CIE undertook a major review of the official recommendations on photobiological effects, their dose relationships and measurement.
Guidance is provided for evaluating the photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems.
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. The reference measurement techniques for lamps and lamp systems were included in this standard since the performance of the necessary measurements is normally not an easy task without sophisticated instruments.
