Optical Radiation Safety Test

IEC62471-2006 (CIE S009) Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems and IEC TR62471-2(2009) Guidance on Manufacturing Requirements Relating to Non-laser Optical Radiation Safety have been published addressing hazards to humans (primarily eye and skin), and are fully suitable to assess the optical radiation safety of non-laser sources, such as LED products and UV radiation in general lighting products. The hazard exposure level of optical radiation may range from 200nm to 3000nm. This is based on the measurement of spectral irradiance and spectral radiance in specified measuring geometry relating to exposure duration. Standards include: IEC62471-1/EN62471-1 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems”, CIE S009 / GB/T 20145 “Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems”, IEC62471-6:2022 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems – Part 6: Ultraviolet lamp products”, IEC62471-7:2023 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems – Light sources and luminaires primarily emitting visible radiation”, IEC/EN 60598/ GB 7000.1 “Luminaires-Part1: General requirements and tests”, IEC/EN 60432 “Incandescent lamps – Safety specifications – Part 1: Tungsten filament lamps for domestic and similar general lighting purposes”, IEC60335-2-27 “Household and similar electrical appliances; Safety – Part 2-27: Particular requirements for appliances for skin exposure to ultraviolet and infrared radiation”, IEC60335-2-59 “Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 2-59: Particular requirements for insect killers”. The IEC 62471 measurement equipment is specialized for the optical radiation hazard exposure level measurement in IEC 62471.

• Actinic UV hazard exposure (weighted irradiance from 200nm to 400nm) for skin and eye
• Near-UV hazard exposure (irradiance from 315nm to 400nm) for the eye
• Retinal blue light hazard exposure (weighted radiance from 300nm to 700nm)
• Retinal blue light hazard exposure (weighted irradiance, 300-700nm) – small light sources
