    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC/TR 62471-2:2009(E) provides the basis for optical radiation safety requirements of non-laser products, serving as a guide for development of safety requirements in vertical product standards and assisting lamp system manufacturers in the interpretation of safety information provided by the lamp manufacturers. This report provides guidance on:
    - requirements for optical radiation safety assessment;
    - allocation of safety measures;
    - labelling of products.
    This technical report does not address safety requirements of intentional exposure to optical radiation from sun tanning equipment, ophthalmic instruments or other medical/cosmetic devices whose specific safety issues are addressed through appropriate standards.
