Purpose
Having good lighting and visual comfort is an important part of having a good work environment where tasks can be performed safely and correctly. It is also beneficial for comfort and well-being. Insufficient lighting, glare and flicker are examples of phenomena than can have a negative impact on productivity, well-being and health.

A valuation by a third party helps to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled. RISE also offers certification of indoor environments with RISEs own certification mark called the P-mark. Lighting and visual comfort is included as one section in the certification of indoor environments.
