Reaffirmed in 2021

This standard applies to lighting systems for makeup mirrors and makeup stations used by performers and makeup artists for applying makeup to performers in theatres and other performance venues. It describes the topology of the makeup mirror lighting system, the quantity of light, the distribution of light from those sources, apparent source size, brightness, color rendering, and correlated color temperature.

This standard does not prohibit the development and use of other makeup mirror lighting systems, but makeup mirror lighting systems not meeting the minimum requirements of this standard shall not be said to comply with this standard. This is not intended to be used as a regulatory document.

This standard does not address the electrical or mechanical safety of makeup mirror lighting systems. Those matters are addressed in standards published by other organizations.
