The Integration of Colour and Light Standards in Education and Industry in Kosovo

Session

Integrated Design

Description

Colour perception and lighting circumstances are frequently approached subjectively and instinctively, resulting in mistakes and inconsistencies in design practice. Globally recognised standards, like ISO 3664 for standard illumination in graphics, ISO 13655 for spectrophotometric measurements, and the CIE guidelines for colour spaces, provide more precise and internationally comparable evaluations. Although these standards are essential in education and industry in industrialised nations, they are deficient in Kosovo at both the academic level and within accredited colour and light laboratories. The practical uses are extensive: verifying print proofs under D50 illumination, assessing fashion textiles to prevent metamerism, planning interior lighting in accordance with EN 12464-1, and employing UV lights to detect counterfeit documents. The integration of accredited standards in education not only increases the competence of students but also creates bridges of cooperation between education, industry, to increasing quality and export, and scientific research.
