We have published a booklet titled "Q&A on the Photobiological Safety of Products that Emit Ultraviolet Rays."

UL Japan

In recent years, there has been increasing consideration for equipping devices with LEDs and lamps that emit ultraviolet (UV) light. This incorporation of UV-emitting components has raised concerns about the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin and eyes. We are addressing common questions from customers regarding methods to assess potential UV hazards and the safety standards that can be applied.
