About the Webinar
There still remains some ambiguity and debate regarding the potential hazards and application of associated safety standards regarding LEDs. Much of this stems from the lack of understanding about the chief applicable safety standards – IEC62471, Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems, and ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1, Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety for Lamps and Lamp Systems, General Requirements. The basis of both standards are the Risk Groups which indicates the degree of risk from potential photobiological (typically LEDs) hazards. The widespread and ever increasing use of LEDs requires product designers to assure that the hazards associated with LED energy are well-understood, and that the appropriate safety standard requirements and regulations are applied. This one hour webinar provides an introduction to photobiological safety associated with LEDs. This webinar provides a key overview of critical device design safety information for complying with safety requirements and entry into the product marketplace.
