Ergonomics - Accessible design - Specification of age-related luminance contrast for coloured light (ISO 24502:2010)

This International Standard specifies the age-related luminance contrast of any two lights of different colour seen by a person at any age, by taking into account the age-related change of spectral luminous efficiency of the eye. This International Standard provides a basic method of calculation that can be applied to the design of lighting, visual signs and displays. It applies to light, self-luminous or reflected, in visual signs and displays seen under moderately bright conditions called photopic vision and whose spectral radiance is known or measurable. It does not apply to light seen under darker conditions called mesopic or scotopic vision. This International Standard specifies the luminance contrast for people aged from 10 to 79 years who have had no medical treatment or surgery on their eyes that may affect their spectral luminous efficiency. This International Standard does not apply to visual signs and displays seen by people with colour defects whose spectral luminous efficiency is different from those with normal colour vision, nor those seen by people with low vision.

Ergonomie - Zugängliche Gestaltung - Spezifikation des altersbezogenen Leuchtdichtekontrastes für farbiges Licht (ISO 24502:2010)

Diese Internationale Norm legt altersbezogene Leuchtdichtekontraste von jeglichen zwei Leuchten in verschiedenen Farben fest, die von einer Person jeden Alters unter Berücksichtigung der altersbedingten Veränderung spektraler Hellempfindlichkeit des Auges gesehen werden.
Diese Internationale Norm bietet ein einfaches Berechnungsverfahren, das für die Gestaltung von Beleuchtung, optischen Zeichen und Anzeigen verwendet werden kann. Es ist für selbstleuchtende oder reflektierte Leuchten in optischen Zeichen und Anzeigen anwendbar, die unter mäßig hellen optischen Bedingungen, genannt photopische Sicht/Tagessicht, zu sehen sind und deren spektrale Strahlungsdichte bekannt oder messbar ist. Es gilt nicht für Leuchten, die unter dunkleren Bedingungen, genannt mesopische (Dämmerungs)- oder skotopische (Nacht)sicht, zu sehen sind.
Diese Internationale Norm legt den Leuchtdichtekontrast für Menschen im Alter von 10 bis 79 Jahren fest, die keine medizinische oder chirurgische Behandlung an ihren Augen erfahren haben, die deren spektrale Hellempfindlichkeit beeinflussen könnte.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt nicht für optische Signale und Anzeigen, die von Menschen mit einer Behinderung der Farbensicht gesehen werden, deren spektrale Hellempfindlichkeit anders ist als die von Menschen mit normalem Farbensehen, und auch nicht für solche, die von Menschen mit schwachem Sehvermögen gesehen werden.

Ergonomie - Conception accessible - Spécification du contraste de luminance lié à l'âge pour la lumière colorée (ISO 24502:2010)

L'ISO 24502:2010 spécifie le contraste de luminance de deux lumières de couleur différente, en tenant compte de la variation de l'efficacité lumineuse relative spectrale de l'œil en fonction de l'âge de l'observateur.
Elle fournit une méthode de base de calcul pouvant être applicable à la conception des éclairages, des panneaux de signalisation et des affichages. Elle est applicable à la lumière, auto-luminescente ou réfléchie, des panneaux de signalisation et des affichages, observée dans des conditions de luminosité modérée («vision photopique») dont la densité spectrale de luminance est connue ou mesurable. Elle ne s'applique pas à la lumière observée dans des conditions d'environnement plus sombre («vision mésopique ou scotopique»).
L'ISO 24502:2010 spécifie le contraste de luminance pour les personnes âgées de 10 à 79 ans, n'ayant subi aucun traitement médical ou chirurgie oculaire susceptible d'affecter leur efficacité lumineuse relative spectrale.
Elle n'est pas applicable aux panneaux de signalisation et aux affichages observés par des personnes qui présentent une déficience de la vision des couleurs, pour qui l'efficacité lumineuse relative spectrale est différente de celle des personnes ayant une vision normale des couleurs, ni à ceux observés par des personnes ayant une faible vision.

Ergonomija - Dostopno načrtovanje - Določitev od staranja odvisnega kontrasta za barvno svetlobo (ISO 24502:2010)

Ta mednarodni standard določa od staranja odvisni kontrast za kateri koli dve svetlobi različne barve, ki ju vidi oseba pri kateri koli starosti, ob upoštevanju od starosti odvisnega spektralnega svetlobnega izkoristka. Ta mednarodni standard podaja osnovno metodo izračuna, ki se lahko uporabi pri načrtovanju osvetljave, vizualnih znakov ali prikazovalnikov. Velja za direktno in odbojno svetlobo pri vizualnih znakih in prikazovalnikih, vidnih pri zmerno svetlih pogojih, kar imenujemo fotopični vid, in kjer je spektralna odsevnost znana in merljiva. Ne velja za svetlobo, vidno pri temnejših pogojih, kar imenujemo mezopični ali skotopični vid. Ta mednarodni standard določa kontrast za ljudi od 10 do 79 let starosti, ki niso zdravili oči ali imeli na njih kirurškega posega, kar bi lahko vplivalo na spektralni svetlobni izkoristek. Ta mednarodni standard ne velja za vizualne znake ali prikazovalnike, ki jih vidijo ljudje z okvarami barvnega vida, katerih spektralni svetlobni izkoristek se razlikuje od izkoristka ljudi z normalnim barvnim vidom, niti ljudje s slabim vidom.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction
Although the proportion of older people is increasing in many countries, the care for better visibility of signs
and displays is not sufficiently taken for those older people. This prevents older people from actively being
involved in social activities, as well as from living their life safely and comfortably. This International Standard
provides a method of calculating age-related luminance contrast that can be used for assessing and designing
signs and displays in our visual environment, so that they are clearly visible to older people. This method
calculates age-related luminance contrast for people aged from 10 to 79 years based on age-related photopic
spectral luminous efficiency of the eye.
This International Standard adopts the principles of accessible design given in ISO/IEC Guide 71 and
amplified in ISO/TR 22411.

related luminance contrast for coloured light
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the age-related luminance contrast of any two lights of different colour
seen by a person at any age, by taking into account the age-related change of spectral luminous efficiency of
the eye.
This International Standard provides a basic method of calculation that can be applied to the design of lighting,
visual signs and displays. It applies to light, self-luminous or reflected, in visual signs and displays seen under
moderately bright conditions called photopic vision and whose spectral radiance is known or measurable. It
does not apply to light seen under darker conditions called mesopic or scotopic vision.
This International Standard specifies the luminance contrast for people aged from 10 to 79 years who have
had no medical treatment or surgery on their eyes that may affect their spectral luminous efficiency.
This International Standard does not apply to visual signs and displays seen by people with colour defects
whose spectral luminous efficiency is different from those with normal colour vision, nor those seen by people
with low vision.

NOTE 3 For some but not all displays, area-luminance targets can be used to approximate the luminances that define
the feature to be detected because pixels are discrete and near-area luminance is sufficiently uniform.
