DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA
DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS
The Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) is the national

standards and accreditation body of Malaysia.
The main function of STANDARDS MALAYSIA is to foster and promote standards,

standardisation and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy,
promoting industrial efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of
the public, protecting the consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and
furthering international cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.
Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which

comprise balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with
relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest

extent possible, Malaysian Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international
standards. Approval of a standard as a Malaysian Standard is governed by the
Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian Standards are reviewed
periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so far as they are
made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-laws or
any other similar ways.
STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop,

distribute and sell the Malaysian Standards.

MS 825-6:2012
Code of practice for the design of road lighting -

Part 6: Methods of measuring lighting performance
1 Scope
This part of Malaysian Standard specifies the procedures for making photometric and related
measurements of road lighting installations. Examples are given in the form of the test report.
2 Normative references
The following normative references are indispensable for the application of this standard. For
dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of
the normative reference (including any amendments) applies.
MS 825-5, Code of practice for the design of road lighting - Part 5: Calculation of performance
3 Photometric measurements
The procedures adopted should be suited to the purpose of the measurements. Where the
measurements are required for comparison with calculated values then the utmost stringency
will be required to ensure that a valid comparison can be made. Where the measurements
are required for monitoring the state of an installation then it is possible that a more limited set
of measurements at widely spaced locations will suffice. The main essential in this case is
that the measurements are carried out in the same way each time monitoring is carried out. In
other cases spot checks may be sufficient.
4 Measurement conditions
4.1 Stabilisation after switch-on
Discharge lamps require a period of time for their light output to stabilise. Illuminance
measurements at the same location or locations shall be taken at regular time intervals to
ensure that stability has been reached, before definitive light measurements of the installation
are made.
To ensure that stability is maintained during the period of measurement, monitoring readings
shall be taken (see clause A10).
4.2 Climatic conditions
The climatic conditions should be such as not to affect the measurements significantly, unless
this is intended. High or low temperatures may affect the light output of thermally sensitive
lamps or the accuracy of the light measuring instruments. Condensation of moisture on light
transmitting surfaces of measuring instruments or on their electric circuits may affect their
accuracy.
© STANDARDS MALAYSIA 2012 - All rights reserved 1

MS 825-6:2012
High wind speeds may make the luminaries oscillate or make the measuring instruments
vibrate. They may also lower the temperature of thermally sensitive lamps thereby affecting
their light output. Even a slight dampness of the road surface may significantly affect the
luminance of the road surface. The light transmission of the atmosphere will affect the light
reaching the surface to be measured, and in the case of luminance measurements the light
reaching the luminance meter from the surface to be measured.
4.3 Extraneous light and obstruction of light
When measurements are intended to record the lighting performance of the road lighting
installation only, direct or reflected light from the surrounds should be prevented or accounted
for. Action taken to do this should be recorded in the report on the measurements (see clause
A7).
NOTE. Light from the surrounds can include light from shop windows, advertising signs, road signals, lights on
vehicles, other lighting installations, sky glow, etc. This lighting can sometimes be prevented, masked or switched off,
or sometimes a correction can be made which is based on separate measurements taken with the road lighting
installation switched off. A correction for sky glow depends on the cloudiness not being variable.
When measurements are intended to record the unobstructed light from the installation,
measurement areas should be selected which are free of obstructions that may produce
shadows. These may include trees, parked cars, or road furniture. The presence of
obstructions should be recorded in the report on the measurements (see clause A7).
4.4 Measurements taken from a moving vehicle
The light performance of an installation can be measured from a moving vehicle. The main
differences between dynamic and static measurements are:
a) the number of measurement points is greater in the case of dynamic measurements; and
b) the requirements in MS 825-5 for observer position and location of grid points may be
more difficult or impossible to meet in the case of dynamic measurements.
To produce useful and reliable results a dynamic measurement system shall:
a) for every measurement point, be able to link the position of the photometric head in terms
of height, and transverse and longitudinal distances or coordinates to a datum such as
the kerb;
b) minimise any effects, such as vehicle shadow, light reflection, and electronic noise, the
vehicle may have on the detector readings; and
c) be equipped with photometric heads conforming to the requirements specified in clauses

7 and 8. Measurements from a moving vehicle should include the information listed in
clause A11.

