Particularly energetic, it has a strong germicidal power: by altering the DNA of micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, molds, etc.), it effectively eliminates them. This property explains its widespread use in non-contact disinfection processes, now deployed in many critical environments. </p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditionally emitted by low-pressure mercury lamps, UV-C radiation has undergone a technological revolution with the arrival of UV-C LEDs. These new sources offer unprecedented possibilities for integration into devices that are more compact, durable, energy-efficient and free of toxic substances. These developments open the way to numerous industrial applications, but also raise a new challenge: the resistance of polymer materials exposed to this artificial radiation.</p>

Their much higher photon energy causes molecular degradation on the surface, directly affecting the optical and aesthetic performance of plastics. These alterations, even when they remain superficial, can degrade the perceived quality, safety of use or even regulatory compliance of the final product. The main effects observed when exposed to UV-C are: </p></div>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Yellowing or discoloration of transparent or tinted plastics, altering their visual appearance. </li>



<li>Loss of transparency (opacification), problematic in optical or medical applications. </li>



<li>Surface cracks or micro-deterioration, with a potential impact on hygiene or chemical resistance. </li>



<li>Ageing varies from one polymer to another, and is difficult to anticipate without specific tests. </li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is therefore essential to test the durability of polymer materials under UV-C to guarantee product robustness under real-life conditions.</p>

<li>Precise irradiance control, adjustable from 1 to 100 W/m², depending on the desired test duration and target dose. Tests can be configured to simulate different exposures. </li>



<li>Laboratory reproduction of the dose received according to a defined mission profile, enabling the test to be condensed to a controlled duration (e.g.: 10 exposures per day, 300 days per year, over 100 hours). </li>



<li>Comparative analysis before/after irradiation, with unexposed control samples.  Colorimetric measurement of optical drift (?E2000), a normative indicator of perceived variation (CIELAB space). </li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to our team of highly qualified professionals and our commitment to ever more innovation, we are able to meet the most demanding needs of our customers. We perform luminance measurements for many market sectors :</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Automotive: signage, dashboards and display screens, pictograms, light lines, etc.</li>



<li>Aeronautics: cockpit and cabins…</li>



<li>Lighting: compliance with regulatory requirements for visual comfort in workspaces, tunnels, etc.</li>



<li>Advertising spaces: reduction of light pollution…</li>



<li>Medical devices and consumer goods: quality of HMIs and screens…</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our test engineers perform luminance measurements daily, providing unrivaled expertise to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our photometry laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art devices to evaluate luminance with remarkable precision.<br>Luminance is a measure of the perceived brightness of a surface or light source as seen by an observer. It is a physical parameter that characterizes the intensity of light emitted, reflected, or transmitted by a surface in a given direction. Luminance is often expressed in candela per square meter (cd/m²) and is closely related to light intensity but also takes into account the apparent area of the source or surface.<br>In simpler terms, luminance is what our eyes perceive as the brightness of a surface or light source. It depends on both the amount of light emitted by the source or reflected by the surface and on how this light is distributed in our field of vision</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our testing equipment allows us to produce precise maps of the luminance of scenes and luminous surfaces. These maps, interpreted by our test engineers, provide valuable information to ensure the visual comfort of users and the perceived quality of the products.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Produced using a video luminance meter, the luminance maps provide the following characteristics present in the camera&#8217;s field of view:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Point luminance</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Average, maximum, and minimum luminance of an area of the scene or mapped surface</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Uniformity of luminance to account for the luminous homogeneity of a surface • Contrast to distinguish details. This characteristic is, for example, used to determine the performance of visualization systems such as AR and VR masks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The endoscope is by definition an optical, medical, or industrial instrument used for performing an endoscopy. Medical endoscopes allow doctors to view the inside of a patient’s body during intrusive surgical operations – even microsurgery. Specific to industry, endoscopes permit the observation of hard-to-access places.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are different versions of endoscopes, ranging from rigid “boroscopes” to pliable “flexoscopes”, as well as “fiberscopes” which are comprised of a flexible bundle of optical fibers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The emergence of miniaturized cameras has transformed the nature of endoscopes, which were once only optical but have now become videoscopes which also integrate a lighting solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PISÉO, an innovation platform in optics-photonics, provides characterization services for endoscopes that embed cameras – and more particularly, medical endoscopes. The tests carried out by PISÉO, which are done fully independently, are recognized and based on international standards. PISÉO’s tests make it possible to demonstrate regulatory compliance of tested devices, as well as to obtain certifications – for example, CE certification or <a href="https://www.fda.gov/">FDA</a> approval for the American market.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The measurements and tests carried out in the <a href="https://piseo.fr/en/optical-laboratory-posts/optical-imaging-laboratory/">PISÉO imaging laboratory</a> relate to the following characteristics, most of which are required for certification or approval:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Measurement of the field of view (FoV) and the direction of the FoV relative to the distal glass of the endoscope: this measurement is carried out according to test method B of the ISO 8600-3 standard. The results are compared with the requirements of the ISO 8600-1 standard.</li>



