Measurement and assessment of personal exposures to incoherent optical radiation - Part 2: Visible and infrared radiation emitted by artificial sources in the workplace
This European Standard specifies procedures for the measurement and assessment of personal exposures to visible (VIS) and infrared (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 not 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 the 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 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 µm. 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 addresses these effects.
This European Standard does not apply to radiation emissions of products.
NOTE 5 For radiation emissions of products other standards apply, such as EN 12198 for radiation emissions of machinery, EN 60335-2-27 for household appliances for skin exposures to ultraviolet and infrared radiation and CIE S009 for the safety of lamps and lamp systems.
This European Standard does not apply to heat stress, i.e. long term heat

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für VIS- und IR-Exposition an Arbeitsplätzen in Gebäuden und im Freien. Sie gilt nicht für VIS- und IR-Expositionen während der Freizeit.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für die von der Sonne verursachten VIS- und IR-Expositionen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Teil 3 dieser Norm behandelt die von der Sonne verursachten UV-Expositionen.
Diese Europäische Norm legt keine Grenzwerte für VIS- und IR-Exposition fest. Sie unterstützt die Anwendung der in nationalen Bestimmungen oder internationalen Empfehlungen festgesetzten Grenzwerte.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für VIS- und IR-Expositionen durch künstliche inkohärente Strahlungsquellen, die einzelne Spektrallinien und/oder kontinuierliche Spektren aussenden. Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für kohärente Strahlungsquellen.
ANMERKUNG 3 Kohärente optische Strahlungsquellen werden in Normen für Laser, wie EN 60825-1 usw., behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für sichtbare (VIS) und Infrarot-(IR)-Strahlungsexpositionen im Wellenlängen-bereich 380 nm bis 3 µm. Sie gilt auch für Strahlungsexpositionen, die zu einer Blaulichtgefährdung im Wellenlängenbereich 300 nm bis 700 nm führen können.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für weitere Auswirkungen, für die die Wirkungsspektren ausschließlich im UV-Bereich 180 nm bis 400 nm liegen.
ANMERKUNG 4 Mit diesen Auswirkungen befasst sich Teil 1 von EN 14255.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für die von Produkten abgegebene Strahlung.
Mesurage et évaluation de l'exposition des personnes aux rayonnements optiques incohérents - Partie 2 : Rayonnements visibles et infrarouges émis par des sources artificielles sur les lieux de travail
La présente Norme européenne spécifie le mode opératoire du mesurage et de l’évaluation de l’exposition des personnes aux rayonnements visibles (VIS) et infrarouges (IR) émis par des sources artificielles, lorsque les effets négatifs de cette exposition ne peuvent pas être facilement exclus.
NOTE 1 Les effets négatifs ne surviendront généralement pas lors d’expositions à la lumière normale l’éclairage normal ou au chauffage d’une pièce.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à l’exposition aux rayonnements VIS et IR sur des lieux de travail intérieurs et extérieurs. Elle ne s’applique pas à l’exposition aux rayonnements VIS et IR pendant les loisirs.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas à l’exposition aux rayonnements VIS et IR émis par le soleil.
NOTE 2 La Partie 3 de la présente norme traitera de l’exposition au rayonnement UV solaire.
La présente Norme européenne ne spécifie pas de valeurs limites d’exposition aux rayonnements VIS et IR. Elle préconise d’appliquer les valeurs limites définies par les réglementations nationales ou par les recommandations internationales.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à l’exposition aux rayonnements VIS et IR émis par des sources artificielles incohérentes émettant soit un spectre de raie soit un spectre continu. Elle ne s’applique pas aux sources de rayonnements cohérents.
NOTE 3 Les sources de rayonnements optiques cohérents sont traités dans les normes relatives aux lasers, comme l’EN 60825-1, etc.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à l’exposition aux rayonnements visibles (VIS) et infrarouges (IR) dans la gamme de longueur d’onde de 380 nm à 3 mm. Elle s’applique également à l’exposition aux rayonnements pouvant présenter une lumière bleue dangereuse dans la gamme de longueur d’onde de 300 nm à 700 nm.
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas à d’autres effets que ceux dont les spectres d’action se situent uniquement dans le domaine ultraviolet de 180 nm à 400 nm.

Foreword
This European Standard (EN 14255-2:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 169 “Light
and lighting”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.

text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by June 2006.
EN 14255 Measurement and assessment of personal exposures to incoherent optical radiation is published in
four parts:
Part 1: Ultraviolet radiation emitted by artificial sources in the workplace.

Part 3: UV-Radiation emitted by the sun (in preparation).
Part 4: Terminology and quantities used in UV-, visible and IR-exposure measurements.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following

and United Kingdom.
Introduction
People may be exposed to adversely high levels of visible (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
source’s application or 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 patients (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, injuries 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 occu
