INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON ILLUMINATION

Advancing knowledge and providing standardisation to improve the lighted environment. So that life will be brighter.

The International Commission on Illumination - also known as the CIE from its French title, the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage - is devoted to worldwide cooperation and the exchange of information on all matters relating to the science and art of light and lighting, colour and vision, and image technology.

With strong technical, scientific and cultural foundations, the CIE is an independent, non-profit organisation that serves member countries on a voluntary basis. Since its inception in 1913, the CIE has become a professional organization and has been accepted as representing the best authority on the subject and as such is recognized by ISO as an international standardization body.