MS 825-6:2012
5 Non-photometric measurements
5.1 General
The selection of non-photometric measurements should be related to the purpose of the

measurements. Where measurements are required for comparison with calculated values,
detailed non-photometric measurements will be required. Where the measurements are
required for monitoring the state of an installation then it is possible that less detailed
non-photometric measurements will suffice.
5.2 Geometric data
On-site measurements should be made of the geometry of the installation. These should
include measurements in plan of the installation, the height of the columns, and the length of
the outreach. In addition tilt in application of the luminaires, orientation of the luminaires, and
rotation of the luminaires should be measured when possible or when these data may be
relevant for meeting the objectives of the measurement.
5.3 Electricity supply
At the start of a measurement, the voltage of the electricity supply, at as many lighting
columns as is necessary, shall be measured. During the measurement, the voltage shall be
measured continuously at a significant point in the installation, and observed. A recording
voltmeter is preferable for this purpose.
5.4 Temperature
The temperature shall be measured at a height of 1.0 m above ground level and recorded at
intervals of 30 min.
5.5 Instruments
All instruments shall be calibrated by an accredited laboratory. It is recommended that the

frequency of the calibration to be yearly.
NOTE. Internationally accredited laboratories can be referred to Department of Standards Malaysia.
6 Location of grid points and observer

To assess the agreement between measured and calculated values, the position of the grid
points at which measurements are taken and the position of the observer should agree with
those used for the calculation. These latter should be in accordance with one of those given in
MS 825-5. This may involve the taking of a large number of observations, which may be
impracticable because of time limitations or other considerations. In these circumstances,
fewer observations may be taken but there will be a loss of accuracy. Maximum and minimum
values may be found by searching rather than by recording numerous values over a closely
spaced grid.

MS 825-6:2012
7 Measurement of illuminance
7.1 General
Illuminance shall be measured with an illuminance meter which has a performance suitable
for the purpose of the measurements. Where the measurements are required for monitoring
purposes, absolute calibration of the illuminance meter is not necessary, but consideration
should be given to the long term ageing of the illuminance meter.
NOTE. Guidance on the performance of illuminance meters is given in CIE Publication 53:1982 and CIE Publication
69:1987.
For the measurement of horizontal and vertical illuminance a photometer head for the
measurement of planar illuminance is required. For semicylindrical or hemispherical
illuminance a photometer head designed for the purpose is required.
NOTE. Hemispherical illuminance at a point can be measured by means of an illuminance meter for measuring
planar illuminance by adopting the following procedure. The horizontal illuminance Ehorizontal from all the luminaires is
measured at the point. The component E1 is measured from each luminaire in turn by directing the surface of the
photometer head so that it receives light at right-angles to its surface from the luminaire being measured, and all
other light is excluded. The hemispherical illuminance Ehemispherical is given by: 7‘
n
1
Ehemispherical= — [Ehorizontal +
4
[Ek ]
Σ
k=1
Where,
Ek is the contribution from the kth luminaire; and
Σ is the summation of the contributions from the 1st to the nth Iuminaire.
k=1
Care should be taken that personnel making the measurements do not obscure light that
would otherwise reach the photometer head. For this reason it is recommended that either an
illuminance meter with photometer head attached to the meter by means of a cable or an
illuminance meter with a remote hold cable be used. Cables should be sufficiently long for
observers to position themselves so that they do not obscure any of the light that would
otherwise reach the photometer head.
The use of gimbals eases the task of maintaining the photometer head at the correct
inclination with respect to the vertical.
NOTE. Atmospheric absorption can significantly reduce the luminous intensity of the light reaching the illuminance
meter (see 4.2)

