Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety for Lamps and Lamp Systems - General Requirements
Scope/Abstract
The purpose of these standards is to inform the public and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) about potential radiation hazards that may be associated with various lamps and lamp systems. It is also the purpose of these standards to provide guidance, advice, and standard methods for evaluating and informing the user, both the public and the OEM, about the potential optical radiation hazards that may be associated with these products.

This Recommended Practice covers the evaluation and control of optical radiation hazards from all electrically powered sources of optical radiation that emit in the wavelength range from 200 nm through 3,000 nm (3.0 um [micrometers]) except for light emitting diodes (LEDs) used in optical fiber communication systems and for lasers which are covered in a separate series of ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards (Series Z136). Federal mandatory requirements for lamps subject to specific Federal Regulations take precedence over requirements in subsequent standards included in this series.
