Philanthropy

Our staff regularly contribute to the development of global standards and regulations through our involvement in organisations such as the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), Standards Australia and other standards bodies.

In particular, our Technical Director Tony Bergen is President of CIE Australia and is Secretary of CIE Division 2; and ourCEO Dr Steve Jenkins is the Australian CIE Division 4 representative. They both also serve on many CIE Technical Committees.

Furthermore, Dr Jenkins and Mr Bergen are also Technical Assessors for the Australian National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA). NATA is Australia’s national laboratory accreditation authority. Dr Jenkins and Mr Bergen are regularly used by NATA to assess the technical performance of photometric laboratories in Australia for ISO-17025 accreditation.
