Full Sun observations in UV and EUV emission lines were performed by SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation) on SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) in 1996. The radiometric pre-flight calibration of SUMER is traceable to a primary radiometric source standard - the electron storage ring BESSY. Based on this calibration, the irradiance values at SOHO and at 1 AU have been obtained for the lines He i (lambda 584.33 { Angstroms}), O v (lambda 629.74 { Angstroms}), Ne viii (lambda 770.41 { Angstroms}), S v (lambda 786.47 { Angstroms}), O iv (lambda 787.72 { Angstroms}), S vi (lambda lambda 933.39, 944.52 { Angstroms}), H i Ly epsilon (lambda 937.80 { Angstroms}), C iii (lambda 977.04 { Angstroms}), N v (lambda 1238.81 { Angstroms}), Si i (lambda 1256.52 { Angstroms}), and C iv (lambda 1548.20 { Angstroms}). The spatially resolved measurements allowed good estimates to be made of the active region contributions to the irradiance of the quiet Sun. The centre-to-limb radiance variations of these lines have also been obtained from these measurements. For quiet solar conditions, a radiance spectrum was determined for wavelengths from 800 { Angstroms} to 1500 { Angstroms} near the centre of the solar disk.