<li>Measurement of resolution and response of the endoscope to spatial frequencies: this measurement is carried out using either the internal lighting of the endoscope or an external light source (with the internal lighting of the endoscope being neutralized). The external light source meets the requirements of the ISO 12233 standard in terms of luminance uniformity and emission spectrum.</li>



<li>Distortion measurement on a checkered pattern.</li>



<li>Measurement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): this measurement can be carried out at room temperature or in an oven at 37°C for medical endoscopes. In the latter case, the entire test device and the endoscope are placed inside a climatic chamber, without the need for opening it to carry out the measurement. Thermal balance is thus maintained throughout the duration of the test. The light source used to backlight the test pattern meets the ISO 12233 standard for the uniformity of its luminance and the ISO 7589 standard for its spectrum emission. The measurement results are presented according to the requirements of the ISO 15739 standard.</li>



<li>Measurement of the uniformity of the gray levels of the image (“image intensity uniformity”): this measurement is done using a Lambertian diffusing screen, illuminated by the internal lighting of the endoscope and according to FDA recommendations.</li>



<li>Color rendering and colorimetry: colorimetry is measured on a Rezchcker target. The color differences on the colored areas of the test chart are measured and the DeltaE00 and DeltaC00 values are calculated.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the automotive sector, the majority of road accidents are due to human error by the driver. Thus, it appears essential, in order to reduce the number of accidents, to provide the driver with assistance in order to inform him about his environment, warn him of a situation of imminent risk of accident, and possibly act on driving the vehicle in his place. The development of ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) sensors aims to achieve this, and ultimately lead to the driving of the autonomous vehicle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All ADAS systems mix sensors of different technologies, ranging from ultrasonic proximity detectors for parking assistance to blind-spot RADAR detectors and even LiDAR for the detection of obstacles in front of the vehicle. Moreover, camera-based ADAS sensors, such as the front camera system, provide a 360° view around the vehicle – and when installed inside the cabin, such as DMS and OMS, provide information on the driver&#8217;s state of alertness, the number of occupants, and whether their seat belts are properly fastened. To complement the camera-based ADAS systems, electronic rearview mirrors, or e-mirrors, offer the driver a better view of the outside environment from the cabin. These systems (also called CMS or SRVM according to car manufacturers) consist of a monitor in addition to a camera to present a field of observation to the driver in the best conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, some ADAS sensors with cameras are being considered for installation in aircraft.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In all cases, these systems contribute to increasing the level of active and passive safety of a vehicle, and must ensure reliable and repeatable detection or measurement of their environment, in all conditions of use. They also must meet regulatory requirements and applicable standards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To guarantee a high level of performance in increasingly broad uses, the needs for characterizing the performance of these systems are increasing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">PISÉO, an innovation and expertise center in optics and photonics, offers <a href="https://piseo.fr/en/optical-laboratory-posts/">characterization services</a> in our laboratory for ADAS systems that embed cameras.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The “front camera” system is a device which is positioned behind the windshield, at the level of the interior mirror. It observes the space in front of the vehicle to read road signs such as speed limit, no overtaking, or end of construction. This system also makes it possible to provide information at night to the adaptive high-beam management system, by detecting entry into a built-up area and the presence of other vehicles coming in the opposite direction (or traveling in the same direction) in order to lower the headlight beams so as not to distract other drivers. Moreover, the front camera system can also detect lane markings&nbsp;to warn the driver of an unintentional crossing of a solid or dotted line. Finally, the system allows the detection of an obstacle which may appear in front of the vehicle, such as a pedestrian emerging from a line of vehicles parked alongside the road.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tests and characteristics measured for these systems are described below. Some of the tests are performed in the visible and near IR ranges:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>• System field of view (FOV): controls the observation and detection space of the system.</li>



