RE: Ultraviolet Radiation Hazards

["Levin, Robert" <levin@OSI.SYLVANIA.com>]

There are two ANSI standards relating to lamps and broad band optical
sources in the range from 200 nm to 3000 nm.

ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1-96, Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety
for Lamps and Lamp Systems - General Requirements.

ANSI/IESNA RP-27.3-96, Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety
for Lamps - Risk Group Classification and Labeling.

These documents are available through the Illuminating Engineering
Society of North America, 120 Wall Street, 17th Floor, New York, NY
10005.
