BS EN 62471:2008

This standard BS EN 62471:2008 Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 31.260 Optoelectronics. Laser equipment
• 29.140.01 Lamps in general

Gives guidance for evaluating the photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems including luminaires. Specifically it specifies the exposure limits, reference measurement technique and classification scheme for the evaluation and control of photobiological hazards from all electrically powered incoherent broadband sources of optical radiation, including LEDs but excluding lasers, in the wavelength range from 200 nm through 3000 nm. This standard was prepared as Standard CIE S 009:2002 by the International Commission on Illumination.
