The photometry laboratory

The photometry laboratory is ISO 17025 accredited by COFRAC (scope available on www.cofrac.fr).

Equipped with state-of-the-art measuring instruments, it allows electro-optical and visual performance tests to be carried out on light sources such as lamps and LEDs and lighting devices such as LED modules and luminaires, for all types of applications. It also makes it possible to assess the photobiological risk of these sources and devices.

Rigorous and experienced, PISEO’s photometry experts guarantee you quality test results to objectively demonstrate the performance and regulatory compliance of your lighting products including CE marking and EEC requirements.

These tests are also useful during the development phases of your products. It is also possible for you to use our laboratory for half-day or full-day test sessions.