<li>• Spatial resolution of the system: allows for measuring the spatial resolution of the system – that is to say, to determine the dimensions of the smallest object detectable by the system. This measurement is done through the measurement of the MTF.</li>



<li>• The signal-to-noise ratio of the system: measures the detection power of the system according to the signal level it receives. This measurement is done by measuring the SNR.</li>



<li>• Distortion: allows for measuring the distortion of the image delivered by the camera in order to take it into account in the detection algorithms. This is measured using a checkerboard pattern.</li>



<li>• Color rendering – colorimetry: the colorimetry is measured on a Rezchcker chart. The color differences of the colored areas of the target are measured, and the values &nbsp;DeltaE<sub>00</sub> and &nbsp;DeltaC<sub>00</sub> are calculated.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The CMS system (camera monitor system), also known as SRVM (smart rear virtual mirror), or even electronic mirror (e-mirror), generally consists of two cameras, display screens inside the cockpit, and an electronic control unit. It replaces traditional exterior mirrors to provide the driver with a better in-cabin view of the outside environment. The field of vision is wider, which improves visibility in poor weather or lighting conditions, and also helps to give safety alerts. Thanks to its lightness and streamlined shape, it also helps to reduce CO2 emissions and save energy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tests and characteristics measured on these systems are as follows:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Magnifications: a measure of system magnification and aspect ratio.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Sharpness and depth of field: determined by MTF measurement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Resolving power: the resolving power is measured by measuring MTF at several points in the field of view.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Distortion: the geometric distortion measurement is performed on a checkerboard pattern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Contrasts: contrasts are measured in different camera illumination conditions (e.g., under glare) and different screen illumination conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Uniformity: directional uniformity and lateral uniformity are measured under daytime conditions with diffuse daylight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Artifacts: the analysis of the number of spots that appear on the screen when the camera is dazzled by an intense light source.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Color rendering – colorimetry: the colorimetry is measured on a Rezchcker chart. The color differences of the colored areas of the target are measured, and the values ?E00 and ?C00 are calculated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Shades of gray: eight levels of gray are measured, and an analysis of their perception is carried out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Flicker: flicker measurement according to ISO 13406-2:2001.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Latency time: measurement of the time between the appearance of a light signal in front of the camera, and its appearance on the system screen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Image formation time: the measurement of the image formation time is carried out according to the ISO 9241-305:2008 standard.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The DMS (driver monitoring system) is an assisted driver monitoring device. Its role is to alert the driver to pay attention to controlling the vehicle. The DMS is equipped with several functions, such as head movement analysis, gaze tracking, face recognition, eye blink frequency detection, and body position, all of which monitor the level of driver fatigue and distraction.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The OMS (occupant monitoring system) is a device similar to the DMS, but whose field of view is extended to the entire cabin of the vehicle and not limited to the driver alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tests and characteristics measured on these systems are as follows. For the tests of the DMS systems, the measurements are carried out in the near IR range at 940 nm; on OMS systems, measurements are made in the visible and near IR ranges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• System field of view (FOV): controls the observation and detection space of the system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Spatial resolution of the system: allows for measuring the spatial resolution of the system – in other words, to determine the dimensions of the smallest object detectable by the system. This measurement is done through the measurement of the MTF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The signal-to-noise ratio of the system: measures the detection power of the system according to the signal level it receives. This measurement is done by measuring the SNR.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Distortion: allows for measuring the distortion of the image delivered by the camera, in order to take it into account in the detection algorithms. It is measured using a checkerboard pattern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Color rendering – colorimetry: the colorimetry is measured on a Rezchcker chart. The color differences of the colored areas of the target are measured, and the values ?E00 and ?C00 are calculated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><u>Standards and regulations</u></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To carry out the characterizations, PISEO’s experts rely on recognized test methods (international standards). We are also able to develop protocols and scripts in Python for carrying out specific tests. The list below presents a non-exhaustive list of standards controlled by our laboratory:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• ISO 12233: electronic camera imaging — resolution and spatial frequency responses</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• ISO 15739: electronic camera imaging — noise measurements</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• ISO 14524: electronic cameras — methods of measurement of opto-electronic conversion functions</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• ISO 7589: photography — sensitometric illuminants — specifications for daylight, artificial light, and printer</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><u>Measurement and analysis equipment for DMS and OMS systems</u></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The PISEO test laboratory is equipped with all the equipment necessary to carry out the measurements mentioned above. The list below gives an overview:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• IMATEST v22.1 image-quality analysis software.