Requirements for storage facilities for medicines. Buildings and premises Artificial lighting in a pharmacy

Lighting- natural: the windows of the trading floor, assistant's room, aseptic unit are located to the north. The windows of the inventory department, the optics department, the washing department are located to the south. Windows size.

KEO - coefficient representing the percentage of horizontal illumination indoors to the simultaneous horizontal illumination outdoors.

SC is the ratio of the glazed window surface to the floor area.

Incident angle - this indicator characterizes the angle at which light rays fall from the window onto a given horizontal surface in the room, onto the desktop.

Hole angle - characterizes the size of the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe sky, the light from which falls on workplace and directly illuminates the work surface.

artificial lighting- type of light source: fluorescent lamps low pressure and incandescent lamps, the pharmacy uses two lighting systems, general and local, general system located on the ceiling in all industrial premises, local - mainly localized in the assistant's, aseptic unit, pharmacist-analyst's room above the workplaces.

In the trading floor there are lamps that meet lighting, hygienic, architectural and artistic requirements. For this, artistically designed chandeliers are used, which are combined with decorative trim trading floor. In total, there are six chandeliers in the trading floor, arranged in two rows of three, one after another.

In all other rooms, fluorescent ceiling lamps from the Riga Lighting Engineering Plant were used. Their armature reduces the stroboscopic effect and allows you to get diffused light.

To determine the sufficiency of illumination, a luxmeter is used. The luxmeter consists of a selenium photocell and a pointer galvanometer. When a light flux falls on a photocell, the latter transforms light energy into electrical energy; The resulting current is recorded by a galvanometer. The strength of the current is proportional to the intensity of illumination. According to the deviation of the galvanometer needle, the amount of illumination is judged. The scale of the galvanometer is calibrated in lux.

The intensity of artificial lighting is determined using a luxmeter and, comparing the received illumination with the norms, a conclusion is made about its sufficiency.

Of all the existing lamps, LEDs for lighting the trading floor of a pharmacy are the most expedient option today. This lighting solution allows you to harmoniously combine the high quality of light and energy efficiency. LED systems are ideal for pharmacies. They are environmentally friendly, allow you to evenly distribute light in the room, are easy to install and affordable.

Pharmacy LED lighting allows:
significantly save electricity - up to 150%;
increase the illumination of the retail space and equipment - up to 50%;
eliminate the pulsation of the light flux;
positively influence the purchasing activity of visitors;
focus on individual showcases, a group of goods, promotional material.

To replace raster fluorescent lamps previously used for lighting pharmacies, the best way LightLight-Armstrong lamp is suitable. It is adapted to power surges. Depending on the design of the ceiling, it can be installed built-in (in a suspended version) or overhead. LED lights Supplied with diffusers that regulate light transmission. We offer four options to choose from.

Proper pharmacy lighting is not only a requirement of sanitary standards. This is the image component of it. successful work, a guarantee of a comfortable atmosphere for customers and staff, a means of increasing sales.

The photographs show our work on LED lighting premises of the ASNA Pharmacy.

A pharmacy is a specialized establishment where people can buy various medicines. Since medicines are also a commodity, they must be properly presented to buyers so that they can quickly find the required remedy. by the most the best way to demonstrate a wide range of offers, as well as to enable customers to fully consider not only the price, but also the information provided on the packaging is lighting.

Since only pharmacies have the right to sell medicines, then the whole organization of such premises is subject to certain requirements. Our today's article will tell you about what you should pay attention to when creating pharmacy lighting, as well as what requirements exist in this situation.

Pharmacy features

The pharmacy is a hall of a certain area, in which there are stands with medicines, as well as a cash desk. Moreover, the dimensions of the stands depend on the dimensions of the pharmacy itself. In connection with such an organization of the working premises, the lighting system is of great importance. Here, the backlight should perform the following functions:

  • sufficiently bright lighting that will allow you to fully view all the shelves of stands and medicines placed on them;

Note! Light coming from lighting fixtures pharmacy, should allow you to see without additional effort the name of the medicine, cost and other information printed on the packaging by the manufacturer.