MS 825-6:2012
7.2 Height and orientation of the photometer head
7.2.1 horizontal and hemispherical illuminance
The plane of the light sensitive surface of the photometer head shall be horizontal. It should
be positioned at ground level but where this is not possible the plane of the light sensitive
surface shall be within 200 mm of ground level, and recorded in the test report.
7.2.2 semicylindrical and vertical illuminance
The centre of the light sensitive surface of the photometer head shall be positioned 1.5 m (1.5
m) above ground level. The light sensitive surface of the photometer head shall be vertical
and have the correct orientation, typically facing longitudinally. Guidance is given in MS 825-
5.
7.3 Measurement grid

Unless an alternative grid is agreed between the parties concerned as being satisfactory, the
grid of measurement points should be that specified in MS 825-5. The photometer head shall
be positioned precisely over each measurement point.
8 Measurement of luminance
Luminance of the road surface shall be measured with a calibrated luminance meter which
has a performance suitable for the purpose of the measurements.
NOTE. Average illuminance is calculated by averaging the illuminance at points equally spaced in plan whereas
average luminance measured by a single reading gives, in effect, perspective weighting to each point. This should
not result in significant discrepancy. Guidance on the performance of luminance meters is given in CIE Publication
53:1982 and CIE Publication 69:1987.
For measurement of the luminance at a grid point, the luminance meter shall be capable of
restricting the total angle of the measurement cone up to 20 min of arc in the vertical plane
and 20 min of arc in the horizontal plane. The angle of view of the meter shall be at (89 ± 0.5)˚
to the normal to the road surface.
Unless an alternative grid is agreed as being satisfactory, the grid of measurement points
shall conform with that selected for calculation. The positions for the luminance meter shall be
the same as those given for the observer in MS 825-5.
NOTES:
1. The field of calculation specified in MS 825-5 commences 60 m from the observer. This means that to prevent
overlap of the measurement areas as seen through a luminance meter set at this distance, the angular subtense of
the measurement cone should be small, as indicated above. As a less rigorous alternative, a luminance meter with a
larger measurement cone can be used at a closer distance and a lower height. It is recommended that the
measurement cone of the luminance meter should not exceed 30 min of arc, and the size of the measurement area
on the road should not be greater than 0.5 m transversely and 2.5 m longitudinally.
2. Because of the variation of the road surface reflecting properties, both spatially and temporally, there can be large
differences between measured and calculated luminances. It can, therefore, be considered preferable to compare
calculated illuminances and measured illuminances. This has also the advantage of eliminating the need for
luminance measurements, which are difficult to make on site.

MS 825-6:2012
3. Ideally, for roads in the dry condition, a number of samples of the road surface should be removed for
measurement under laboratory conditions. This is an expensive and lengthy procedure, which may not be
practicable. At present there is no generally available portable instrument for taking these measurements. Visual
inspection can indicate that certain parts of the road differ from the other parts owing to wear and oily deposits along
the length of the road. These differences can be easily visible with light coloured road surfaces, such as concrete,
and should be noted in the report of the measurements (see clause A3).
4. In advance of taking measurements, it can be convenient to mark out the relevant grid on the road surface with
markers which allow the meter to be correctly aligned when they are viewed through the viewfinder of the luminance
meter. Should they appear in the measuring cone of the luminance meter they should be removed before a
measurement is taken.
5. Dampness or wetness of the road surface will significantly affect its luminance (4.2). Atmospheric absorption will
reduce the light reaching the road surface and the light from the road surface reaching the luminance meter.
Where the measurements are required for monitoring purposes, absolute calibration of the
luminance meter is not necessary, but consideration should be given to the long term ageing
of the luminance meter. In addition, the constraints on field of view mentioned above may be
relaxed.
