2.3.7 Radiation components in the ultra-violet range:

Ultra-violet radiation can have desirable effects (e.g., tanning) and undesirable ones (e.g., sunburn)
on the human body. The intensity of these effects depends on the irradiance level and the period of
exposure.

In the case of lamps intended for general lighting applications, lamp and light fitting manufacturers
must ensure that there is no possibility of any harmful effects even under high illuminance levels
over a full day.

All OSRAM DULUX

®

lamps comply with the safety limits of UV and Blue light components set by the

IEC 62471 Safety Standard – Photo-biological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems.

If light-sensitive materials are exposed to this light for relatively long periods, there may be some
change in colour (e.g., bleaching). In OSRAM DULUX

®

lamps this effect is caused primarily by UV-A

radiation. Lamps with low UV-A components or low illuminance levels should therefore be chosen
for illuminating light-sensitive materials.