Medicine rack

  • uniform illumination of the entire pharmacy premises. The brightest lighting should cover the entire hall, including the space through which customers and employees move;
  • full coverage of the cashier. This will avoid the situation of incorrectly issued change or an error in determining the cost of a particular drug.

A bright and well-lit pharmacy hall has a positive effect on emotional condition visitors. But poorly lit pharmacy rooms, on the contrary, cause discomfort and a feeling of painful despondency.

Existing lighting standards

In order to effectively organize a lighting system in any room, including production and living rooms, there are special regulatory and regulatory documents. They indicate not only the norms of the level of illumination, but also the requirements that apply to each specific room, depending on their purpose. Such documents include SNiP and SanPin.

Note! This documentation defines the minimum level of illumination that must be created in any type of premises. This means that below this level, lighting can begin to cause some discomfort or even harm health.

For a pharmacy, this documentation also has its own rules, as well as requirements.
The requirements and norms that are given in the above documents must be taken into account in the organization of any type of backlight. Otherwise, the lighting system will not be able to efficiently cope with its functions.
To create a comfortable environment for visitors, the light coming from pharmacy lighting fixtures must meet the following requirements:

  • the level of lighting in its minimum value should not be lower than the standards prescribed in the regulatory documentation (SanPin and SNiP);

Note! The norms prescribed in the documents are applicable to old light sources (incandescent lamps). Therefore, if they use modern light bulbs (LED, fluorescent, etc.), you need to know the conversion factor for their power in relation to incandescent lamps.

Table of luminous flux of different light bulbs

  • on a glass showcase, the light should not create glare that will prevent comfortable viewing of the range of goods presented on the racks;
  • the absence of shadows that will fall on the medicines in the showcase;
  • when using accent lighting for showcases, the difference in the luminous flux between it and the general lighting should be at least three times. Otherwise, visitors will notice the contrast, which will lead to eye fatigue.

At the same time, street lighting of pharmacy windows should be several times higher than its internal hall.

What you need to do to get a sales license

Being a special institution, a pharmacy must have a license for its work. In order to receive it, all relevant requirements must be taken into account in the premises.

A huge role in obtaining a license to operate a pharmacy is played by its lighting system. The following types of room lighting should be developed here:

  • daylight. The pharmacy hall in the daytime should be illuminated by natural lighting, which is achieved through spacious window openings, near which it is worth placing racks and showcases in the room. Since few pharmacies are open around the clock, natural lighting plays a leading role here;

Note! Natural lighting is the most optimal for our eyes. Therefore, it is worth creating such conditions so that the illumination of the pharmacy premises is carried out naturally for as long as possible. To do this, when organizing pharmacies, they choose corner rooms with spacious windows located in two of the four walls.

Pharmacy natural lighting

  • artificial lighting. In the evening and at night, any premises, including a pharmacy, are illuminated with the help of artificial lighting, which is organized using various lighting devices. Artificial lighting in this situation is used when natural lighting becomes inadequate (rainy and cloudy day, decrease daylight hours, improper placement of the pharmacy).

Pharmacy artificial lighting

Today, there are a wide variety of artificial lighting options used to ensure that the pharmacy hall is lit evenly and efficiently. Artificial lighting, unlike natural lighting, can be further divided into the following types:

  • general. It is organized with the help of ceiling lighting fixtures. It should give a powerful luminous flux sufficient to fully illuminate the entire hall;

Pharmacy general lighting

  • accentuating. It is used for full illumination of individual showcases and their shelves. It can also be used to highlight certain products (auction offers or new medicines).

Showcase accent lighting

Both of these types of illumination refer to interior lighting. But the pharmacy must also have street lighting. It is mainly aimed at visual highlighting at night and in the evening of the name. This is done so that customers can quickly find a pharmacy even in a situation where it is not located separately, but, for example, in an apartment building.

Pharmacy street lighting

Only when all the requirements for organizing lighting (natural, artificial, as well as street plan) are taken into account, the pharmacy will receive a license.

