工业设施有时可能是危险环境；对于安全、一般照明、移动部件以及补充照明、任务照明、安全照明和应急照明，一般应给出特殊情况的需求和考虑。由于工作站的要求，紧急出口有时非常耗时。本标准的主要目的是作为工业设施永久安装照明系统设计的指南和教育工具。本推荐规程完全涉及照明，不提供设施施工建议。本规程的范围包括为新工业设施设计新的室内和室外照明系统，以及重新设计现有工业设施的照明系统。 建议基于高质量的照明实践，包括:车辆和人员的安全移动，提高员工的生产力和舒适度，节约能源，尽量减少维护。提供了建议的最低维持照明水平和最大均匀率指南，但在基于良好工程判断的特殊情况下可能会发生变化。

Industrial facilities can at times be hazardous environments; special-case needs and considerations should be given in general for safety, general lighting, moving components, and supplemental, task, safety and emergency lighting. Emergency egress can at times be very time consuming due to workstation requirements.The primary purpose of this standard is to serve as a guide and educational tool for the design of permanently installed lighting systems for industrial facilities. This Recommended Practice deals entirely with lighting and does not give advice on the construction of a facility.The scope of this practice covers the design of new indoor and outdoor lighting systems for new industrial facilities as well as the redesign of lighting systems in existing industrial facilities. Recommendations are based on quality lighting practices, including: the safe movement of vehicles and people, enhancing the productivity and comfort of employees, conserving energy, and minimizing maintenance. Recommended minimum maintained lighting levels and maximum uniformity ratio guidelines are provided but are subject to variation for special circumstances when based upon sound engineering judgment.
