Optical Radiation Safety Test

IEC62471-2006(CIE S009) Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp System and IEC TR62471-2(2009) Guidance on Manufacturing Requirements Relating to Non-laser Optical Radiation Safety have be published addressing hazard to human (mostly eye and skin), and are completely suitable to assess the optical radiation safety of non-laser sources, such as LED products, UV radiation in general lighting products and etc.

The hazard exposure level of optical radiation may be related from 200nm to 3000nm. It is based on the measurement of spectral irradiance and spectral radiance in specified measuring geometry relating with exposure duration.
