE-UK

The International Commission on Illumination - also known as the CIE from its French title, the Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage - is devoted to worldwide cooperation and the exchange of information on all matters relating to the science and art of light and lighting, colour and vision, photobiology and image technology. CIE is an independent, non-profit organization that serves member countries on a voluntary basis. Since its inception in 1913, the CIE has become a professional organization and has been accepted as representing the best authority on the subject and as such is recognized by ISO as an international standardization body. CIE aims and working methods are described in their document Lighting The Future Together.

The CIE is supported by the national committees of each member country. CIE-UK is the National Illumination Committee of Great Britain. The primary function of CIE-UK is to establish technical policy, to oversee the national involvement in the CIE technical programme, and to disseminate information to members.
