Launch of IEA 4E SSL Annex 2017 Interlaboratory Comparison of Goniophotometer Measurements (IC 2017)

The IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex today is formally announcing a global interlaboratory comparison for goniophotometers (in short IC 2017). With 70 labs from around the world pre-registered, IC 2017 has the potential to be the largest single interlaboratory comparison of goniophotometers. The programme is designed in compliance with ISO/IEC 17043 to serve as a proficiency test for SSL testing accreditation programmes that recognise this comparison and it is based on the new CIE S 025/E:2015 test method for LED equipment.