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Standard targets produced according to the ISO 12233 standard, or according to a specific protocol defined with our customer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• IMATEST light sources with luminance uniformity greater than 90%, in the visible range (color temperature 31,00K) and in the near IR (940 nm) for the backlighting of the test patterns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Collimators with 70° and 150° field-of-view angle, allowing measurements to be taken on staffs located at distances between 400 mm and infinity.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many software applications dedicated to Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality (AR, VR and MR) systems have been developed to enable tools, particularly in maintenance and medical fields. These applications are optimized to exploit the functionalities available in AR, VR or MR systems, whether they are in the form of glasses or helmets, integrating a smartphone or not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is important to know the optical characteristics of an AR, VR or MR system to properly develop the software application that will be associated with it to obtain maximum performance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a customer in the medical field, PISÉO has developed a test protocol to know the actual optical performance of the AR system selected in connection with its software application, with a view to <a href="https://www.fda.gov/">US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)</a> certification for the American market. The measurements of the optical performance of these systems were carried out in the PISÉO test lab, in a controlled environment and with test equipment calibrated under ISO 17025 accreditation. They follow the recommendations given by the IEC 63145-20-20 standards and IDMS v1.1a.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AR for augmented reality makes it possible to superimpose digital content on the real world to introduce virtual objects and information. The user still sees the real environment, superimposed with this layer of digital content. The display takes place on a screen visible to the user, most often via augmented reality glasses or via a smartphone with a specific application offering AR capabilities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unlike AR, VR encompasses all the immersive experiences available via a VR headset or head-mounted display (HMD). The user is completely cut off from the real world, in a virtual environment visible through the VR headset.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Particularly used in the medical field to assist pre-operative teams, VR totally immerses the user into a 3D virtual environment via a VR headset. The user can thus turn their head 360° around themselves, move in space and interact with the virtual environment thanks to joysticks, for example.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">VR is based on 3 pillars: interaction, immersion and the feeling of presence which work together to create a realistic virtual environment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MR combines several technologies. An MR headset makes it possible to integrate virtual elements into the real world by allowing these elements to interact with the environment. The user is not cut off from the real world, they can see through the headset or mixed reality glasses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This technology mixes AR and VR, which increases its potential compared to VR alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AR, VR or MR systems present themselves in different sectors. Some are connected to a PC and are controlled by a Windows MR type application, while others are autonomous. Still others use a smartphone with a dedicated application.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Various performance tests are performed on these systems, but many of them are performed with protocols that are poorly defined or not defined at all. These measurements are frequently carried out with poorly controlled and uncontrolled experimental conditions. The lack of rigor when carrying out these measurements or checks can also distort their results. Under these conditions, it is difficult to compare the systems marketed objectively. With its long experience in optical system performance measurement and its ISO 17025 accreditation, PISÉO can develop protocols to test AR and VR systems.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the request of a customer in the medical field, performance tests were carried out on Microsoft Hololens2 mixed reality glasses in the <a href="https://piseo.fr/en/optical-laboratory-posts/">PISÉO laboratory</a>. These tests were the subject of a prior analysis of the FDA specifications and the definition of a rigorous repeatable and reproducible protocol. The latter is based on specific internationally recognized test methods and the practice of PISÉO image quality measurement. The tests carried out focused on the following aspects:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The measurement of the spatial resolution of the glasses by measuring the Michelson contrast on vertical and horizontal grid patterns according to the recommendations of the IEC 63145-20-20:2019 standard. These measurements were carried out in the dark and for several levels of ambient light illumination. The light levels were generated by a PISÉO laboratory illuminator and measured by a PISÉO laboratory device calibrated under ISO 17025 accreditation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Contrast measurement on a checkerboard pattern according to IEC 63145-20-20:2019, for several levels of ambient light.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Measurement of luminance and luminance uniformity according to standard IEC 63145-20-20:2019.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Geometric distortion measurement according to IEC 63145-20-20:2019.