Defining rainfall: light, moderate, heavy

Can anyone provide a reference for defining rainfall as light, moderate or heavy by visibility please? Ie is moderate rain say 4000m and heavy 2000m?

I have found definitions by rainfall rates per hour but this is obviously harder to determine during periods of high workload.

The reason for the request is due to the TALPA ARC requirements for landing.

Many thanks.