What you need to know in organizing the lighting of pharmacy premises

Pharmacy Hall, as well as its utility rooms, have certain requirements, which we partially considered in the previous subparagraphs. Here we will consider in more detail the requirements that exist regarding the organization of natural and artificial type illumination.
The pharmacy hall, in which the showcases and the cash desk are located, must have both types of lighting: natural and artificial. Moreover, much more attention is paid to natural lighting here, since artificial lighting in this room will be of an additional nature (ideally).

Correct lighting of the pharmacy hall

At the same time, for utility rooms, the requirements in this matter are not so categorical. For them, it is allowed to organize lighting only with the help of lighting fixtures.

Note! Warehouses in this case mean rooms that do not have a permanent workplace. This definition includes bathrooms, pantries, dressing rooms, warehouses, showers, etc. But here the requirements of sanitary standards must be met.

Color rendering index

Artificial lighting, which illuminates the hall or any other pharmacy premises, has the following requirements in its organization:

  • the luminous flux created by artificial lighting devices should be as close as possible in their technical specifications to natural light;
  • no blinding effect;
  • the absence of any adverse factors that may adversely affect the performance of the human visual system;

Note! Great importance in this situation, it has such an indicator as the color rendering index. It means how reliably a particular light source is capable of transmitting colors. Such indicators are always indicated by manufacturers on the packaging of light bulbs. The higher the color rendering index, the brighter and closer to reality the colors of drug packages will be. without distortion.

  • if possible, the availability of a way to adjust the level of the light flux in order to best adjust the operation of the lamps for specific functions (combining and natural lighting on a cloudy day, hall lighting in the evening, etc.).

Now consider each lighting option in more detail.

Natural type of lighting in a pharmacy room

Ultraviolet radiation

It should be noted that the pharmacy has rather strict requirements for insolation (natural light). It is known that the sun's rays also carry ultraviolet radiation, which is characterized by antimicrobial action. This means that sunlight is able to kill pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi and microbes) in a certain amount. And it is often sick people who come to the pharmacy at different stages of the course of the disease, who are potential carriers of the infection. Therefore, in this situation, natural lighting is an element of protecting pharmacy workers, as well as its visitors, from the risk of infection.
Such a positive effect is widely used in medicine today. And to increase the efficiency of ultraviolet radiation, which is minimal in natural light due to the ozone layer of the atmosphere, special ultraviolet lamps are used for these purposes.

A properly organized natural pharmacy lighting option will:

  • fully illuminate the hall;
  • carry out certain disinfection of the pharmacy premises;
  • increase the efficiency of staff;
  • improve the mood of employees and visitors;
  • support on good level microclimate in the room.

Note! In this situation, you should take care to avoid overheating the room. For these purposes, you can use the conditioner.

To achieve such positive moments, window openings in a pharmacy must meet the following requirements:

  • glasses must be clean and even, without distortions and defects. Windows should be washed at least twice a year;
  • free from various items window sills. They can reduce the natural light flux that enters the hall through the window opening.

When the window is placed sideways, the light through it is able to penetrate into the interior of the room by no more than two meters.
In addition, a light finish will increase the natural luminous flux. interior spaces, as well as the correct placement of shelving and showcases. A light finish increases the reflective properties of surfaces, resulting in an increase in overall light levels. There are such indicators of the reflectivity of the paint:

  • white - 80%;
  • light yellow - 50%;
  • blue - 25%;
  • brown - 13%.

As you can see, when designing natural lighting, many nuances must be taken into account.

Artificial type of illumination of the pharmacy room

Today, various models of light bulbs are used as light sources in a pharmacy:

  • fluorescent lamps. They are recommended because they give the closest level of luminous flux to the natural type of lighting. At the same time, it is worth putting on special shades for such lamps, which can reduce the stroboscopic effect, as well as make the light flux diffuse;

Note! Low pressure bulbs should be preferred.

Pharmacy fluorescent lighting

  • LED lamp. These light sources have appeared on the lighting market relatively recently. Therefore, they are not included in normative documents just like other types of light bulbs. As a result, before installing them, it is necessary to consult with authorized authorities regarding the appropriateness of their use in pharmacy premises.

