Testing for potential photobiological risk hazards enables lamp manufacturers to assess their products, giving purchasers greater assurance of product safety.

Hi, I was imaging specular surfaces of larger diameters (500mm). I built a setup for getting uniform diffused lighting using a carton box and chart papers. I glued chart papers (rough side on the top) on the 6 faces inside the box. Four diffused bar lights were placed at four faces as the light source. I am getting very good images with no specular reflection. I am thinking of making an enclosure and placing the cameras and objects (to be imaged) inside it. I need to propose this setup to an industry. How can I build the same setup more professionally? The setup should be strong and it should have a long lifetime. Please share your knowledge.

Photobiological testing allows manufacturers to evaluate the safety of lamps and lamp systems, including luminaires. Photobiological testing standards, such as IEC/EN 62471, or UL 507 and UL 8802 define exposure limits, measurement techniques, and classification schemes for evaluation and control of photobiological hazards from all sources of optical radiation, including LEDs. Various biological hazards are considered, including the biological effects on both the eyes and skin.

Intertek provides safety and performance certification to nationally recognized standards for a wide range of products. Our product directories allow you to easily verify products that carry our marks.

Since November 2009, testing to IEC/EN 62471 and IEC/TR 62471-2 has been required under IECEE CB Scheme, European CCA, and ENEC schemes. It is anticipated that a photobiological test will become a requirement for other electrical standards in the future. Intertek offers global capabilities for photobiological testing.
