EN 14255-2:2005 (E) 5 Introduction People may be exposed to adversely high levels of v
29、isible (VIS) and/or infrared (IR) radiation in the workplace. The most important natural source for such VIS/IR-radiation is the sun. There are also artificial VIS/IR-radiation sources, where VIS- and/or IR-radiation is either intentionally emitted to achieve the purpose of the sources application o
30、r is unintentionally emitted. Visible optical radiation (VIS-radiation): Common applications for sources intentionally emitting visible optical radiation are: general lighting, signalling devices, initiation of industrial-, medical- or agricultural- photochemical processes and phototherapy of patien
31、ts (e.g. hyperbilirubinemia- and bright light therapy, physiotherapy and photodynamic therapy). Some examples of sources where visible radiation is unintentionally emitted are: welding arcs, industrial furnaces and some types of UV-sources. When people are irradiated by intense VIS-radiation, injuri
32、es may occur. VIS-radiation can cause damage to the retina through thermal or photochemical mechanisms. Photosensitization of the skin to visible light, usually due to the action of certain drugs, plants, or other substances, may occur shortly after administration of the drug (phototoxic sensitivity
33、), or may occur only after a latent period which can vary from days to months (photoallergic sensitivity, or photoallergy). VIS-radiation may also induce or aggravate some diseases like porphyria. Infrared optical radiation (IR-radiation): Common applications for sources intentionally emitting infra
34、red optical radiation are: radiative heaters, military nightsight devices, phototherapy of patients (e.g. physiotherapy and photodynamic therapy), industrial photochemical or photothermal processes. Some examples of sources, where infrared radiation is unintentionally emitted, are: welding arcs, som
35、e types of visible light sources (e.g. high power tungsten lamps) and industrial furnaces. When people are irradiated by intense IR-radiation, injuries may occur. The anterior structures of the eyes (cornea) and the skin may be damaged by short term IR-irradiation of high irradiance. Depending on th
36、e wavelength a certain fraction of IR radiation can also cause damage to the retina through thermal or photochemical mechanisms. But additionally, long term less intense IR-irradiation may also result in cumulative damage to the eyes and skin, such as cataracts and skin aging. In order to avoid shor
37、t term injuries and reduce additional risks from long term overexposure to VIS- and/or IR-radiation, national regulations and international recommendations require restriction of VIS/IR-exposure levels in the workplace. To achieve this, it is necessary to determine the level of VIS/IR-exposure and a
38、ssess its gravity. The determination of the level of VIS/IR-exposure can be done by measurement of the VIS/IR-exposure of the people likely to be exposed. Determination of the severity of a VIS/IR-exposure is normally done by comparison of the determined exposure level with the required or recommend
39、ed limit value. When the exposure level complies with the limit value no further action is necessary. When the limit value is exceeded protective measures have to be applied in order to decrease the VIS/IR-exposure. As the exposure situation at the workplace may change, it may be necessary to repeat
40、 the determination and assessment of VIS/IR-exposure at a later time. VIS/IR radiation exposure measurements are often costly and time consuming. So it is reasonable to avoid measurements if possible, i. e. if the personal VIS/IR radiation exposure can be estimated and either exceeds the limit value
41、s by far or is far below the limit values. In some cases, the manufacturer may have classified a device according to European and International Standards such as EN 12198 and CIE S009. Knowledge of the classification of all potential sources of VIS/IR may allow a sufficiently precise assessment of h
42、azard to be made without further measurement. Another approach could be to use known spectral data of sources in combination with calculation software in order to estimate exposure level 5. VIS/IR-exposure measurements are only necessary if it cannot be estimated in advance whether the limit values
43、will be exceeded or not. So as a first step of the assessment procedure it is useful to carry out a preliminary review including an exposure estimation. This European Standard does not specify VIS/IR-exposure limit values. VIS/IR-exposure limit values are set in national regulations or provided by i
44、nternational organizations, such as the International Commission for Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1. This European Standard specifies the procedures for measurement and assessment of VIS/IR-exposures in the workplace. As the results of measurement and assessment of EN 14255-2:2005 (E)
45、6 VIS/IR-exposure depend on the method of implementation, it is important to carry out measurements and assessments in a standardised way. EN 14255-2:2005 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies procedures for the measurement and assessment of personal exposures to visible (VIS) and infrared
46、(IR) radiation emitted by artificial sources, where adverse effects cannot be readily excluded. NOTE 1 Adverse effects will normally not occur in exposures caused by normal lighting or room heating. This European Standard applies to VIS- and IR- exposures in indoor and outdoor workplaces. It does no
47、t apply to VIS- and IR-exposures in leisure time. This European Standard does not apply to VIS- and IR- exposures caused by the sun. NOTE 2 Part 3 of this standard will deal with UV-exposures caused by the sun. This European Standard does not specify VIS- and IR-exposure limit values. It supports th
48、e application of limit values set by national regulations or international recommendations. This European Standard applies to VIS- and IR- exposures by artificial incoherent sources, which emit spectral lines as well as continuous spectra. This European Standard does not apply to coherent radiation
49、sources. NOTE 3 Coherent optical radiation sources are covered by standards for lasers, like EN 60825-1 etc. This European Standard applies to visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) radiation exposures in the wavelength band 380 nm to 3 m. It also applies to radiation exposures that may present a blue-light hazard in the wavelength band 300 nm to 700 nm. This European Standard does not apply to other effects of which the action spectra lie solely within the UV-region 180 nm to 400 nm. NOTE 4 Part 1 of EN 14255 add
