Biological Safety

Reduce the optical radiation bring from biological hazard
Are you sure what the lighting and lighting system you produce should be completely safety? You may think it should be only refer to safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing in the pass. The biological safety should also need to add into our demand nowadays. As it is well known to all, excess radiation will cause eye and skin sickness.
 
The biological safety IEC/EN 62471 requirement has assessed the optical radiation hazard from all kinds of lighting and broadband light source. This demand identify the wave band test scope should be from 200nm to 3000nm, including UV, visible light and infrared ray. Beside the product energy class, it need biological demand in additional, such as radiation intensity, radiance ect. In parallel, the test data should be identified with as exemption, low, middle, high hazard rating. The IEC/EN 62471 mainly focus on the wide wave band light testing, consolidate calculation the eye & skin reaction time to light, angle, sensitivity ect.
 
Application range
All the lighting and lighting systems but exclude laser. Not only have relevant request for LED, but also cover the incandescent, fluorescent, gas discharge lamps, arc lamps and other lighting products.
EU legislation 244/2009 has energy efficiency test requirement for the domestic non-directional  lights, it also show the special test demand that the UV content(UVA/UVB/UVC) needs to comply with IEC/EN 62471 and take related execution (including energy-saving / incandescent / halogen  lamps).
