Operation tables must be illuminated with a minimum of 5000 lx
In rooms where people work, legal minima apply for the illuminance, depending on the room and on the visual task.

200 lx canteen
300 lx classroom

These minima relate to the average illuminance in the working area. The uniformity in the working area may not be less than 0.7, and not less than 0.5 In the immediate surroundings.
The initial illuminance values must be higher than the legal minima, because account must be taken of light degradation caused by contamination and ageing of lamps and fixtures.
