Peter Blattner, Ph.D. in Physics. He has a Ph.D. in the field of Applied Optics from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He joined the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) in 2000, where he is currently the Head of the Optics laboratory. Since 2011 he has been the Director of CIE Division 2. In this role he represents CIE at the Consultative Committees for Units (CCU) and for Photometry and Radiometry (CCPR). Furthermore, he is active in several standardization committees (ISO/TC169, IEC/ TC34, IEC/TC76, CEN /TC169) and chairs the Swiss Standardization Committee on light and lighting. In 2015 he received the CIE Wyszecki Gold Pin award for outstanding contribution in fundamental research. In October 2017 he was elected CIE President for the period 2019 to 2023

Abstract:

The article describes the main activities of the International Commission on Illumination in recent years. The most important publications are reflecting recent developments in lighting science and industry, including LED sources and luminaires test methods, fundamental recommendations concerning colorimetry, discomfort caused by glare from luminaires with a non-uniform luminance, as well as intelligent control of lighting systems. Human centric lighting and the non-visual effects of light on humans was highlighted. To promote standardization in the field of horticultural lighting the CIE is in the process of establishing a new JTC. In view of COVID‑19 pandemic outspread the use of germicidal UV radiation is of relevance to reduce both contact spread and airborne transmission of infectious agents. The CIE is responsible for worldwide standardization of the fundamentals, including metrology and vocabulary, as well as lighting education. The CIE considers it important to make digital products including validated calculation tools, apps, databases and machine-readable documents more available for many experts and it takes a step in this direction by provide open access to the individual CIE publications.
