SKY QUALITY PROTECTION TECHNICAL OFFICE

The Sky Quality Protection Technical Office (OTPC) was set up by the IAC in January 1992 to provide advice on the application of the Sky Law (Law 31/1988), which protects the astronomical quality of observatories in the Canaries from:

• light pollution
• radioelectrical pollution
• atmospheric pollution
• aviation routes

The OTPC provides advice on the application of regulations contained in the Law and produces technical reports for lighting projects and radioelectric stations, as well as issuing lighting certificates.
