Photobiological Safety Meter
Optical radiation from artificial and natural light sources can effect a photobiological reaction on human skin and eye with the risk of damage due to overexposure. Regulations, standards and guidelines that include effective limit values are published for equipment safety and occupational safety in the workplace. Equipment safety requirements that are internationally agreed on require manufacturer’s to classify, design criteria and warning labels for their products, whereas workplace safety tends to be more national requiring health hazard protection of employees including published exposure limit values, threat analysis and precautionary measures. The most current regulations are:
IEC 62471:2006 and EN 62471:2008 for equipment safety
2006/25/EC guideline and DIN EN 14255-1 for safety of workplaces
IEC TR 62778:2014 for the assessment of blue light hazard of light sources and luminaires
Integral measurement technology
Gigahertz-Optik GmbH, as a world class manufacturer of high-end filter photometers, colorimeters and radiometers has manufactured light meters for light hazard measurement and assessment since 1992. The early single sensor design of the hazard light meter was later replaced by dual or multi-cell detectors for improved measurement uncertainty (the spectral sensitivity function can be better tuned) and also for simpler operation.
