Each major subject of interest to the CIE is assigned to one of six Divisions. The Divisions appoint Technical Committees to work on specific subjects, these committees consisting of small groups of experts, the aim being to produce a technical report offering guidance on that subject.
To study visual responses to light and to establish standards of response functions, models and procedures of specification relevant to photometry, colorimetry, colour rendering, visual performance and visual assessment of light and lighting.

To study standard procedures for the evaluation of ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation, global radiation, and optical properties of materials and luminaires, as well as the optical properties and performance of physical detectors and other devices required for their evaluation.

Division 3 of the CIE is concerned with factors which influence the satisfaction of the occupants of a building with their environment, including the effects of both daylighting and electric lighting.
Its objectives are to study and evaluate those factors to provide guidance on relevant design criteria, to study design techniques (including relevant calculations) for the interior lighting of buildings, to incorporate the findings and those of other CIE divisions into lighting guides for interiors in general or of particular types.

To study and prepare guides for the design of exterior lighting and light signalling.