Note! Among all the light bulbs that exist at the moment, LED light sources are considered the most optimal. They consume a minimum of electricity, and are also able to provide high-quality luminous flux for long period time without failure. In addition, they do not have negative impact on the human body.

Pharmacy LED Lighting

Separately, it should be noted that for street lighting Pharmacies are currently actively using LED strips. Also, LED strips can be used to create accent lighting on showcases and racks.

Placement of lighting fixtures in a pharmacy

One of the most important points in organizing the lighting of pharmacies is the competent placement of lighting devices. Luminaires must be placed in accordance with their purpose:

  • for general lighting - it is recommended to use built-in luminaires (Armstrong type), which are evenly distributed over the entire surface of the ceiling. At the same time, one lamp must be placed above the cash register, as well as above all workplaces of the attendants. All ceiling lighting fixtures must be equipped with diffusers to create a diffused and full-fledged light flux covering the entire hall;

Note! This principle applies to all pharmacy premises, including the hall.

Placement of lamps in a pharmacy

  • accent lighting can be organized as spotlights built into shelves, or led strip, launched around the perimeter of the showcase.

AT warehouses wall lights can be used. But here you should also choose an installation location where their luminous flux will be optimal.
Separately, it is worth noting that in rooms with high humidity (for example, a toilet), it is necessary to install lighting devices that have an increased moisture resistance class. It will help to avoid negative consequences for lamps as a result of moisture penetration into their electronic parts. lamps with higher class moisture-proof capable long time withstand contact with water, without reducing the efficiency of its work.
The lamps themselves can be of two varieties:

  • invoices;
  • embedded.

Their choice is based on the option of ceiling finishes. Yes, for hanging ceiling structures built-in lamps should be used. And in all other situations, you can use overhead varieties of lighting fixtures.

The most common mistakes in organizing pharmacy lighting

The most common mistakes that are often found in pharmacies when organizing their coverage include:

  • insufficient illumination of the trading floor. This error can be easily determined by subjective feelings. In such a room, a long stay will cause discomfort, as well as eye strain. Such a situation can be caused by improper placement of showcases and racks that block natural or artificial light flux, low power of light sources, incorrectly correlated dimensions of the room with standards regarding the level of illumination, malfunction of a part of lighting equipment, etc.;

Incorrect room lighting

  • Incorrectly used shop window lighting. When creating accent lighting on the shelves, it must be remembered that the light flux should evenly illuminate all medicinal products, without glare and dark areas. So, very often, setting one Spotlights, it turns out uneven illumination of the underlying shelves.

Note! The best way to qualitatively and fully evaluate the whole showcase, including all its shelves, is to use an LED strip.

Incorrect window lighting

In addition, you can make a mistake with street lighting. For example, if part of the lighting equipment is out of order, the name of the establishment may glow incorrectly. For example, only part of the letters may be illuminated or the entire inscription may flicker. In any situation, the enticing function of such a backlight should be forgotten, as it will rather scare away customers than attract. After all, the facade is the face of any institution. If there are problems outside, then even worse can be expected inside.

Conclusion

The lighting system in a pharmacy, in all its premises and corners, must always meet the standards and requirements specified in the relevant regulated documentation. A pharmacy is a narrowly focused space that should not only be attractive to customers, but also provide them with a comfortable, safe stay in its hall. Therefore, when organizing lighting, it is necessary to take into account not only the location of the lighting fixtures, but also other nuances: the number of windows, interior decoration etc. Only in this way the pharmacy premises will correspond to their purpose.

We select lamps for mirrors, possible options Choice of lighting in the children's room, possible options We equip the lighting of working areas of the kitchen: simple rules for comfortable cooking

Ventilation- natural, there are 5 windows in the pharmacy, the size of the windows is 1.5x2.0m. (s = 3m2) in each window there is one window, the size of the windows is: 0.4x0.5m. (s=0.2m. The area of ​​the vent from the area of ​​the window is 7 parts. Ventilation mode: 2 times during the working day.

