17、O (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical co

18、mmittee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electro

19、technical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was draf

24、ts and equipment utilizing UVC lamp fixtures. In this International Standard, when it comes to personal damage of UV disinfection, the whole UVC band range is more likely to be included. As for lamps of product equipment, UVC prefers to the 254 nm wavelength.UVC radiation is a low-penetrating form o

25、f UV as compared to UVA or UVB radiation. Measurements of human tissue show that 4 % to 7 % of UVC radiation, along with a wide range of wavelengths from 250 nm to 400 nm, is reflected6and absorbed in the first 2 m of the stratum corneum. Hence, the amount of UVC transmitted through the epidermis is

26、 minimized.7UVC radiation is invisible to humans and exposure to UVC radiation may have an effect on health. Ocular damage generally begins with photokeratitis but can also result in photokeratoconjunctivitis. Symptoms, which may not be evident until several hours after exposure, can include an abru

27、pt sensation comparable to sand in eyes, tearing, and eye pain of various degrees. Such symptoms may appear within 1 h to 12 h after UVC exposure and resolve fully within 24 h to 48 h. Acute overexposure to UVC band radiation may cause incapacity due to eye discomfort, but this generally regresses a

28、fter several days, leaving no permanent damage.Cutaneous damage consists of erythema, a reddening of the skin akin to sunburn but without tanning. The maximum effect of erythema occurs at a wavelength of 297 nm in the UVB band. UVC radiation at a wavelength of 254 nm is less effective in causing ery

29、thema. Therefore, the areas subject to exposure should be marked. Warning signs should be placed in certain locations to protect personnel or passers-by from UV hazards. Appropriate locations include access doors, air handling unit outside walls, equipment room doors, etc.The International Commissio

30、n on Illumination (CIE) 2010 completed a review of UVC photocarcinogenesis risks from germicidal lamps using basic biophysical principles due to the attenuation provided by the stratum corneum and epithelial tissues of the skin. Upper air disinfection could be safely used without significant risk fo
