What is ISO 19855?

ISO 19855:2018 – Lighting of Sports Grounds – Specific Requirements is an internationally recognized standard that establishes technical requirements for the design, installation, and performance of lighting systems in sports venues, particularly stadiums. It includes parameters related to horizontal and vertical illuminance, glare limitation, color rendering, and uniformity to ensure visual comfort and broadcasting compatibility. It is applicable to both indoor and outdoor sports grounds.

We, at Quality Asia Certification, issue ISO 19855:2018 certifications to stadium operators, sports venue contractors, infrastructure, and lighting system integrators who meet the standard's defined criteria.
