PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SAFETY OF LAMPS AND LAMP SYSTEMS –

Part 5: Image projectors

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62471-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 76:
Optical radiation safety and laser equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
Most lamps and lamp systems are safe and do not pose photobiological risks except under
unusual exposure conditions. This also is the case for optical image projectors where
experience shows that even high power cinema projectors may be safe for accidental
momentary viewing and can only under some conditions pose optical hazards at close
distances or for intentional 'long-duration' staring into the source. The rapid development of
solid-state and other lamps or lamp systems has permitted new projector products, and
generated the need for a photobiological safety standard for this group of lamp systems.
Optical radiation hazards from all types of lamps and lamp systems are currently assessed by
the application of IEC 62471:2006 (CIE S 009:2002), Photobiological safety of lamps and
lamp systems. IEC 62471 covers LEDs, incandescent, low- and high-pressure gas-discharge,
arc and other lamps. Following the concept of vertical standards, the risk group classification
system in IEC 62471 for lamps is to be adapted for specific product groups such as image
projectors.
This part of IEC 62471 provides a risk group classification system for image projectors, and
measurement conditions for optical radiation emitted by image projectors. It includes
manufacturing requirements that may be required as a result of an image projector system
being assigned to a particular risk group. Therefore, this part of IEC 62471 provides safety
requirements for lamp systems that are intended to produce projected visible optical radiation,
such as theatre projectors, data projectors and home-use projectors. The assigned risk group
of a projector product also may be used by projector manufacturers to assist with any risk
assessments, e.g. for occupational exposure in workplaces. National requirements may exist
for the assessment of products or occupational exposure.
The emission limits provided in this part of IEC 62471 are derived from the exposure limits
1
specified by ICNIRP in their 2013 Guidelines for incoherent visible and infrared radiation [1] .
These exposure limits are also the basis for the emission limits to be specified in the future
2
International Standard IEC 62471-1 .

PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SAFETY OF LAMPS AND LAMP SYSTEMS –

Part 5: Image projectors



1 Scope
This part of IEC 62471 provides requirements regarding photobiological safety of the optical
radiation emitted by image projectors. This part of IEC 62471 does not deal with other
hazards such as electrical, mechanical or fire hazards.
This part of IEC 62471 provides requirements regarding:
• optical radiation safety assessment of image projectors;
• projector risk groups;
• testing conditions and measurement conditions;
• manufacturer’s requirements including user information.
The scope of this part of IEC 62471 is photobiological safety of image projectors including the
emissions from laser-illuminated projectors that fulfill the requirements as specified in
IEC 60825-1:2014, 4.4 and for which visible light emission has been excluded from
classification in IEC 60825-1.
This part of IEC 62471 does not address safety requirements for laser display products where
collimated laser beams — generally scanned — are employed. It does address those laser-
illuminated projectors that employ a laser source to illuminate, for example, a micro-electro-
mechanical system (MEMS) without scanned beams or crystal-based display projector system.
NOTE Image projectors containing lasers are subject to those provisions of IEC 60825-1 applicable to the
embedded laser. See IEC 60825-1:2014, 4.4 for which visible light emission has been excluded from the laser
product classification.
This part of IEC 62471 includes projectors for only visible image projection and does not
include ultraviolet (UV) projectors, infrared (IR) projectors, general lighting service (GLS)
lamps (GLS; defined in IEC 62471) or projector lamp systems used for general lighting, which
are treated in separate International Standards.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 62471,
IEC 60050-845 [2] and the following apply.
3.1
accessible emission
AE
level of radiation determined at a certain distance from the product and with measurement
conditions described in Clause 5
Note 1 to entry: The accessible emission is compared with the AEL (see 3.2) to determine the risk group of the
product.
3.2
accessible emission limit
AEL
maximum accessible emission permitted within a particular risk group
3.3
angle of acceptance
γ
plane angle within which a detector will respond to optical radiation
Note 1 to entry: The angle of acceptance is usually measured in radians (SI unit).
Note 2 to entry: This angle of acceptance may be controlled by apertures or optical elements in front of the
detector. The angle of acceptance is also sometimes referred to as the field of view (see 3.12).
Note 3 to entry: The angle of acceptance should not be confused with the angular subtense of the source
(see 3.4) or the beam divergence.
3.4
angular subtense
α
visual angle subtended by the app