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Spatial persistence measurement for which the protocol was established by PISÉO. Spatial persistence is the difference in the speed of movement between a real object perceived through the Hololens2 glasses, and a virtual object projected on the screen of the glasses. If the spatial persistence is too much, it can make the user of Hololens2 uncomfortable.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Given the display technology of the Hololens2 screen using the scanning of a laser beam, it was necessary to adapt the acquisition frequency of the measuring camera or Light Measuring Device (LMD) to the scanning frequency of the laser beam.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each of the measurements presented above was carried out on each of the eyepieces of the Hololens2 glasses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The alignment of the LMD matrix camera was carried out according to the recommendations described in the chapter dedicated to the tests on the Near Eye Display (NED) of the IDMS v1 standard 1a.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The laboratory measurements allowed the customer to qualify different parameters of the Hololens and thus ensure the performance of their VR system. Ultimately, the tests carried out by PISÉO enabled the client to obtain FDA certification to sell its application on the American market.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sources of artificial light such as LEDs (non-coherent) and lasers (coherent), as well as the systems that integrate them, can, under certain conditions, cause deleterious effects on the human body. Radiation from these sources is present in the ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) ranges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, European regulations provide provisions to protect people from the <a href="https://piseo.fr/en/press-news/news-en/optical-risks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">risks of&nbsp;potentially dangerous radiation</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the professional field, employers must respect the legislation and implement means to protect employees against this potentially harmful exposure. To do this, they must first assess the optical risks related to working conditions based on the regulations and international standards in force and on the advice of experts in the field.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In order to protect individuals, the Council of the European Union and the Parliament have adopted directives and regulations with which products and devices incorporating UV sources and their use must comply. These directives refer to so-called harmonized standards enabling compliance with this regulation. Finally, the scientific community has written publications to specify the UV systems in line with their application.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The European regulatory and normative system concerning worker exposure to UV risk can be summarized in the diagram below.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In France, the labor code and decree also regulate worker exposure to UV risks. The exposure limits and UV risk assessment methods are also described in the standards. The assessment of the UV risk for workers on an illumination system, for example, is therefore mandatory.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is included in the part of the light spectrum ranging from 200nm to 380nm. They are more energetic than the radiation emitted in the visible. Also, depending on the wavelength used, their applications can be very varied: disinfection, polymerization, tanning &#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, these rays are dangerous for the human body and can deteriorate materials. It is therefore necessary to have a good understanding of UV radiation by carrying out measurements on the light sources and devices that integrate them.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Optical flicker is a phenomenon of variation of the light emitted by the light source of a lighting device.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It can cause visual discomfort for users, or even more severe disorders (epileptic seizures) for the most sensitive subjects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is dependent on the variation of the power supply, voluntary or involuntary. When unintentional, this variation is indicative of poor product design. Likewise, the strobe effect is an optical phenomenon that occurs when objects are in motion and illuminated by a light source that fluctuates at a certain frequency. It can thus give the impression that a part is stationary as it moves. It can therefore be dangerous in certain situations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Devices incorporating LED-type light sources, which are extremely reactive, can thus quite easily exhibit undesirable visual effects such as optical flicker (flicker) or strobe effect.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These optical effects can be quantified using internationally recognized test methods (standards). It is thus possible to check the quality of the electrical power supplies and to compare the test results between the products (benchmarking) tested or with the limits of the regulations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, European regulations on the eco-design of lighting devices take these parameters into account by specifying characteristics to be measured (Pst LM, SVM). It imposes, in fact, limits which must not be exceeded for each of these characteristics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From September 2021, lighting devices (lamps, LED modules and lights) will therefore have to comply with these limits described in the new 2019/2020 regulation of the European Commission also called <a href="https://www.ul.com/news/european-single-lighting-regulation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Single Lighting Regulation</a> (SLR)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The PISÉO laboratory is able to carry out flicker tests according to <strong>IEC TR 61547 </strong>(Pst LM – flickering) and <strong>IEC TR 63158</strong> (SVM – stroboscopic effect).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A real enhancement tool for our customers, the ISO-17025 accreditation delivered by COFRAC (scope available on <a href="http://www.cofrac.fr">www.cofrac.fr</a>) demonstrates the seriousness, quality and impartiality of the test results carried out in our laboratory.</p>