Pharmacy lighting

Natural lighting of the premises is provided by direct sunlight (insolation), diffused light from the sky and reflected light from the opposing building and the surface of the coating. The lack of natural light causes the phenomenon of "light starvation", i.e. a state of the body caused by a deficiency of ultraviolet radiation and manifested in metabolic disorders and a decrease in the body's resistance. Premises with permanent residence of people should have natural lighting. Natural lighting of premises is determined by the light climate, i.e. conditions of outdoor natural lighting, which depend on the general climatic conditions terrain, the degree of transparency of the atmosphere, as well as the reflectivity of surrounding objects. The level of natural lighting in the premises is also influenced by the geographic latitude of the area, the orientation of the building to the cardinal points, the presence of window shading by the opposing building, which in turn depends on the distance between them, the height and color of the walls, as well as the proximity of green spaces. Of great importance is the size of window openings, their shape and location. All these factors determine the duration and intensity of illumination of the room with direct sunlight, i.e. insolation mode of the premises. The hygienic classification of the duration of indoor insolation takes into account the general health-improving, bactericidal and psychophysiological effects of direct sunlight, as well as the optimal combination of all factors, subject to minimum values each of them.

The pharmacy has the best orientation, providing sufficient illumination and insolation of the premises without overheating, is south I and southeast, east sides. It contributes to the sanitation of the air, which occurs due to the penetration and impact sun rays, the bactericidal energy of which is sufficient to improve the internal environment of the premises in normal conditions. North, northwest, northeast rooms are located in which high insolation is not required or it is necessary to prevent the action of direct sunlight. These are auxiliary premises of pharmacies. ( material premises, washing.) This orientation provides uniform natural light to the space and prevents overheating. Western orientation causes overheating of the premises in summer and lack of solar insolation in winter. The illumination of the premises depends on the degree of light reflection, which is determined by the color of the ceiling, walls, floor and equipment in the room itself. dark colors absorb a large number of light, and light coloring increases illumination due to reflected light. White color and bright hues provide reflection of light rays by 70-90%, light yellow color - by 60%, light green - by 46%, color natural wood- by 40%, blue - by 25%, dark yellow - by 20%, light brown - by 15%, dark green - by 10%, blue and purple - by 6-10%. In our pharmacy, the color is light green.

The level of natural light is affected by the quality and cleanliness of glass, walls, ceiling, the shading of windows with curtains, the presence of high flowers on the windowsills. So, dirty walls reflect light 2 times less than newly painted ones. A sooty ceiling reduces the illumination of the room by one third. Depending on the location of the light openings, natural lighting is divided into side (through windows), upper (through skylights) and combined (top and side). In our pharmacy side. Natural illumination is normalized in relative terms, depending on the arrival of the solar luminous flux (natural illumination coefficient, light coefficient, incidence angle and opening angle). For hygienic assessment of natural lighting, lighting equipment is used. and G geometric (graphic ) research methods. Using the lighting method, the coefficient of natural light is determined (KEO). Daylight ratio shows what percentage is the natural illumination at the workplace indoors, created by skylight (direct or after reflection), to the simultaneous value of natural illumination at horizontal surface outside the building in the open air.

KEO at natural light for various premises pharmacies depending on their functional purpose is installed with the optimal orientation of the premises and the minimum duration of insolation of their facades with direct sunlight. This takes into account the nature of visual work and the light climate. Using the geometric method, the light coefficient is determined (SK), penetration factor ( KZ) . Light coefficient expresses the ratio of the area of ​​the light (glazed) surface of the windows, taken as a unit, to the floor area of ​​the room. To calculate the light coefficient, the area of ​​​​the glazing of the windows and the floor area (in m 2) are measured, and then their ratio is calculated. The light coefficient in residential and preschool institutions is recommended at the level 1:5-1:6, in classrooms 1:4-1:5. When designing pharmacies, it is necessary to take into account that the SC is not lower than the indicated values.

The value of the light coefficient in pharmacy premises: Material, washing, shopping room, recreation room, 1:6

Depth factor expresses the ratio of the distance from the floor to the top edge of the window to the depth of the room. KZ should not exceed 2,5, which is ensured by the depth of the room up to 6 m.
